The book essentially consists of three parts:
- The history of the conquest of the land (1-12).
- The allotment of the land to the different tribes, with the appointment of cities of refuge, the provision for the Levites (13-22), and the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes.

Certain cantillation marks appear in Nevi'im but not within any of the Haftarah selections, and most communities therefore do not have a musical tradition for those marks. Cantillation is the ritual chanting of readings from the Bible in Synagogue services. J. L. Neeman suggested that "those who recite Nevi'im privately with the cantillation melody may read the words accented by those rare notes by using a "metaphor" based on the melody of those notes in the five books of the Torah, while adhering to the musical scale of the melody for Nevi'im. " Neeman includes a reconstruction of the musical scale for the lost melodies of the rare cantillation notes. Cantillation is the ritual chanting of readings from the Bible in Synagogue services. [1]
