Enjoyed this list, Aaron! To add to it, I saw two allusions to Joshua in Episode 7. Adar's army damming the river and crossing to attack Eregion brought to mind the River Jordan drying up before Joshua and the Israelites in Joshua 3 as they entered the Promised Land. Sauron's self-description as "I am the one keeping the storm at bay. Balancing the very sun above your head" to Celebrimbor also brought to mind the book of Joshua, this time chapter 10 where the sun stood still above them.

Nice! I cut a few from the list, but I didn't even notice those two.
