The Nave mosaics represent scenes from the Old Testament indeed, and here's a key.
According to that, the first scene is Joshua at the battle of Gibeon (he orders the sun to stand still). Second is a battle between Israelites and Amalekites, watched by Moses, Aaron and Hur. Third picture has Moses sweetening the water at Marah, below the Amalekites refusing the Isrealites access to their territory. Last picture shows the conquest of Jericho (note the tumbling walls).
