ye.ho.shu.a is a personal name borne chiefly by Joshua son of Nun, Israel's military leader and appointed successor to Moses.

The supplied verses chiefly use this proper name for Joshua son of Nun: Moses' attendant and successor, who is commissioned to bring Israel into the land and leads Israel in battle. It also identifies Joshua son of Jehozadak, called the high or great priest, as well as a Bethshemite landholder, a city ruler, and a person in a genealogy.

1. Joshua son of Nun as Israel's leader · dominant

   The proper name identifies Moses' attendant and appointed successor: in Exodus 33:11 the APB renders him as the attendant who remained in the tent, while in Deuteronomy 31:23 he is commanded to bring Israel into the land. In Joshua 10:24 the APB renders the clause in which the kings are brought out to him and he directs Israel's officers; Joshua 10:42 portrays him capturing kings and their land in a campaign.

2. Joshua son of Jehozadak, priest · occasional

   The proper name identifies Joshua son of Jehozadak alongside Zerubbabel and the remnant. In Haggai 1:14 the APB renders him as the high priest whose spirit is stirred to work on the house of the LORD; Haggai 2:4 addresses him as the great priest and calls him to be strong.

3. Bethshemite landholder · rare

   In 1 Samuel 6:14 the APB renders the name in the phrase "the field of Joshua the Bethshemite," where the cart stops; 1 Samuel 6:18 again locates the great Abel in that field. The name therefore identifies the person by whose field the location is described.

4. Other named individuals · rare

   The name also identifies distinct individuals outside the Joshua-son-of-Nun and priest contexts. In 2 Kings 23:8 the APB renders "Joshua the ruler of the city," and in 1 Chronicles 7:27 it occurs in a genealogy as "Joshua his son."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB generally presents the proper name as "Joshua," often distinguishing bearers with phrases such as "son of Nun," "son of Jehozadak," "the Bethshemite," or "the ruler of the city." These identifying phrases reflect the verse's presentation rather than a separate rendering of the name itself.
