    The form is tagged as a proper noun in every occurrence. In Ezra 3:2 and Ezra 3:8, the APB renders Jeshua as the son of Jozadak while describing the priests' altar building and the beginning of work on the house of God; Ezra 10:18 likewise names Jeshua son of Jozadak among the priests. In Nehemiah 12:26, the APB renders a lineage sequence, “Joiakim son of Jeshua son of Jozadak.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB presents the name in familial lineage expressions, especially “son of Jozadak.” This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a separate lexical rendering.
