In the Septuagint, all instances of the word "Yehoshua" are rendered as "" (Iēsoūs), the closest Greek pronunciation of the , ). Thus, in modern Greek, Joshua is called "Jesus son of Naue" () to differentiate him from Jesus. This is also true in some Slavic languages following the Eastern Orthodox tradition (e.g. "", "Iisús Navín", in Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian, but not Czech). Joshua was a major figure in the events of the Exodus. He was charged by Moses with selecting and commanding a

The Bible refers to this place as "Givat Ha'aralot", then says that Joshua called the place Gilgal because, in his words, "today I have removed ("galoti") the shame of Egypt from upon you." Some scholars speculate that the circle of 12 stones was the (unnamed) religious sanctuary that was condemned in Amos 4:4 and 5:5 and Hosea 4:15. "The king of Goyim, of Gilgal" is listed as one of the 31 kings defeated by Joshua. His city is identified by Eusebius with Jaljulia. "Gilgal" is mentioned

pos: Hur (Bible) Hur (Bible) Hur () was a companion of Moses and Aaron in the Hebrew Bible. He was a member of the Tribe of Judah. His identity remains unclear in the Torah itself, but it is elaborated in rabbinical commentary. Other individuals named Hur are also mentioned in the Bible. In the Book of Exodus, Hur is first mentioned as a companion of Moses and Aaron watching the Battle of Rephidim against the Amalekites. He aided Aaron to hold up the hands of Moses when Moses realised that the Israelites prevailed in battle while his hands were raised: "Aaron and Hur

pos: Joshua Joshua Joshua () or Jehoshua ( "Yehoshuʿa") is the central figure in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Joshua.

There is a growing recognition that Genesis developed apart from the Exodus stories until joined to it by the Priestly writer. The Torah (or Pentateuch) is the collective name for the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. According to tradition they were dictated by God to Moses, but when modern critical scholarship began to be applied to the Bible it was discovered that the Pentateuch was not the unified text one would expect from a single author.

The town was located in the lowland hills of Judah, otherwise known as the Shephelah, and its location is unknown. The toponym Bozkath is derived from the root בצק, meaning “elevation”. In the Greek versions of the Hebrew Bible, Bozkath is transcribed as Βασηδωθ in LXX-A but is written Βαζκαθ in LXX-B. Bozkath is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, Joshua 15:39, as part of the Tribe of Judah's inheritance. The roster of towns in Joshua 15 is commonly thought to reflect

The Anakites (Hebrew Anakim) are described in the Hebrew Bible as giants. Little is known of his genealogy except that Joshua 15:13 describes him as the father of Anak, while the following verse refers to Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai as "sons of Anak." According to Joshua, Caleb drove these three out of his portion of the land of Canaan. The Bible also states that the city of

All occurrences of "Yeshua" in the Hebrew Bible are in I Chron. 24:11, II Chron. 31:15, Ezra, and Nehemiah where it is transliterated into English as Jeshua. Two of these men (Joshua the son of Nun and Joshua the High Priest) are mentioned in other books of the Hebrew Bible where they are instead called "Yehoshua" (transliterated into English as Joshua). The earlier form "Yehoshua" did not disappear, however, and remained in use as well.

Yokneam mentioned three times in the Hebrew Bible, all in the Book of Joshua. It first appears in a list of thirty one city-states defeated by Joshua and the Israelites. Later, it is mentioned as a city in the territory of the Tribe of Zebulun, settled by members of the Merarites family of the Tribe of Levi. After the destruction in the end of the Late Bronze Age, the city was rebuilt somewhere between the 12th

Gilgal is mentioned 39 times, in particular in the Book of Joshua, as the place where the Israelites camped after crossing the Jordan River (Joshua 4:19 - 5:12). The Hebrew term "Gilgal" most likely means "circle of stones". According to Joshua 4:19, Gilgal is a location "on the eastern border of Jericho" where the Israelites encamped immediately after crossing the Jordan River. There, they erected 12 stones as a memorial to the miraculous stopping of the river when they crossed. Joshua then ordered the

The Bible also identifies Zerah as the name of the founder of one of the Simeonite clans. "Zerah the Cushite" is mentioned by the Book of Chronicles as having invaded the Kingdom of Judah with an enormous army, in the days of Asa. According to the text, when Zerah's army reached that of Asa at Zephathah, Zerah's army was utterly defeated, by divine

He is only mentioned in his relationship to Rephaiah (Nehemiah 3:9); there is no other biographical data regarding him. While it is possible it could refer to one of the other persons by the name of Hur (other than the King of Midian) if "Rephaiah the son of Hur" means Hur was an ancestor and not a biological father, it is extremely unlikely.

It is probably identical with the Bamoth between Nahaliel and the "valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah", mentioned in the list of stopping-places in Numbers 21:19-20. Bethbamot in the Moabite Stone, line 27 (perhaps this is also the reading of Isaiah 16:2), may also be considered as connected with it. According to the allotments in Joshua

Since Og's territory was not on the route to Canaan, it was "more naturally part of the Promised Land", and so the Manassites' status is less problematic than that of the Reubenites or Gadites.

Japhia, the King of Lachish, is listed as one of the Five Amorite Kings that allied to repel the invasion. After a surprise attack from the Israelites, the kings took refuge in a cave, where they were captured and put to death. Joshua and the Israelites then took the city of Lachish after a

Archaeological artifacts unearthed at the site include a large Jewish cemetery, a Roman-Byzantine amphitheater, a Byzantine church, public baths, mosaics and burial caves. The earliest written record of Maresha was as a city in ancient Judah (Joshua 15:44). The Hebrew Bible mentions among other episodes

In the archaeological community, the Battle of Jericho has been thoroughly studied, and the consensus of modern scholars is the battles described in the Book of Joshua are not realistic, are not supported by the archeological record, and are not consistent with other texts in the Bible; for example, the Book of Joshua describes the extermination of the Canaanite tribes, yet at a later time Judges 1:1-2:5 suggests that the extermination was not complete.

Several kings ally together to fight the Israelites. The people of Gibeon, learning of the city's destruction, tricks the Israelites into a peace-treaty. When Joshua learns of the trickery, he curses the Gibeonites (Joshua 9). When the king of Jerusalem hears of the treaty, he and several other kings attack Gibeon, who then call on Joshua for help.

Identified as the ancient town of Yizre'el (Jezreel), it was known as Zir'in during Islamic rule, and was near the site of the Battle of Ain Jalut, in which the Mamluks halted Mongol expansion southward. Under the Ottomans, it was a small village, expanding during the British Mandate in the early 20th century. After its capture by Israel in 1948, Zir'in was destroyed.

During the Crusader period the settlement was called Caymont and was for a while, the center of a Seignory, the smallest of all in the history of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. In the 13th century the settlement was captured by the Muslim Mamluks. It is possible that during the Ottoman period, a fort was

The coin referred to in the lesson of the widow's mite was a "lepton", the smallest and least valuable coin in circulation in Palestine. The tribute penny was the coin that was shown to Jesus when he made his famous speech "Render unto Caesar..." It

The apparent setting of Joshua is the 13th century BCE, a time of widespread city-destruction, but with a few exceptions (Hazor, Lachish) the destroyed cities are not the ones the Bible associates with Joshua, and the ones it does associate with him show little or no sign of even being occupied at the time. Archaeologists generally agree that the Israelites had Canaanite origins:the culture of the earliest Israelite settlements is Canaanite, their cult-objects

The site of Janohah is thought by some to be at Yanun or nearby Khirbet Yanun, but this is disputed. A Janohah is also mentioned in 2 Kings 15:29: "came Tiglath-Pileser I king of Assyria, and took

If the Bible mentioned in the will is indeed the ‘Bible of St. Louis’, there is still the question of when it came to Spain. Since Alfonso was crowned king during the participation of Louis IX on the seventh Crusade, one can suspect that the manuscript arrived in Spain after 1254. This was indeed a busy period in the dynastic relations between Spain and France. The Toledo Bible was mentioned in an inventory of the treasures of the Cathedral

From Joshua to the formation of the first Kingdom of Israel, the Tribe of Ephraim was a part of a loose confederation of Israelite tribes. No central government existed, and in times of crisis the people were led by ad hoc leaders known as Judges (see the

Actual occupation and building work can be verified from the 4th century BCE, with the Hellenistic period.

Accordingly, Dagon in this version is Hadad's half-brother and stepfather. The Byzantine "Etymologicon Magnum" lists Dagon as the Phoenician Cronus. In the Hebrew Bible, Dagon is particularly the god of the Philistines with temples at Beth-dagon in the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19.27), in Gaza (Judges 16.23, which tells soon after how the temple is destroyed by Samson as his last act).

These seven nations were to be exterminated: Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
