Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from יְהֹוָה (YHWH, the Tetragrammaton for the name of God) and יָשַׁע (yasha, meaning "to save" or "to deliver").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2424 (Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous): This Greek name is the equivalent of the Hebrew Jehoshua and is used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus Christ. The name Jesus, like Jehoshua, means "The LORD is salvation."
G919 (Βαριησοῦς, Bariesous): This is a less common Greek name that also shares the root with Jehoshua, though it is not directly related to the primary figures associated with the Hebrew name.

Jehoshua, as a name, encapsulates the theme of divine salvation and deliverance, a concept that is central to both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The name Jehoshua is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably Joshua, the son of Nun, who succeeded Moses as the leader of the Israelites and led them into the Promised Land. It is also used for other figures, such as a high priest during the time of the return from Babylonian exile.

Context: Joshua, Son of Nun: Jehoshua, commonly known as Joshua, is a central figure in the Hebrew Bible. He is first introduced in the Book of Exodus as Moses' assistant and later becomes the leader of the Israelites after Moses' death. Joshua is best known for leading the Israelites in the conquest of Canaan, as detailed in the Book of Joshua. His leadership is marked by the crossing of the Jordan River, the fall of Jericho, and the distribution of the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joshua's faithfulness and obedience to God are highlighted throughout the narrative. In Joshua 24:15 (BSB), he famously declares, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
High Priest Joshua: Another notable figure named Jehoshua is the high priest during the time of the prophet Zechariah. He played a significant role in the rebuilding of the temple after the Babylonian exile. In Zechariah 3:1-10 (BSB), Joshua is depicted in a vision where he is cleansed and given new garments, symbolizing the restoration of the priesthood and the nation of Israel.
