Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous): Strong's Greek Number 2424, often used in the Septuagint as the Greek equivalent for Jeshua, and also the name for Jesus in the New Testament.

Usage: Jeshua is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably a high priest and a leader among the exiles returning from Babylon.

Context: • Jeshua the High Priest: Jeshua, son of Jozadak, served as the high priest during the time of Zerubbabel. He played a significant role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. His leadership is noted in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, where he is depicted as a key figure in the restoration of Jewish worship and community life. In Ezra 3:2, Jeshua is mentioned as one who "arose and built the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God."

• Jeshua in the Lineage of David: Another Jeshua is listed in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah, specifically in the lineage of David, as found in 1 Chronicles 24:11. This Jeshua is noted as a descendant of Shecaniah.

• Jeshua the Levite: In Nehemiah 8:7, a Levite named Jeshua is mentioned as one of those who helped the people understand the Law as it was read by Ezra. This indicates his role in the religious education and spiritual renewal of the people.

• Jeshua in the Return from Exile: Jeshua is also noted as one of the leaders who returned with Zerubbabel from Babylonian captivity, as recorded in Ezra 2:2 and Nehemiah 7:7. His leadership was crucial in the re-establishment of the Jewish community in Jerusalem.
