Berean Strong's Lexicon Nun or Non: Nun or Non Original Word: נוּן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נוּן (nun), which can mean "to propagate" or "to continue." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name "Nun" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew lineage. However, the Greek equivalent for Joshua, "Ἰησοῦς" (Iēsous), is found in the New Testament. Usage: The name "Nun" or "Non" is primarily used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the father of Joshua, the successor of Moses. The name itself is often associated with the idea of perpetuation or continuation, fitting for the lineage that leads to Joshua, a key figure in Israel's history. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or indicative of a person's role or destiny. Nun, as the father of Joshua, is part of the Ephraimite lineage, which holds a prominent place among the tribes of Israel. Joshua, son of Nun, is a central figure in the conquest of Canaan and the establishment of Israel in the Promised Land.
