Joshua or Jehoshua ( ''Yĕhôshúʿa'' or ''Yĕshúʿa''; ''Isho''; (ギリシア語:Ἰησοῦς), (アラビア語:يوشع بن نون) ''Yūshaʿ ibn Nūn''; (ラテン語:Iosue), (トルコ語:Yuşa)), is a figure in the Torah, being one of the spies for Israel (Num 13–14) and identified in several passages as Moses' assistant.〔Michael D. Coogan, "A Brief Introduction to the Old Testament" page 166-167, Oxford University Press, 2009〕 He is the central figure in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Joshua. According to the books of Exodus, Numbers and Joshua, he became the leader of the Israelite tribes after the death of Moses. His name was Hoshe'a (הוֹשֵׁעַ) the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, but Moses called him Yehoshu'a (יְהוֹשֻעַ; Joshua in English) () the name by which he is commonly known. The name is shortened to Yeshua in Nehemiah (). According to the Bible he was born in Egypt prior to the Exodus.〔 He was one of the twelve spies of Israel sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. () After the death of Moses, he led the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan, and allocated the land to the tribes. According to Biblical chronology, Joshua lived between 1355-1245 BCE,〔Josephus, ''Antiquities of the Jews'', V.1.28, says that Joshua died twenty years after the conquest of Canaan.〕 or sometime in the late Bronze Age. According to , Joshua died at the age of 110. Joshua also holds a position of respect among Muslims. According to Islamic tradition, he was, along with Caleb, one of the two believing spies whom Moses had sent to spy the land of Canaan. All Muslims also see Joshua as the leader of the Israelites, following the death of Moses. Some Muslims also believe Joshua to be the "attendant" of Moses mentioned in the Qur’ān, before Moses meets Khidr and some believe that he is a prophet. ==Name== The English name "Joshua" is a rendering of the Hebrew language "Yehoshua", meaning "Yahweh is salvation".〔''A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament'' Francis Brown, with S.R. Driver and C.A. Briggs, based on the lexicon of William Gesenius. Oxford: Clarendon Press. p. 221 & 446〕〔(Fausset's Bible Dictionary )〕 The vocalization of the second name component may be read as Hoshea - the name used in the Torah before Moses added the divine name ().〔Joshua, ''New Bible Dictionary'', second edition. 1987. Douglas JD, Hillyer N, eds., Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Wheaton, IL, USA ISBN 0-8423-4667-8〕 "Jesus" is the English of the Greek transliteration of "Yehoshua" via Latin. In the Septuagint, all instances of the word "Yehoshua" are rendered as "" (Iēsoūs), the closest Greek pronunciation of the (, ).〔cf (Numbers 13:16 LXX ) (and Moses named Hosea, son of Naue, ''Jesus'')〕〔(The High Priest Jesus in Zechariah 3 LXX )〕 Thus in Greek Joshua is called "Jesus son of Naue" () to differentiate him from Jesus Christ. This is also true in the Slavic languages following the Eastern Orthodox tradition (e.g. "" (Iisús Navín) in Russian). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joshua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
