Book Of Joshua
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian captivity, Babylonian exile. It tells of the campaigns of the Israelites in central, southern and northern Canaan, the destruction of their enemies, and the division of the land among the Twelve Tribes of Israel, Twelve Tribes, framed by two set-piece speeches, the first by God commanding the conquest of the land, and, at the end, the second by Joshua warning of the need for faithful observance of the Law (''torah'') revealed to Moses. The scholarly consensus is that the Book of Joshua is not a reliable historical account, with Archaeology, archaeological evidence contradicting its claims of a swift, violent conquest of Canaan. The earliest parts of the book are possibly chapters 2–11, the story of the conquest; these chapters were later incorporated into an early form of Joshua li ...

Jesus (name)
Jesus () is a masculine given name derived from ''Iēsous'' (; in Classical Latin) the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew name ''Yeshua'' (). As its roots lie in the name '' Isho'' in Aramaic and ''Yeshua'' in Hebrew, it is etymologically related to another biblical name, ''Joshua''. The vocative form ''Jesu'', from Latin ''Iesu'', was commonly used in religious texts and prayers during the Middle Ages, particularly in England, but gradually declined in usage as the English language evolved. ''Jesus'' is usually not used as a given name in the English-speaking world, while its counterparts have had longstanding popularity among people with other language backgrounds, such as the Spanish ''Jesús''.

Joshua (name)
Joshua is a given name derived from the Hebrew ( Modern: ''Yəhōšūaʿ'', Tiberian: ''Yŏhōšūaʿ''), prominently belonging to Joshua, an early Hebrew leader of the Exodus period who has a major role in several books of the Bible. In later periods, a common alternative form of the name was Yeshua (, ''Yēšūaʿ'') which corresponds to the Greek spelling Ἰησοῦς (''Iesous''), from which, through the Latin ''Iesus'', comes the English spelling Jesus. As a result of the origin of the name, a majority of people before the 17th century who have this name were Jewish. A variant, truncated form of the name, Josh, gained popularity in the United States in the 1920s. Popularity Information from the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics from 2003 to 2007 shows "Joshua" among the top-five given names for newborn males. In Scotland, the popularity of "Joshua" has been substantially lower than in the rest of the United Kingdom, appearing at rank 35 in 2000 and rising t ...
