JEHOSHUA

je-hosh'-u-a (yehoshua`, "Yahweh is deliverance," or "is opulence"): The usual Hebrew form of the name "Joshua"; it occurs in the King James Version of Numbers 13:16 (the American Standard Revised Version "Hoshea"); and in some editions of the King James Version in 1 Chronicles 7:27, where others have the form "Jehoshuah" (h being wrongly added at the end).
