JESHUA (another form of Joshua).1. Joshua the son of Nun (Neh_8:17). 2. The head of the ninth course of priests (1Ch_24:11). 3. A Levite in the time of Hezekiah (2Ch_31:15). 4. A man of the house of Pahath-moab whose descendants returned with Zerub. (Ezr_2:6, Neh_7:11 [1Es_5:11 Jesus]); perhaps identical with No. 2 above. 5. A Levitical house or its successive heads in the times of Zerub., Ezra, and Nehemiah; mentioned in connexion with the building of the Temple (Ezr_3:9), the explanation of the Law (Neh_8:7; cf. Neh_9:4 f.), and the sealing of the covenant (Neh_10:9). Cf. also Ezr_2:40 [1Es_5:26 Jesus] 1Es_8:33 [1Es_8:63 Jesus], Neh_7:43; Neh_12:8; Neh_12:24. 6. The high priest who along with Zerub. headed the first band of exiles. In Ezr. and Neb. he is called Jeshua, in Hag. and Zec. Joshua. He took a leading part in the erection of the altar of burnt-offering and the laying of the foundations of the Temple (Ezr_3:2 ff.). In Hag. and Zec. he is frequently coupled with Zerub., after these prophets had begun to stimulate the people to undertake building operations in earnest (Hag_1:1; Hag_1:12; Hag_1:14, Zec_3:1 ff; Zec_6:10-11). He is eulogized in Sir_49:12 [Jesus], 7. A priestly family, Ezr_2:36 = Neh_7:39 = 1Es_5:24 [Jesus]. 8. A town in the south of Judah (Neh_11:26). The site is possibly at the ruin Sawi west of Tett Arad and south of Attîr.

1. 1Ch_24:11. See as to his descendants JEDAIAH (Ezr_2:36).
2. 2Ch_31:15.
3. Son of Jehozadak who went into captivity (1Ch_6:15). First high priest of the third series, namely, that which succeeded the Babylonian captivity; ancestor of the 14 high priests down to Joshua (or Jason) and Onias (or Menelaus). Zerubbabel's contemporary. Came from Babylon in Cyrus' first year; took part in rebuilding the temple; first of all restored the altar and daily sacrifice, then in the second month of the second year of the return from Babylon laid the foundation of the temple (Ezra 3). Fourteen years' interruption to the work was caused by the Samaritans' influence upon Artaxerxes (pseudo-Smerdis). It was resumed in Darius Hystaspis' year by Jeshua and Zerubbabel, with Haggai's (Hag_1:1; Hag_1:12; Hag_1:14; Hag_2:1-9) and Zechariah's cooperation (Zechariah 1-8), and completed in his sixth year, on the 3rd of the month Adar.
At the dedication a sin-offering was offered "for all Israel, 12 he-goats, according to the number of the tribes" (Ezr_6:15-22), and they kept the Passover "seven days with joy, for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of the God of Israel." Jeshua represents Jerusalem (and so the church) before Jehovah; accused by Satan, but justified by Jehovah, of His own will and choice, through Messiah his Advocate, who strips off his rags (compare Isa_64:6), and "clothes him with change of raiment (the filthy garments were worn by those on trial; the white robe or caftan is put on an Eastern minister of state when acquitted; compare Isa_61:10), and sets a fair (symbolizing purity) mitre (the priestly turban, the pledge of the reestablished priesthood) upon his head," in answer to Zechariah's prayer Zec_3:1-9). So the wedding garment, Christ's righteousness, imputed for justification, imparted for sanctification (Mat_22:11).
The restoration of the glory of the priesthood was first at the completion of the second temple, fully in Jesus or Joshua, who represents Israel, "the kingdom of priests" (Exo_19:6). Once clad in our vileness, yet He was the chosen of the Father (Isa_42:1; Isa_44:1; Isa_49:1-3). Ceasing from connection with sin by death, in garments of glory He has entered the heavenly holy place as our High-priest (Heb_8:1; Heb_9:24). So now (1Pe_2:5) the "holy priesthood" is not restricted to one order; all Christians are priests unto God, arrayed in "the best robe" (Luk_15:22; Rev_19:8). So the literal Israel hereafter (Isa_3:6; Isa_66:21). They of the captivity brought silver and gold, which were made into crowns and set upon Jeshua's head by Jehovah's command; symbolizing the combination of kingship and priesthood in Messiah, unknown to the Levitical priesthood, realized in Him of whom Melehizedek was type (Zec_6:9-13; Psa_110:1-4; Hebrew 5-6).
"The counsel of peace shall be between both" the kingship and the priesthood. As priest He expiates sin, as king He extirpates it. It is the "counsel" of infinite wisdom (Isa_9:6; Eph_1:8-11; Heb_6:17) to reconcile God's justice as a king with His love as father and priest. Only by being pardoned by His priestly atonement and ruled by His kingly laws we find "peace;" (Luk_2:14; Act_10:36; Eph_2:13-17).
4. Neh_8:17.
5. Chief of a Levitical house that assisted Zerubbabel, and long subsequently Ezra and Nehemiah (Ezr_2:40; Ezr_3:9; Neh_3:17-19; Neh_8:7; Neh_9:45; Neh_12:8). "Jeshua" is used either for the whole family or its successive heads. Jeshua and Kadmiel were "sons (descendants) of Hodaviah," or Judah (Ezr_3:9; Ezr_2:40), but Jeshua's immediate ancestor was Azaniah (Neh_10:9). In Neh_12:24, the text is corrupt probably; "Jeshua and Kadmiel," or "and the sons of Kadmiel" may be conjectured:
6. Neh_7:11; Neh_10:14; Ezr_10:30.
7. A town reinhabited by the people of Judah on the return from Babylon (Neh_11:26). On the line of retreat of the five kings who fought at Gibeon, midway between the lower Bethhoron and Shochoh, near Azekah, is the large village Yeshua, which probably commemorates Joshua's commanding the sun to stand still upon Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon, a day without a parallel (Jos_10:12-14).

Jesh?ua, or Joshua, son of Jozedech, and high priest of the Jews when they returned, under Zerubbabel, from the Babylonian exile (B.C. 536). He was, doubtless, born during the exile. His presence and exhortations greatly promoted the rebuilding of the city and temple. The altar of the latter being first erected, enabled him to sanctify their labor by the religious ceremonies and offerings which the law required. Jeshua joined with Zerubbabel in opposing the machinations of the Samaritans (Ezr_4:3); and he was not found wanting in zeal when the works, after having been interrupted, were resumed in the second year of Darius Hystaspis (Ezr_5:2; Hag_1:12). Several of the prophet Haggai's utterances are addressed to Jeshua (Hag_1:1; Hag_2:2), and his name occurs in two of the symbolical prophecies of Zechariah (Zec_3:1-10; Zec_6:11-15). In the first of these passages Jeshua, as pontiff, represents the Jewish people covered at first with the garb of slaves, and afterwards with the new and glorious vestures of deliverance. In the second he wears for a moment crowns of silver and gold, as symbols of the sacerdotal and regal crowns of Israel, which were to be united on the head of the Messiah.

(Heb. Yeshu'a, יְשׁוּעִ, a contracted form of JOSHUA, i.q. JESUS; Sept. Ι᾿ησοῦς), the name of several men, also of a place.
1. (Neh_8:17.) SEE JOSHUA.
2. The head of the ninth sacerdotal class as arranged by David (1Ch_24:11, where the name is Anglicized Jeshuah). B.C. 1014. He is thought by some to be the Jeshua of Ezr_2:36. But see No. 6.
3. One of the Levites appointed by Hezekiah to distribute the sacred offerings in the sacerdotal cities (2Ch_31:15). B.C. 726.
4. A descendant (or native) of Pahath-moab (q.v.) mentioned along with Joab as one whose posterity, to the number of 2812 (2818), returned from Babylon (Ezr_2:6; Neh_7:11). B.C. ante 536.
5. A Levite named along with Kadmiel as one whose descendants (called children [? inhabitants] of Hodaviah or Hodeviah), to the number of 74, returned from Babylon (Ezr_2:40; Neh_7:43). B.C. ante 536. See Nos. 9 and 10.
6. Jeshua (or JOSHUA as he is called in Hag_1:1; Hag_1:12; Hag_2:2; Hag_2:4; Zec_3:1; Zec_3:3; Zec_3:6; Zec_3:8-9), the son of Jozadak or Jozedech, and high priest of the Jews when they returned, under Zerubbabel, from the Babylonian exile (Neh_7:7; Neh_12:1; Neh_12:7; Neh_12:10; Neh_12:26; Ezr_2:2; Ezr_10:18). B.C. 536. He was doubtless born during the exile. His presence and exhortations greatly promoted the rebuilding of the city and Temple (Ezr_5:2). B.C. 520-446. The altar of the latter being first erected enabled him to sanctify their labor by the religious ceremonies and offerings which the law required (Ezr_3:2; Ezr_3:8-9). Jeshua joined with Zerubbabel in opposing the machinations of the Samaritans (Ezr_4:3); and he was not found wanting in zeal (comp. Ecclesiastes 49:12) when the works, after having been interrupted, were resumed in the second year of Darius Hystaspis (Ezr_5:2; Hag_1:12). Several of the prophet Haggai's utterances are addressed to Jeshua (Hag_1:1; Hag_2:2), and his name occurs in two of the symbolical prophecies of Zechariah (Zec_3:1-10; Zec_6:11-15).

In the second he wears for a moment crowns of silver and gold, as symbols of the sacerdotal and regal crowns of Israel, which were to be united on the head of the Messiah. Kitto. SEE HIGH PRIEST. He is probably the person alluded to in Ezr_2:36; Neh_7:39. SEE JEDIAH.
7. Father of Jozabad, which latter was one of the Levites appointed by Ezra to take charge of the offerings for the sacred services (Ezr_8:33). B.C. ante 459.
8. The father of Ezer, which latter is mentioned as the ruler of Mizpah who repaired part of the walls of Jerusalem after the exile (Neh_3:19). B.C. ante 446.
9. A Levite, son of Azaniah (Neh_10:9), who actively cooperated in the reformation instituted by Nehemiah (Neh_8:7; Neh_9:4-5; Neh_12:8). B.C. cir. 410. He was possibly identical with No. 5.
10. Son of Kadmiel, one of the Levites in the Temple on its restoration after the captivity, in the time of Eliashib (Neh_12:24). B.C. cir. 406. Perhaps, however, son is here a transcriber's error for and; so that this Jeshua will be the same as No. 5.
11. A city of Judah inhabited after the captivity, mentioned in connection with Jekabzeel, Moladah, and other towns in the lowlands of Judah (Neh_11:26). According to Schwarz (Palest. p. 116), it is the village Yesue, near Khulda, five English miles east of Ekron; doubtless the village Yeshua [locally pronounced Eshwa] seen by Dr. Robinson (new edit. of Researches, 3, 154,155), and laid down on Van de Velde's Map on wady Ghurab, between Zorah and Chesalon.

8. The father of Ezer, which latter is mentioned as the ruler of Mizpah who repaired part of the walls of Jerusalem after the exile (Neh_3:19). B.C. ante 446.
9. A Levite, son of Azaniah (Neh_10:9), who actively cooperated in the reformation instituted by Nehemiah (Neh_8:7; Neh_9:4-5; Neh_12:8). B.C. cir. 410. He was possibly identical with No. 5.
10. Son of Kadmiel, one of the Levites in the Temple on its restoration after the captivity, in the time of Eliashib (Neh_12:24). B.C. cir. 406. Perhaps, however, son is here a transcriber's error for and; so that this Jeshua will be the same as No. 5.
11. A city of Judah inhabited after the captivity, mentioned in connection with Jekabzeel, Moladah, and other towns in the lowlands of Judah (Neh_11:26). According to Schwarz (Palest. p. 116), it is the village Yesue, near Khulda, five English miles east of Ekron; doubtless the village Yeshua [locally pronounced Eshwa] seen by Dr. Robinson (new edit. of Researches, 3, 154,155), and laid down on Van de Velde's Map on wady Ghurab, between Zorah and Chesalon.
