This book is called Joshua (Josue), because it contains the history of what passed under Joshua, and according to the common opinion was written by him. The Greeks call him Jesus: for Joshua and Jesus in the Hebrew, are the same name, and have the same signification, viz., a saviour. And it was not without a mystery that he who was to bring the people into the land of promise should have his name changed from Osee (for so he was called before, Numbers 13:17), to Joshua or Jesus, to give us to understand, that Moses by his law could only bring the people within sight of the promised inheritance, but that our Saviour Jesus was to bring us into it.
