Joshua supposedly lived sometime in the late [[Bronze Age]], around 1200 BCE (Before Common Era). However, he is associated with problems concerning the evidence for the [[the Exodus|Exodus from Egypt]]. Various reconstructions of the Biblical data about the Exodus have not yet matched the [[archeological]] evidence{{POV-statement|date=December 2007}}. Accordingly, archeologists dispute the historicity of the many details in the Biblical account of the Exodus and often treat it as legendary embellishments of an earlier (still unidentified) event<ref> {{cite book|title=Confronting the past: Archaeology and historical essays on ancient Israel in honor of William G. Dever|author=Gitin, S., Wright, J.E., and Dessel, J.P. (editors)|publisher=Eisenbrauns|year=2006|isbn=978-1-57506-117-7|pages=257-258}}</ref>. However, others have taken the account to be legitimate and have based their scholarship on this, including [[Richard A. Gabriel]] who has viewed Biblical narratives from what he calls a "military" perspective, including the [[Conquest of Canaan]] by Joshua. Still others refer to the ancient letters of appeal by [[Canaanite]] leaders to [[ancient egypt|Egypt]] seeking assistance against the invasion of the [[Hapiru]] (see [[Amarna letters]]), who may or may not be the [[Hebrews|ancient Hebrews]]. |

According to the Bible, Joshua was the son of [[Nun (Bible)|Nun]], of the tribe of [[Tribe of Ephraim|Ephraim]], which would become known as the most militaristic of the tribes of Israel, largely through Joshua's campaigns. He was born in [[Egypt]] during the Israelite enslavement, and was probably the same age as [[Caleb]], with whom he is generally associated. |
|||
== Clout == |
|||
Joshua shared in all the events of [[the Exodus]]. He was Moses' apprentice, and accompanied him part of the way when he ascended [[Mount Sinai, Egypt|Mount Sinai]] to receive the [[Ten Commandments]] ([[Exd.]] 32:17). He was also one of the twelve spies who were sent on by Moses to explore the land of [[Canaan]] ([[Num.]] 13:16, 17), and only he and Caleb gave an encouraging report. He was commander at their first battle after exiting Egypt, against the [[Amalekites]] in [[Rephidim]] (Ex. 17:8-16), in which they were victorious. |

Joshua was appointed by Moses to succeed him as leader of the Israelites upon Moses' death. The first major part of his book is when he commanded the subsequent conquest of [[Canaan]]. As the Israelites came to the [[Jordan River]], the waters parted, as they did for Moses at the Red Sea. The first major battle was in [[Jericho]], a heavily fortified city just five miles west of the Jordan River, northwest of the [[Dead Sea]] which he took by following [[God]]'s instruction, ordering his host to march around the city for seven days, whereupon the city walls fell, just as God said they would. The Israelites then slaughtered "every living thing" inside Jericho and completely destroyed the city except for [[Rahab]] and her family, who had aided the two spies sent by Joshua to check out the city. Although they had been forbidden by God to take any of the spoils, Achan disobeyed and took some garments and silver, hiding them in his tent. When Israel tried to conquer Ai, a small neighboring city just West of Jericho, they were defeated and 36 Israelite warriors were killed. Achan's sin was exposed, he and his family and his animals were stoned to death, and the favor of God was again restored towards His people. Next, through clever ambush tactics, Joshua defeated [[Ai (Bible)|Ai]]. The Israelites faced a Southern alliance of the [[Amorite]] kings of [[Jerusalem]], [[Hebron]], [[Jarmuth]], [[Lachish]], and [[Eglon]]. At [[Gibeon]] Joshua defeated them by causing the Sun to stand still at Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of [[Ajalon]], so that he could finish the battle in daylight. Then Joshua faced a northern Canaanite king, [[Jabin]] of [[Hazor]], whom he defeated at the Waters of [[Mermon]], possibly referring to [[Lake Huleh]]. |
|||
---- |
|||
In the second main part of his book, Joshua divided the conquered land among the [[tribes of Israel]] as God had told him to. The framing narrative, describing the process by which the land was divided (12:1-6, 13:1-14, 13:21b-22, 13:32-14:3, 15:63, 16:10-17:6, 17:12-18:10, 19:51, and 22:1-9). First a description is given of the domains east of the Jordan which were conquered and given to [[Reuben]], [[Gad]], and [[Machir]] (half of Manasseh). After God gave Joshua a gloss concerning the unconquered region, he reminded him about Reuben, Gad, and Machir (half of Manasseh), already having been allocated land by Moses, and about the Levites not being given territory, only cities. The territory was handed out by lot, Judah gaining the first lot, although they failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Jerusalem. Then the house of Joseph got its territory, Ephraim failing to drive out the Canaanites of Gezer, and it is pointed out that the daughters of Zelophehad, part of the tribe of Manasseh, were also given territory of their own. The house of Joseph was given the mountain region, including the forest, and they are told that they will be able to drive out the Canaanites living there despite the presence of iron chariots. The Israelites then assembled at Shiloh, and Joshua sent out a survey team. When the survey was complete, the remaining land was divided amongst the lesser tribes. Finally, the tribes whose lands are east of the Jordan were allowed to go to their lands. |

When he was "old and well advanced in years" <ref>Joshua 23:1-2, New International Version</ref> Joshua convened the elders and chiefs of the Israelites and exhorted them to have no fellowship with the native population because it could lead them to be unfaithful to God. <ref>Joshua 23:7-8, 12-13, New International Version</ref> At a general assembly of the clans at [[Shechem]] he took leave of the people, admonishing them to be loyal to their God, who had been so mightily manifested in the midst of them. As a witness of their promise to serve God, Joshua set up a great stone under an oak by the sanctuary of God. Soon afterward he died, at the age of 110, and was buried at [[Timnath-heres|Timnath Serah]]. |

|||
In [[rabbinic literature|rabbinic Jewish literature]] Joshua is regarded as a faithful, humble, deserving, wise man. Biblical verses illustrative of these qualities and of their reward are applied to him. "He that waits on his master shall be honored" ([[Pro.]] xxvii. 18) is construed as a reference to Joshua ([[Midrash Numbers Rabbah]] xii.), as is also the first part of the same verse, "Whoso keepes the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof" (Midrash [[Yalk.]], Josh. 2; ''Numbers Rabbah'' xii. 21). That "honor shall uphold the humble in spirit" ([[Pro.]] xxix. 23) is proved by Joshua's victory over Amalek (''Midrash Numbers Rabbah'' xiii). Not the sons of Moses — as Moses himself had expected — but Joshua was appointed successor to the son of Amram (''Midrash Numbers Rabbah'' xii). Moses was shown how Joshua reproved that [[Othniel]] (''Yalḳ''., Num. 776). Joshua's manliness recommended him for this high post. [[David]] referred to him in [[Psalms]] lxxxvii. 25, though without mentioning the name, lest dissensions should arise between his sons and those of his brothers (Yalḳ., quoting ''[[Sifre]]''). |

==What [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Rankings]] project is not== |
|||
==Hebrew name== |
|||
*This is not suggesting a hierarcal system. |
|||
The original Hebrew name Yehoshua {{hebrew|יהושע}} often lacks a Hebrew letter Vav ({{hebrew|ו}}) after the Shin ({{hebrew|ש}}), allowing a misreading of the [[nikud|vocalization]] of the name, as if Yehoshea ({{hebrew|יְהוֹשֵׁעַ}}), and indeed his name was Hoshea before his namechange to Yehoshua by recommendation of Moses ({{bibleverse||Numbers|13:16|HE}}). Nevertheless, the use of a [[mater lectionis]] was an orthographic innovation, and although the use of two Vavs is well attested as {{hebrew|יְהוֹשׁוּעַ}} (for example, {{bibleverse||Deuteronomy|3:21|HE}}), traditional orthography tended to avoid the second Vav as too intrusive when spelling Yehoshua. The name Yehoshua` in Hebrew means "Yahweh is Salvation," "Yahweh delivers" or "Yahweh rescues" from the Hebrew root {{hebrew|ישע}}, "to deliver," "to be liberated," or "to be victorious"<ref>''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</ref> |

You have culled the [[Vilhelm Hammershøi]] page and hidden the history. I am sure that much of the content you have removed is not copyrighted (though I'm not certain that some wasn't). I think there was stuff that I wrote myself that is now gone. Unfortunately I can't check as there are no old versions. What material do you believe was violating copyright? Is there a copy of the pre-culled version somewhere so people can see the differences? Wouldn't it have been better to discus the matter on the talk page before making these permanent changes? --[[User:Bucephalus|Bucephalus]] 21:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC) |

You have culled the Vilhelm Hammershøi page and hidden the history. I am sure that much of the content you have removed is not copyrighted (though I'm not certain that some wasn't). I think there was stuff that I wrote myself that is now gone. Unfortunately I can't check as there are no old versions. What material do you believe was violating copyright? Is there a copy of the pre-culled version somewhere so people can see the differences? Wouldn't it have been better to discus the matter on the talk page before making these permanent changes? --Bucephalus 21:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Will you be answering my questions or are you just going to ignore me? --Bucephalus 19:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I realise that you are an administrator and I am not, but that doesn't mean that you get to ignore my perfectly reasonable questions. Please answer. --Bucephalus 20:48, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hurry up and look. You could have asked for this on the Wikipedia:Help desk, BTW. -- Zanimum 20:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Your VandalProof Application
Dear Bucephalus,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that you lack of vandal fighting experience. Please use proper warnings with appropriate edit summaries, see WP:VAND. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. Prodego talk 22:56, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
you have no cock and are a nigger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.251.51.194 (talk) 17:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your contribution. --Bucephalus (talk) 23:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry
I'll stop now, I just had too much caffeine this morning. It got me a few laughs, oh well, I guess I'm immature. --Dave Willock
P.S.:Seriously though, I'll stop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.13.28 (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I tried to re-assert my guilt and "Sorriness". I'm sorry, take care... and continue being the wiki-vigilante. ...</3 -- Dave Willock
