Meaning
“The Lord is salvation”
Josué foi o sucessor de Moisés que liderou Israel na Terra Prometida. Do hebraico Yehoshua, que significa "Yahweh é salvação" - o nome é composto por Yahweh (nome de Deus) e yasha (salvar). Josué é a forma hebraica de Jesus. Quando jovem, ele foi um dos apenas dois espiões fiéis que acreditaram que Deus poderia lhes dar Canaã. Após a morte de Moisés, Josué liderou corajosamente Israel na conquista da terra, incluindo a famosa vitória em Jericó. Sua liderança e fé inabalável em Deus o tornaram um dos maiores líderes de Israel.
