בִּ/יהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ
𐤁/𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏
Yehoshua
to Joshua
Personal name meaning 'YHWH is salvation' or 'YHWH saves.' Used chiefly of two individuals in the Hebrew Bible: (1) Joshua son of Nun, the Israelite leader who succeeded Moses and led the people into the land of Canaan, and (2) Joshua son of Jehozadak, a high priest in the post-exilic period. The name is both a theophoric personal name and, by extension, attests to trust in YHWH's saving action. It does not denote a broad range of objects or types, but is used chiefly as a proper name.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3091-01
in YHWH-saves
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to masculine singular proper name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (theophoric personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ combines the theophoric element Yeho- (YHWH) with the root ישע (to save), meaning "YHWH saves" or "YHWH is salvation." The prefixed בִּ adds the prepositional sense "in," so the rendering preserves both the salvific root and the attached preposition. |
