Jesus refers to Joshua, the son of Nun (Exodus 33:11; Numbers 14:6; 14:38; 27:18) from the tribe of Ephraim. He was
also called Oshea and Jehoshua (Numbers 13:16). Joshua was born a slave in Egypt but became a great Hebrew general (Exodus 17:9-16) and close adviser to Moses. As a young man, Joshua was sent to spy on Israel's enemies (Numbers 13:16). He also had the honor of being the only person permitted to follow Moses up Mount Sinai to receive the Mosaic Law (Ten Commandments) from God (Exodus 24:12-13). Moses sent Joshua to explore the Promised Land, and he returned with an encouraging report (Numbers 14:6-8). Later, God hand-picked him to succeed Moses (Numbers 27:15-23; Deuteronomy 31:14). When Moses passed away, Joshua led the Israelites to the promised land (Deuteronomy 1:38; 31:23; Joshua 22:4) after forty years in the wilderness. He then governed Israel for twenty-five years. He lived to be 110 and was buried in Timnath-serah in Ephraim. After Joshua died, Israel drifted away from God and began to follow the idolatry of their neighbors. You can find Joshua's story in "The Book Of Joshua."
