The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
Jehoshua means “the LORD delivers,” so this genealogy carries deliverance in a person’s name.
THE MEANING
This verse places a name of deliverance in a line of sons: Jehoshua means “the LORD delivers.” Deliverance appears here as a living nature carried in a name, not merely as an idea.
THE ROOT
יְהוֹשֻׁעַ
Yehoshua
GROWS FROM
ישע
y-š-ʿ
To deliver, bringing someone out of constriction into spaciousness.
Jehoshua joins the divine name to yasha: “the LORD delivers.” The root makes deliverance an action that brings someone out into room to move, and the name carries that action in a person.
ALSO GROWS
yeshuah: Deliverance
יְשׁוּעָה
This noun names the movement held in Yehoshua: being brought out of constriction.
moshia: Deliverer
מוֹשִׁיעַ
This word names the one who carries out the root’s action, giving the name Jehoshua a human form.
THE PATTERN
Scripture lets a name carry the nature of the deliverance associated with its bearer.
These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.THE THREAD
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.Here “Jesus” refers to Joshua son of Nun; the Greek name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) is the same name-form used for Jehoshua and for Jesus. Hebrews says Joshua’s rest was not final, letting the name’s deliverance reach beyond a single bearer.
