Commentaries on Numbers 13:16
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16And Moses called Oshea Jehoshua - Oshea, Heb. הושע should be written Hoshea: the word signifies saved, or a savior, or salvation; but יהושע , he shall save, or the salvation of God; a letter, says Calmet, of the incommunicable name of God, being added to his former name.
