Commentaries on Numbers 13:16

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 16Oshea, Hoshea, or Hosea, the name also of the last king of Israel and the first minor prophet, means “deliverance” or and by the hand of him who bore the title of “God‘s salvation.” Jehoshua was contracted (compare Nehemiah 8:17) into Jeshua.Read the comment
