When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset. Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.”

(27) Non.—Everywhere else Nun, the father of Joshua the servant and successor of Moses. 1Ch_7:25-27 trace his ancestry, as it would seem, through seven or eight generations to Rephah, son of Beriah or Ephraim. At 1Ch_6:1-3 only two names are given between Levi, uncle of Ephraim, and Moses, Joshua’s elder contemporary. But abundant reason has already been shown for not interpreting these genealogies in a slavishly literal spirit, and without regard to their own contrary indications. It is obvious to common sense that when it is said that Moses was “son of Amram, son of Kohath, son of Levi,” the meaning cannot be that only two generations intervened between the tribal patriarch and the age of Moses. Moreover, it is, to say the least, doubtful that the names in 1Ch_7:25 represent a lineal descent of individuals, and not a group of variously connected clans. “Telah” looks like a fragment of Shuthelah (1Ch_7:20); and perhaps the true reading of 1Ch_7:25 is, “And Rephah his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Tahan his son,” we-Reshef, we-The-lah being a possible distortion of we-Shuthelah.

Joshua and Jesus: resemblance and contrast.
Read full note →
The identity of the names the one being the Greek form of the other has led the Church to look on the Hebrew Captain as a type of the Saviour of the world. (For confirmation, see Heb_4:8) There are certain resemblances, though the contrasts are as striking if not as numerous.
I RESEMBLANCES BETWEEN JOSHUA AND JESUS.
1. They both bore the same name.
2. They both brought to the people of God deliverance from the enemies ofGod.
3. They were both obedient to "him that sent them," and wrought out thework which he gave them to do.
4. They both led (or, lead) the people of God into the promised land.
5. They both began their earthly life in obscurity, and rose (or, have risen)to the highest point of human honour.
II CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE HUMAN CAPTAIN AND THE DIVINE DELIVERER.
1. Joshua was engaged in the work of his life for (at least) thirty years; theLord for (at most) three.
2. Joshua fought with carnal weapons, and won victories with sword ofsteel; Christ fought only with spiritual weapons, and his conquest is the triumph of truth and grace.
3. Joshua had good reason to fear that by his death his life-work would beundone; the Saviour had the best reason to know that by his death his lifework would be sealed and crowned.
4. Joshua led a nation into a land which would prove a temporaryinheritance; the redeeming Lord leads the human race "into everlasting habitations," into the one city which is eternal. Better the humblest post amongst the followers of Jesus than the proudest place in the ranks of Joshua. C.
