Haydock's commentary
Jesus, the son of Nave. So Josue is named in the Greek Bibles. For Josue and Jesus signify the same thing, viz., a Saviour; (Challoner) and Nave is the Greek pronunciation of Nun; (Haydock) or this is an old fault of transcribers. (Calmet)
Among. Greek, "in the prophecies." (Haydock)
He was endued with the prophetic spirit, and was raised up by God as a noble figure of the great prophet, Deuteronomy xviii. 15. (Calmet)
He succeeded Moses in the temporal power; the spiritual belonged to the sons of Aaron, Numbers xxvii. (Worthington)
