Hebrews 4:8
#5
Shlama Jerry,

How do you know those are two different names? Might they be one-and-the-same name and thus any distinction between them is artificial?

Since every instance of Joshua in the Hebrew OT is spelled Iesou in the LXX, as is my understanding, and similarly spelled `w$y (YeSHuWa`) in the Peshitta (Acts 7:45), then where is the evidence that these names are different? I don't think it's strange that a name like Joshua would change pronunciation over the years and be spelled a different way when it makes its way into a new language and alphabet.
