The '''Book of Judges''', is the first secondt of the twelve Historical books and the sixth seventh book from the [[Old Testament]]. The English title, '''Joshua''', comes from the Hebrew ''Yeshua'' and the the Greek ''Iesous'', meaning "the Lord is salvation". Joshua's original name was ''Hoshea'' but Moses changed this name to ''Joshua'' ([[Book of Numbers]] 13:16). This change was prophetic, for it made Joshua a type of [[Jesus Christ]].
