Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Oshea--that is, "a desire of salvation." Jehoshua, by prefixing the name of God, means "divinely appointed," "head of salvation," "Saviour," the same as Jesus [Mat 1:21, Margin]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Oshea, 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 Neh 8:17) into Jeshua. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Jehoshua
That is, Saviour, or Deliverer. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Jehoshua - Oshea notes a desire of salvation, signifying, Save we pray thee; but Jehoshua, or Joshua, includes a promise of salvation, He will save. So this was a prophecy of his succession to Moses in the government, and of the success of his arms. Joshua is the same name with Jesus, of whom Joshua was a type. He was the Saviour of God's people from the powers of Canaan, Christ from the powers of hell. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| And Moses called Oshea Jehoshua - Oshea, Heb. הושע should be written Hoshea: the word signifies saved, or a savior, or salvation; but יהושע, he shall save, or the salvation of God; a letter, says Calmet, of the incommunicable name of God, being added to his former name. This was not the first time in which he had the name Joshua; see Exo 17:9 (note), and the note there. Some suppose he had this change of name in consequence of his victory over Amalek; see Exo 17:13, Exo 17:14. |

14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Write [03789] this for a memorial [02146] in a book [05612], and rehearse [07760] it in the ears [0241] of Joshua [03091]: for I will utterly [04229] put out [04229] the remembrance [02143] of Amalek [06002] from under heaven [08064].
