Joshua son of Nun, formerly Hoshea bin Nun, was Moses’s deputy from the time of the Exodus, one of the 12 tribal leaders tasked with scouting out the promised land, Moses’s eventual successor, and possibly the recorder of the last verses of the Torah. Upon Moses’s death, Joshua assumed the mantle of leadership and brought the people into the land, and the book of Joshua recounts much of the land with God's help. Joshua and Caleb ben Yefuneh were the only two people of the generation of the Exodus to gain entry to the promised land.
