“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” (Philippians 2:9–10)

The proper Hebrew name for Jesus is Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ), which means salvation. This is a shortened form of the Hebrew name Yehoshua (יהושוע), which is Joshua in English and means the Lord saves, the Lord is salvation or the Lord will save.

Around the time of Yeshua, this shortened form of Yehoshua, was common and popular around Jerusalem, as seen on many ossuaries from that time period.

In the Tanakh (Jewish Bible), the names Yeshua and Yehoshua are mentioned almost 30 times and are given to five different men. They are frequently translated interchangeably as Joshua; for example, in Ezra 3:2, there is a reference to Joshua / Yeshua (יֵשׁ֨וּעַ) son of (בֶּן־) Jozadak (יֽוֹצָדָ֜ק), one of the priests in the time of Zerubbabel after the return from the exile in Babylon.

Shalom Shalom !
