Answer 3

Scripture

It is a Hebrew name first recorded in the Bible regarding Joshua, who served Moses on the Exodus from Egyptian captivity. He came back with Caleb in scouting out the land God had prepared for Israel, and they were the only 2 of 12 who said, faithfully, the land was conquerable.  The other 10 feared taking on the giants inhabiting the land.

Joshua's famous quote:  "Choose ye this day whom you will serve.  As for me an my house, we shall serve the Lord"
