What Does 1 Chronicles 7:27 Mean?
The genealogy arrives at its summit: Jehoshuah, the man known as Joshua, son of Nun. He was Moses's successor, the leader who brought Israel across the Jordan into the promised land. The long line of Ephraim has been climbing toward him all along.
Joshua's very name means 'the LORD is salvation,' the Hebrew form of the name later given to Jesus. The deliverer who led Israel into their inheritance foreshadows the greater Savior who leads His people into the rest of God. In this single name the whole genealogy lifts its eyes toward Christ.
