'
Yahweh is salvation', Yeshua, is the name used in the first century by the common people. As for the books deemed by the scribes as the "former prophets", which includes Joshua and judges, the book of Joshua is not a book of prophecy, but a book of taking the land given to Jacob and his fathers, as stated in Joshua 1.
The book of Joshua essentially consists of three parts:
The history of the conquest of the land (1–12).
The allotment of the land to the different tribes, with the appointment of cities of refuge, the provision for the Levites (13–22), and the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes.
The farewell addresses of Joshua, with an account of his death (23, 24).
The "latter prophets", actual prophets, consisted of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, plus 12 others, and not Joshua. And the words of Hosea 4:6, of the "latter prophets", is that "my people perish because of their lack of knowledge", possibly because the "scribes" made a lie out of the Law (Jeremiah 8:8).
As for your Hebrew, early Hebrew had no vowels. If you pronounce YHWH as Yahweh, then you have a problem pronouncing Yahweh is salvation, as Yehoshua, rather than Yahoshua. Either way, if you use the earliest bible script available, that is of the Dead Sea scrolls, it contains both Hebrew and Aramaic text. If you are using the Masoretic Text
, that was compiled around 600 A.D.
New American Standard Bible Jeremiah 8:8
“How can you say, ‘We are wise, And the Law of the LORD is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made
it into a lie.
