◄ 5126. Nun or Non ►
Strong's Lexicon Nun or Non: Nun or Non Original Word: נוּן Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Nuwn Pronunciation: noon Phonetic Spelling: (noon) Definition: Nun, Non Meaning: Nun is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is most notably recognized as the name of the father of Joshua, the successor of Moses. Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּן (nun), which means "to propagate" or "to increase." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of the name Nun is found in the New Testament as Ἰησοῦς τοῦ Ναυή (Iēsous tou Nauē), referring to Joshua son of Nun. This is seen in passages such as Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8, where Joshua is mentioned in the context of leading the Israelites into Canaan. The Greek entry corresponding to Nun is Strong's Greek Number 2424 (Ἰησοῦς), which is the Greek form of the Hebrew name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua or Joshua). Usage: The name Nun appears in the context of genealogical references and historical narratives, specifically in relation to his son, Joshua. It is used to identify Joshua's lineage and heritage. Context: • Nun is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, primarily known as the father of Joshua, who led the Israelites into the Promised Land after the death of Moses. Nun is mentioned in several passages, often in genealogical contexts, to establish Joshua's lineage. For example, in Exodus 33:11, it is stated, "The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent." This highlights the close relationship between Moses and Joshua, with Nun being a key identifier of Joshua's heritage. • Nun is also mentioned in Numbers 13:8, where Joshua is listed among the spies sent to explore Canaan: "from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun." This passage underscores the tribal affiliation of Nun and his son, linking them to the tribe of Ephraim, one of the prominent tribes of Israel. • The name Nun itself carries the connotation of perpetuation and increase, which is fitting given Joshua's role in leading the Israelites into a new era of growth and settlement in the Promised Land.
