Person in Scripture

Nun

Nun is known through the repeated identification of Joshua as his son. Exodus names him when describing Joshua remaining at the tent while Moses returns to the camp. Numbers lists his son among the men sent to explore Canaan, representing Ephraim, and says Moses gave him the name Joshua. These passages identify Nun's family connection; the service and journey they describe belong to his son.
