His name appears in various genealogical and narrative contexts within the Old Testament. Nun is a member of the tribe of Ephraim, one of the tribes of Israel, and his lineage is significant due to his son Joshua's pivotal role in leading the Israelites into the Promised Land.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br>Nun is mentioned in several passages throughout the Old Testament, often in relation to his son Joshua. The most notable references include:<br><br>· <b><a href="/exodus/33-11.htm">Exodus 33:11</a> :</b> "Thus 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."<br> <br>· <b><a href="/numbers/11-28.htm">Numbers 11:28</a> :</b> "Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, 'Moses, my lord, stop them!'"<br><br>· <b><a href="/numbers/13-8.htm">Numbers 13:8</a> :</b> "from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun."<br><br>· <b><a href="/deuteronomy/34-9.htm">Deuteronomy 34:9</a> :</b> "Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD had commanded Moses."<br><br>· <b><a href="/joshua/1.htm">Joshua 1:1</a> :</b> "After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant."<br><br><b>Genealogy and Tribal Affiliation:</b><br>Nun is identified as a member of the tribe of Ephraim, one of the two tribes descended from Joseph, the son of Jacob. This tribal affiliation is significant as it places Nun and his descendants within the broader narrative of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The tribe of Ephraim held a prominent position among the tribes of Israel, often associated with leadership and strength.<br><br><b>Role and Significance:</b><br>While Nun himself does not play a direct role in the biblical narrative, his significance is primarily derived from his son, Joshua. Joshua's leadership and faithfulness to God are central themes in the books of Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. As the father of Joshua, Nun is part of the lineage that God used to fulfill His promises to the Israelites.<br><br>Joshua, son of Nun, is renowned for his military leadership and spiritual dedication. He led the Israelites in the conquest of Canaan, demonstrating unwavering faith and obedience to God's commands. The legacy of Nun is thus intertwined with the accomplishments and faith of his son, who is celebrated as a model of godly leadership.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Context:</b><br>In the cultural and theological context of the Old Testament, lineage and tribal identity were crucial elements of personal and communal identity. Nun's mention in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family heritage and the transmission of faith and leadership through generations. The emphasis on Joshua as the "son of Nun" highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>Nun's legacy is preserved through the achievements of his son, Joshua, who played a critical role in the history of Israel. As a member of the tribe of Ephraim, Nun's place in the biblical narrative serves as a reminder of the importance of faithfulness and the fulfillment of God's promises through successive generations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Nun</span><p>same as Non<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Nun</span><p>(<i>fish</i> , or <i>posterity</i>), the father of the Jewish captain Joshua.
