Nun his son
The name "Nun" in Hebrew is נוּן (Nun), which means "fish" or "posterity." This name is significant in the context of Israel's history, as Nun is the father of Joshua, one of the most prominent figures in the Old Testament. The mention of Nun here serves as a genealogical link, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations. Historically, the tribe of Ephraim, to which Nun belonged, played a crucial role in the leadership and spiritual direction of Israel. This lineage underscores the importance of family heritage and the transmission of faith from one generation to the next, a principle deeply valued in conservative Christian teachings.

Joshua his son
The name "Joshua" in Hebrew is יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshua), meaning "The LORD is salvation." Joshua is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for leading the Israelites into the Promised Land after Moses' death. His name itself is a prophetic declaration of his role in God's plan for Israel. Joshua's leadership is characterized by faithfulness, courage, and obedience to God's commands, serving as a model for Christian leadership. In a broader scriptural context, Joshua is seen as a type of Christ, prefiguring Jesus, whose name in Greek is also derived from "Yehoshua." This typology highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament, reinforcing the belief in Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise of salvation.

(27) Non.--Everywhere else Nun, the father of Joshua the servant and successor of Moses. 1Chronicles 7:25-27 trace his ancestry, as it would seem, through seven or eight generations to Rephah, son of Beriah or Ephraim. At 1Chronicles 6:1-3 only two names are given between Levi, uncle of Ephraim, and Moses, Joshua's elder contemporary. But abundant reason has already been shown for not interpreting these genealogies in a slavishly literal spirit, and without regard to their own contrary indications. It is obvious to common sense that when it is said that Moses was "son of Amram, son of Kohath, son of Levi," the meaning cannot be that only two generations intervened between the tribal patriarch and the age of Moses. Moreover, it is, to say the least, doubtful that the names in 1Chronicles 7:25 represent a lineal descent of individuals, and not a group of variously connected clans. "Telah" looks like a fragment of Shuthelah (1Chronicles 7:20); and perhaps the true reading of 1Chronicles 7:25 is, "And Rephah his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Tahan his son," we-Reshef, we-The-lah being a possible distortion of we-Shuthelah.

Verse 27. - Non. The same as Nun (Numbers 13:8, 16).
