Yehoshua
Unique Traits
Faith in Hashem
Yehoshua exhibits consistent faith in Hashem. This is perhaps most evident in the fact that he is one of the few in his generation not to participate in two of the nation's biggest debacles in the Wilderness, the Sin of the Golden Calf and the Sin of the Spies.
- Sin of the Golden Calf –
- Story of the Spies – Both Yehoshua and Calev disassociate themselves from the negative report of the other spies, but perhaps surprisingly it is Calev, rather than Yehoshua, who appears to take the lead role. Thus, it is he who initially stands up to hush the people when they complain.
