Joshua (Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁוּעַ) or Yeshua (Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ) the High Priest was, according to the Bible, the first person chosen to be the High Priest for the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple after the return of the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity (See Zechariah 6:9-14 in the Bible). While the name Yeshua is used in Ezra–Nehemiah for the High Priest, he is called Joshua son of Yehozadak in the books of Haggai and Zechariah.
Yeshua son of Jozadak served as High Priest ca.515-490 BCE in the common List of High Priests of Israel. This dating is based on the period of service age 25-50 (per Book of Numbers 8) not age 30-50 (per Numbers 4).
The biblical text credits Joshua among the leaders that inspired a momentum towards the reconstruction of the temple, in Ezra 5:2. Later 10:18 some of his sons and nephews are found guilty of intermarriage.
Facts concerning the later part of Joshua's life are in part dependent upon whether Joshua was still alive at the time of his appearance in a vision by Zechariah. If the vision relates to Nehemiah's cleansing of the temple in Neh.13:28 then the engagement of Joshua's great-great-grandson to the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite would place Joshua in his late 90s if he were still alive.
The term "high priest" (or, less frequently, high priestess) usually refers either to an individual who holds the office of ruler-priest, or to one who is the head of a religious caste.
In ancient Egypt, a high priest was the chief priest of any of the many gods revered by the Egyptians.
The priesthood in ancient Israel had a high priest who served in the Tabernacle then in the First Temple and Second Temple in Jerusalem.
A high priest is a term often used to describe the leading figure in various religious organizations, particularly in antiquity.
High priest may also refer to:
Antipop Consortium is an American alternative hip hop group. The group formed in 1997, when Beans, High Priest, M. Sayyid, and producer Earl Blaize met at a poetry slam in New York City. They are notable for their stream-of-consciousness lyrics and musical references to contemporary composition methods.
The group released several tape singles and two albums primarily on Dan the Automator's experimental hip-hop label 75 Ark before being signed by Warp Records in 2000. Their releases were met with mixed reviews from the mainstream music and underground hip-hop press alike, although they are noted for their inventiveness and the experimental electronic productions contributed by all members. They were frequently compared to other rappers with unorthodox lyrics, such as Kool Keith, MF Doom and Aesop Rock. In 2001, they opened for Radiohead during the European leg of their Amnesiac tour and subsequently toured with DJ Shadow.
The group disbanded due to creative differences in August 2002, with Beans pursuing a solo career while High Priest and M. Sayyid formed Airborn Audio, which released a single album, Good Fortune, on Ninja Tune in 2005, and toured with The Faint and Bright Eyes. All three members have pursued solo projects since the group's breakup.
Thelonious Monk Trio is an album by American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. It was originally released in 1954 as Monk's first proper studio album and has been re-released numerous times, occasionally under the title Monk's Moods and with different track orders.
The album features his earliest recordings for the Prestige label performed with Gary Mapp [originally listed as "Gerry Mapp"] and Art Blakey or Max Roach, and one track with Percy Heath replacing Mapp. The album contains the earliest recorded versions of the jazz standards "Blue Monk" and "Bemsha Swing".
Thelonious Monk Trio follows the release of Monk's two Genius of Modern Music compilations—the first volume in 1951 and the second volume in 1952— and is his first proper studio album. It has been re-released numerous times on different formats usually with its original title, although occasionally as Monk's Moods. On some of its re-releases it has had a track listing order different from the original, which opens with "Little Rootie Tootie". Thelonious Monk Trio features the first recorded performances of "Blue Monk" and "Bemsha Swing".
Joseph Francis Girzone (May 15, 1930 – November 29, 2015), sometimes known as the "Joshua Priest", was an American Catholic priest and writer, most notably as the author of the Joshua series of novels.
Girzone was born in Albany, New York, to Peter, a butcher, and Margaret Girzone, the oldest of their twelve children. It was a struggling family, which experienced the shame of eviction during his childhood.<ref name=TU2 /
Girzone entered the Carmelite Order as a young man and was ordained as a priest in 1955. A few years later he chose to leave the order in favor of life as a secular priest and was accepted by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany. He then served at various parishes of the diocese, in the course of which he became active in advocating for the elderly. He was a driving force in the formation of the Office for the Aging of Montgomery County.<ref name=TU /
In 1981, however, Girzone was diagnosed with a heart condition which was judged to be fatal, leading him to retire from active ministry.<ref name=girzone-site / He accepted the forfeiture of any pension or medical benefits from the diocese as part of an agreement for his early retirement.<ref name=NCR /
Joshua is a Biblical given name derived from the Hebrew Yehoshua (יהושע). The name was a common alternative form of the name יֵשׁוּעַ – yēšūă which corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus.
As a result of the origin of the name, a majority of people before the 17th century who have this name are Jewish. A variant, truncated form of the name, Josh, gained popularity in the United States in the 1970s.
Information from the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics from 2003 to 2007 shows "Joshua" among the top-five given names for newborn males. In Scotland, the popularity of "Joshua" has been substantially lower than in the rest of the United Kingdom, appearing at rank 35 in 2000 and rising to rank 22 in 2006.
Following is a short annotated list of persons, real and fictional, sharing "Joshua" or "Josh" or very rarely "Yehoshua" as a given name, representative of the breadth in geography and time of the names' use.
When the Israelites returned from their captivity in Babylon, they found their temple destroyed. They turned to Joshua, for reconstructing their temple which he did slowly and successfully. Later he was appointed as the first high priest by Prophet Zechariah.

Satan accuses Joshua the high priest, which leads to God replacing Joshua's filthy garments with pure white; we are then told of the two olive trees and golden candlestick in chapter 4.
"Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by." Thank you for joining us today! Please feel free to leave...

Title: Joshua, the High Priest Preached by Joe Chastain Preached on December 4, 2022 https://www.faithfellowshipsedalia.org https://www.facebook.com/faithfellowshipsedalia Text: Zechariah 3.1-7 "Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right to accuse him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a log snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and was standing before the angel. And he responded and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your guilt away from you and will clothe you with festive robes.” Then I said, “Have them p...

There's commotion in my brain, strange is the notion
Words cannot explain my range of emotion
I'm speechless, my flaws exposed and my weakness
Each breath draws me closer to a deep test
It's month number seven, it's been ten days
I've been awake all night reflecting on my ways
A threat to my peace in this greatest of moments
Because I'm the High Priest and it's the Day of Atonement
The LORD is so holy and perfect, I'm nervous
I'm floored that He chose me to worship through service
Don't ask me why the God who crafted the sky
Drafted this weak guy from the clan of Levi
Preceding generation taught me to read the regulations
Deep meditation on decreed revelation
Extreme trepidation breeds hesitation
Yet I must lead and be the representation
My occupation- to intercede for the nation
But indeed my own sins need expiation
The wrath of Jehovah's grim, sin is no joke to Him
The hope is slim for unholy men coming close to Him
He's spoken in His Word the proper way of approach to Him
Nadab and Abihu got it wrong and He roasted them
These things I weigh as I sigh
This could either be the greatest day of my life or the day that I die!
So you say that you wanna know the LORD?
Do you really wanna stand before the LORD?
Do you know what it takes to meet the LORD?
God is an all-consuming fire
So you say that you wanna know the LORD
Do you really wanna stand before the LORD?
Do you know what it takes to meet the LORD?
Be careful what you desire
For now, no time to focus on my sinning
I bathe in the laver though it seems extreme
I put on the holy coat made of white linen
Craving His favor- I'm ceremonially clean
I check to inspect- no tangible faltering
Next I must collect the animals for the offering
A spotless ram and a bull- the components
God gives to make atonement for my own sins
This part of the ritual makes me real cautious
Because the very sight of blood makes me feel nauseous
Still I proceed by snatching him close, slashing his throat
When his blood splashed on my coat
Reacting, I choke- gasping that's when I'm grasping
God's reaction that sin provokes
I take a moment to reflect on the blood spilled in this
Staring at the goat to be sent into the wilderness
I'll confess Israel's sins with my hands on his head
Symbolizing guilt transferred instead
To a substitute the living God provided and stamped
Guilty of our sin, driven outside the camp
This beautiful picture of hope and grace motivates
And I don't want my fear to make this dope occasion go to waste
Change my outer garments, slow my pace- yo I brace
Myself to stand before Jehovah's face in the Holy Place
So you say that you wanna know the LORD?
Do you really wanna stand before the LORD?
Do you know what it takes to meet the LORD?
God is an all-consuming fire
So you say that you wanna know the LORD
Do you really wanna stand before the LORD?
Do you know what it takes to meet the LORD?
Be careful what you desire
The time has come, the great moment has arrived
About to enter in- what a lonely enterprise
Look at the other priests, they speak only with their eyes
Rope tied around my ankle just in case I don't survive
I enter through the first curtain to a dark room
I'm standing in the Holy Place, my thoughts consumed
I'm caught off guard, I'm unraveling at this stage
My heartbeat so hard it's rattling my ribcage
Feeling like I'm disintegrating and I can't stand
Comforted by the light emanating from the lampstand
This helps my vision- I can see the showbread
I think of God's provision, that helps me go ahead
I need courage to worship! Man, this is intense
I take burning coals off the altar for the incense
The sweet aroma fills the room
The smoke protects my eyes- one sight of Jehovah seals my doom
It's no mere coincidence I'm here surrendering
With fear and trembling I'm nearly entering
I feel like running scared, hoping I'm not unprepared
Stunned with fear- no one comes in here but once a year
Nevertheless I'm at the point of no return
Besides, I don't want my anointing to be spurned
After counting to three, next time I inhale
I'm in the Holy of Holies beyond the veil!
The first thing I realize is I'm thrilled that I've
Entered into God's presence and yet I'm still alive
I'm awestruck by the weight of His terrible beauty
It's almost unbearable but I must fulfill my duty
Approach the ark, the first part of my work's complete
When I sprinkle blood seven times on the mercy seat
Quickly I exit, impressed with the Hesed
