~~===Scholarly Consensus on Joshua===~~

This article by presenting as if it were fact the idea that a "conquest of Canaan" occurred, with Joshua in command of the Israelite forces, a little after 1200 BC. The scholarly consensus is that no such thing happened. So I am moving the fringe position here to the talk page and I'll make the article reflect the consensus position in the lead. Here's the bit I'm taking out: << after about 1200 BCE,Kitchen, Kenneth A. (2003), On the Reliability of the Old Testament (Grand Rapids, Michigan. William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company)(ISBN 0-8028-4960-1)>>. Alephb (talk) 05:24, 24 January 2017 (UTC) Nevermind. Wrong talk page.Alephb (talk) 05:46, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The name

Is there any source for the "Tiberian" transcription Yiśśāśḵār with a third <ś>? It's probably wrong: the lack of any vowel sign or shva with the second shin is an indication that that second shin is not to be pronounced; as a rule in Tiberian Hebrew letters that are not to be pronounced have no niqqud.Linguistatlunch (talk) 18:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
