His birth name, according to the book of Numbers, was Hosea, but it was changed by his predecessor Moses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He lived around the 12th century BC. <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josu%C3%A9_(personaje_b%C3%ADblico)\">Collaborated with Mois\u00e9s<\/a> and, at his death, he led the people of Israel.
