JOSHUA (Jesus), SON OF SETH
- JOSHUA (Jesus), SON OF SETH
- JOSHUA (Jesus), SON OF SETH, high
priest during the reign of Archelaus (4 B.C.E.–6
C.E.), Herod's son. Joshua, preceded by Eleazar the son
of Boethus, was the second high priest to be appointed by Archelaus, but
nothing further is known of him (Jos., Ant., 17:341). His father's (or
family's) name (Σεέ) is reminiscent of that of a subsequent high priest,
Ananus, the son of Seth (Σεθ, Σεθι; ibid., 18:26), and it is
possible that both were of the same family.
