  === Life Sketch ===
  High Priest Jeshua ben Jehozadak ha-Kohen was living 0520 B.C. He returned to Jerusalem from captivity in Babylon 0538 B.C.. Ezra 2:1 "Now these are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;" 2:2 "Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua ..." He and Jehozadak ben Seraiah ha-Kohen were taken into captivity in Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. Chron. 6:15 "And Jehozadak went into captivity, when the LORD carried away Judah and Jerusalem by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar." He was born. Ezra 10:18 "... Jeshua the son of Jozadak." He was high priest of the Jews under Zerubbabel. He was amongst those that took wives while in captivity in Babylon. Ezra 10:18 "And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah." 10:19 "And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass." High Priest. He was the son of Jehozadak ben Seraiah ha-Kohen. He and Zerubbabel ha-David rebuilt an altar to God on returning to Jerusalem. Ezra 3:1 "And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem." 3:2 "Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God."
  
  Joshua (Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁוּעַ‎ Yəhōšua‘) or Yeshua 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 and Ezra 3 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 Book of Haggai and the Book of Zechariah.
  
  Joshua 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 at age 25–50 (per Numbers 8) rather than 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 seen by Zechariah. If the vision relates to Nehemiah's cleansing of the temple in 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.
  
  In the Book of Zechariah 3:6–10, Zechariah the prophet experiences a vision given to him by an angel of the Lord in which the restoration and cleansing of Joshua's priestly duties are affirmed. Included in the visions were requirements in which Joshua was expected to uphold. These included:
  (1) walk in the ways of God,
  (2) keeping the requirements (the law),
  (3) ruling God's house,
  (4) take charge of my courts;
  by fulfilling these duties, the angel in the Book of Zachariah granted access to the inner temple to Joshua and his fellow priest. The vision also functioned to purify Joshua and to sanctify him for the preparations of his priestly duties.
  
  Alternatively, if Joshua had in fact died before the events of Nehemiah 13, then it is possible that the vision intended to depict a heavenly throneroom scene of Satan and the angel disputing over the soul of Joshua, and the intended target of the allegory is the then serving high priest, his grandson, Eliashib.
  
  In 1825, the traditional tomb of Joshua was reported to have been found at "one hour's distance from Baghdad.
