<P> Qimron describes the general linguistic environment of Hebrew dialects by the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls . The articulation of the / h / (along with other guttural phonemes / ʔ /, / ħ /, and / ʕ /, as well as approximants / j / and / w /) weakened significantly . Thus Hebrew pronunciations became less stable when two successive vowels were no longer separated by a consonant / h / . The speakers optionally either reduced the two vowels to a single vowel or oppositely expanded them to emphasize each vowel separately, sometimes forming a furtive glide in between, (w) or (j). For example, the Dead Sea Scrolls spell the Hebrew word ראוי / rɔˈʔui̯ / (' seen') variously, recording both pronunciations: reduced ראו (ro) and expanded ראואי (rɔˈuwi). </P> <P> The Hebrew name' Yehoshua' generally reduced to' Yeshua', but an expanded' Yehoshua' is possible, especially in Galilee whose traditional orthography possibly reflects this . </P> <P> The English name Jesus derives from the Late Latin name Iesus, which transliterates the Koine Greek name Ἰησοῦς Iēsoûs . </P> <P> In the Septuagint and other Greek - language Jewish texts, such as the writings of Josephus and Philo of Alexandria, Ἰησοῦς Iēsoûs is the standard Koine Greek form used to translate both of the Hebrew names: Yehoshua and Yeshua . Greek Ἰησοῦς or Iēsoûs is also used to represent the name of Joshua son of Nun in the New Testament passages Acts 7: 45 and Hebrews 4: 8 . (It was even used in the Septuagint to translate the name Hoshea in one of the three verses where this referred to Joshua the son of Nun--Deut. 32: 44 .) </P>
