What tribe was Joshua from?

score:6

Accepted answer

From the account of the spies entering Canaan, Joshua is identified as an Ephraimite (Tribe of Joseph, half-tribe of Ephraim):

from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun; - Numbers 13:8 ESV

and in case of any doubt that Hoshea son of Nun is one and the same as Joshua son of Nun:

And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes - Numbers 14:6 ESV

-- makes it clear that it's the same guy.
