12Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the LORD their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared the LORD.
13Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the LORD.
14The LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God,

Ezra 3:2 and 5:2 name “Jeshua the son of Jozadak” and give him no title; Haggai 1:1, 1:12 and 1:14 name “Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest”. In both editions the two books write the name and the father’s name otherwise (the Korean 예수아 and 여호수아, 요사닥 and 여호사닥; WEB Jeshua and Joshua, Jozadak and Jehozadak). Ezra 5:2 says that Zerubbabel and Jeshua rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem, and Haggai 1:14–15, that Zerubbabel, Joshua, and all the remnant of the people came and worked on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God, in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. The text does not say whether Jeshua and Joshua are one man. This collection relates no deed or date of the one book to the other, records two entries (person-jeshua-jozadak, person-joshua-jehozadak) and does not decide it.
