Nun was the father of Joshua, who became one of the most important leaders of the Israelite people. Nun belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, one of the twelve family groups of Israel. His father was Elishama. Joshua, Nun's son, led the Israelites into the promised land after Moses died (Exodus 33:11; Numbers 11:28; Deuteronomy 1:38; Joshua 1:1; Judges 2:8).
