He was of a middling stature, had large eyes, a light-brown complexion, and a broad chest. He was brave, warlike, and well acquainted with all the stratagems of war and fighting. He followed the religion of Mûsa, and acted in conformity with the Mosaic Law. One of his miracles was the division of the waters of the Ardan [Jordan], when the children of Esrâil crossed it; another was that of the sun, as has been narrated above, but others are also recorded. The Jews and Christians allege that he lived one hundred and ten years,* and that the duration of his mission was ten years. Tha’alebi has related in the A’râis that his mission lasted twenty-seven, and his whole life one hundred and twenty-six years. It is related in the Muntazim that Yoshua’ was forty-two years of age when Mûsa departed this life, and that he governed during twenty-seven years; accordingly his whole life must have amounted to one hundred and twenty-seven years.* His tomb is in the vicinity of those of his renowned ancestors, Ebrâhim and Yusuf (u. w. b., etc.).
