The Bible mentioned nothing about whether Joshua participated in the fasting or not. Exodus 34:28 however specifically mentioned that "he (Moses) was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments." By comparison, we can deduce that Joshua might not have fasted, otherwise the Bible could have included a comment/statement there.

On the other hand, it appears that 40-day fasting has been specifically mentioned in the Bible and those individuals who attempted it have been named clearly. We know Moses, Elijah and Jesus all fasted for 40 days and it has been accurately documented in the Bible. It seems to us that if Joshua had fasted 40 days, the Bible would have indicated the same clearly.

Therefore, we can safely say that Joshua did not fast 40 days with Moses.

When did Joshua fast for 40 days?

Joshua fasted for 40 days when he went up to Mount Sinai to receive the tablets of the Law from God, similar to Moses' experience. This event is not explicitly detailed in the biblical text concerning Joshua, but it is implied that he was present during Moses' 40-day fast. The specific mention of a 40-day fast associated with Joshua is not found in the scriptures, and most references to 40-day fasts in the Bible are related to Moses and Jesus.


Was Joshua the son of Moses?

They were from different tribes. Moses was a Levite; Joshua an Ephraimite.According to Josephus, Joshua was 35 years younger; but due to Joshua's zeal for Jehovah, the two men drew close, despite their age difference. (Somewhat like David and Jonathan.)Joshua was Moses' attendant. When Moses went into Mount Sinai, Joshua stayed up there (perhaps part way up) also for 40 days. Joshua also got to see the 'glory of the God of Israel'.Joshua was one of two faithful spies for Moses among the 12 who spied out the Promised Land for 40 days.Joshua was also an army general for Moses (Ex 17:9).He was also one of the 70 older men chosen by Moses to represent Moses in judicial problems among the people.It was Moses who 'placed his hand on Joshua' and appointed him to be his successor.
