One big reason may have been the fact that Aaron was the older brother,

and was already dead by the time Moses was ready for succession.

A better question might be: Why Joshua and not either one of Moses' sons ?

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.
