No, Moses and Joshua were not cousins. Joshua was Moses " General" when he was fighting in the army. Joshua fought and overcame the battle with a sword. Furthermore, Joshua was of the half-tribe of Ephraim while Moses was of the tribe of Levi.
AnswerThere are so many parallels between the story of Moses and that of Joshua, that some say that the Joshua narrative is almost a retelling of the Moses story. Joshua 3:7, "And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee."Two example of these parallels:Just as Moses parted the Red Sea, so Joshua parted the Jordan River. Just as Moses sent two spies, Joshua and Caleb, to the Promised Land, so Joshua sent two spies to Jericho. There is strong evidence that Joshua was originally a sun-god, before being depicted as a founder of Israel. Some say, from analysing the biblical evidence, that Moses was also originally a sun-god for the very early Hebrew people.
The fifth book of Moses called Deuteronomy is before Joshua.
Joshua was a spy for Israel. He was an assistant to Moses. After the death of Moses, Joshua became the leader of the Israelites.Answer:Joshua had been Moses' right-hand man since his youth (Numbers 11:28), and his chief disciple, who was constantly found in the tent of Torah where Moses taught (Exodus 33:11), so as not to ever miss a single word of Moses' teaching. He could be trusted to reach correct decisions (Numbers ch.13-14); and was successful in battle too (Exodus ch.17). As Moses approached the time when he would have to hand over the helm of leadership, Joshua turned out to be the best choice to carry on, and God named him as Moses' successor (Numbers ch.27).
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.

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.
