There is no real information in The Bible about Nun, the father of Joshua. However, some believe that the name Nun may be derived from older stories from Israel's neighbours. In Egyptian belief, Nun was the primordal god and father of the sun god, Ra. The biblical account points to Joshua, son of Nun, as originally a Hebrew sun god, who evolved in legend into a mortal. The clearest evidence is where Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand still until the battle was finished (Joshua 10:12).
