How do you pronounce 'Joses' from the Bible?
In the King James Version, this name appears in Matthew 13:55 as one of Jesus' half-brothers: James, Joses, Simon, and Judas.
The English language is a vile melting pot of all the other languages in the world [that many say is primarily composed of a Hebrew/German mix] that has pretty much butchered the pronunciation of any word you care to mention. And "Joses" is just another candidate.
As it appears in the KJV, one could easily just say "JO'-SEZ"... and pronounce it just as it's spelled.
Mongomery [MNT], William's [WNT], and Weymouth's [WEY] New Testaments and the Literal Bible [LIT] all translate it: "Joseph" -- pronounced "JO'-SEF."
The Literal Bible, however, carries with it the added possibilities of "Strong's Definitions" -- which offers the pronunciation: "EE-O-SACE'."
But most modern, friendly, laid-back English-speaking Americans would probably just list Jesus' [JEE'-ZUZ; JOSH'-U-AH; YE-SHU'-AH] half-brother's names as: "Jim [JIM], Joe [JO], Sim [SIM], and Jew [JU]."
So in keeping with the true spirit of the perverted origins of the English language... it appears that any way you want to say "Joses" will be pretty much the right way.
