tanach - Changing someone else's name


In parshas Shlach Moshe changes Yehoshua's name.



  1. Does this mean his name really changed? IE was he called up to the torah as Yehoshua? Were his kids "ben Yehoshua"?

  2. Are there any other examples in tanach of a person (human) changing someone else's name (not giving them a nickname) permanently?
