   • Ezra 3:9, with translation of the Jewish Publication Society:

     ‏וַיַּעֲמֹד יֵשׁוּעַ בָּנָיו וְאֶחָיו קַדְמִיאֵל וּבָנָיו בְּנֵי־יְהוּדָה כְּאֶחָד לְנַצֵּחַ עַל־עֹשֵׂה הַמְּלָאכָה בְּבֵית הָאֱלֹהִים בְּנֵי חֵנָדָד בְּנֵיהֶם וַאֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם׃‎‎

     wayyaʿămōḏ yēšū́aʿ bānāw wəʾeḥāw qaḏmīʾēl ūḇānāw bənē-yəhūḏā kəʾeḥāḏ lənaṣṣḗaḥ ʿal-ʿōśē hamməlāḵā bəḇēṯ hāʾĕlōhīm bənē ḥēnāḏāḏ bənēhem waʾăḥēhem haləwiyyīm.

     Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, and Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God; the sons of Henadad also, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

2. (modern Christian liturgical Hebrew) Jesus.
