Joshua (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yĕhôshúa‘; Greek: Ἰησοῦς, Arabic: يوشع بن نون Yūshaʿ ibn Nūn), is a figure in the Torah, being one of the spies for Israel (Num 13-14) and in few passages as Moses's assistant. He is the central character in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Joshua. According to the books Exodus, Numbers and Joshua, he became the leader of the Israelite tribes after the death of Moses; his name was Hoshe'a the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, but Moses called him Yehoshu'a (Joshua) (Numbers 13:16) the name by which he is commonly known; and he was born in Egypt prior to the Exodus, and was probably the same age as Caleb, with whom he is occasionally associated.
He was one of the twelve spies of Israel sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. (Numbers 13:1-16) After the death of Moses, he led the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan, and allocated the land to the tribes. According to Biblical chronology, Joshua lived between 1500–1390 BCE, or sometime in the late Bronze Age. According to Joshua 24:29, Joshua died at the age of 110.
In contract law, a mistake is an erroneous belief, at contracting, that certain facts are true. It can be argued as a defence, and if raised successfully can lead to the agreement in question being found void ab initio or voidable, or alternatively an equitable remedy may be provided by the courts. Common law has identified three different types of mistake in contract: the 'unilateral mistake', the 'mutual mistake' and the 'common mistake'. It is important to note the distinction between the 'common mistake' and the 'mutual mistake'.
A unilateral mistake is where only one party to a contract is mistaken as to the terms or subject-matter contained in a contract. This kind of mistake is more common than other types of mistake. One must first distinguish between mechanical calculations and business error when looking at unilateral mistake. For mechanical calculations, a party may be able to set aside the contract on these grounds provided that the other party does not try to take advantage of the mistake, or 'snatch up' the offer (involving a bargain that one did not intend to make, betrayed by an error in arithmetic etc.). This will be seen by an objective standard, or if a reasonable person would be able to know that the mistake would not make sense to one of the parties. Unless one of the parties 'snatched up' the one-sided offer, courts will otherwise uphold the contract.
Don’t know where you are
I’ve traveled so far
I just want you to see
What you once saw in me
I know it’s been long
In this time I’ve grown strong
I just want you to see
What you once saw in me
Will it ever happen?
It’s in your face and it’s all around
If it were up to me
I would turn my world upside down
It’s a common mistake
That everyone makes
You’re trying to figure out why you ever left this place
It’s a common mistake
That everyone makes
Well who would have known?
That in this place
You’re still trying to figure out why you left alone
This time I’m going after
Everything that I’ve ever wanted
This time I’ll show you what I can become
This time I’m going after
Everything that I’ve ever wanted
This time I’ll show you what I can become
Things aren’t so bad
They’re just harder until they get better
Things aren’t so sad
They’re just lighter then heavier
Things aren’t so bad
They’re just harder until they get better
Things aren’t so sad
They’re just lighter then heavier than ever
It’s a common mistake
That everyone makes
You’re trying to figure out why you ever left this place
-no, no-
It’s a common mistake

This time I’m going after
Everything that I’ve ever wanted
This time I’ll show you what I can become
-and when I’m done-
This time I’m going after
Everything that I’ve ever wanted
