One of our Lord's ancestors, Mt 1:4; Lu 3:32; chief of the tribe of Judah in the desert, Nu 1:7; 2:3; 7:12; and brother-in-law of Aaron,
And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, as wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
And for those encamping eastward toward the sun-rising there shall be the standard of the camp of Judah according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab;
And he that presented his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.
