Note

Nahshon was, according to the Book of Exodus, the son of Amminadab; descendant in the fifth generation of Judah, Brother-in-law of Aaron and an important figure in the Hebrew's Passage of the Red Sea, which according to the Jewish Midrash heinitiated by walking in head deep until the sea split. According to Num i. 7, he is at least 20 years old during the census in the Sinai, at the beginning of The Exodus. By the same account of The Exodus then, Nahshon did not survive the forty year sojourn in the wilderness to enter the PromisedLand. Nahshon was appointed by Moses, upon God's command, as prince of the Tribe of Judah, and though his tribe was fourth in the order of the Patriarchs, yet at the dedication of the Tabernacle he was the first to bring his dedicatory offering. Nahshon was, through Boaz, the ancestor of David. |
