ELISHEBA ĭ lĭsh’ ə bə (אֱלִישֶׁ֧בַע, God is an oath). Daughter of Amminadab; sister of Nahshon; the wife of Aaron; mother of Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar (Exod 6:23). Since Nahshon was the leader of Judah (Num 1:7; 2:3), Elisheba was of that tribe. Her son Eleazar succeeded Aaron as chief priest (Num 20:25-28).
