Amminadab - According to the genealogies of Genesis, he was born of Ram (also known as Aram)[1] during the Israelite exile in Ancient Egypt. He was the father of Nahshon, chief of the tribe of Judah (Numbers 1:7; 2:3; 7:12, 17; 10:14). His daughter Elisheva was Aaron's wife (Exodus 6:23), making him Aaron's father-in-law.
Amminadab is one of the ancestors of Christ painted in the lunettes of the Sistine chapel.
