Elisheba (/əˈlɪʃɪbə/; (original) Template:Langx) was the wife of Aaron, the older brother of Moses and the first High Priest of Israel. She was mentioned once in Exodus 6:23 in the Torah and the Old Testament.[1][2]

In the Torah

In the book of Exodus, she was said to be a daughter of Amminadab from the Tribe of Judah and a sister of Nahshon.[4] The Hebrew name Elisheva is composed of two parts: "Eli", from Elohim (Hebrew: Page Template:Script/styles hebrew.css has no content.אֱלֹהִים‎), one of the Hebrew words for God, and "sheva", which roughly translates to "oath".[5][6] Thus, the name Elisheva translated into English means "God is my oath"[7] or "my God is an oath".[8]

The Torah mentions that Elisheba and Aaron had four sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.[4] As per halakha, in order for a Jewish person to be legitimately recognized as one of the Kohanim (Template:Langx) and a member of the priestly lineage/bloodline, they must be a Levite of direct patrilineal descent from Eleazar and Ithamar, the two youngest sons of Aaron and Elisheba (i.e. be descendants of Aaron on both sides of the family).[9][10][11]

In the Christian Bible

In the first chapter of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament, a woman named Elisabet (Template:Langx) is said to have been a descendant of Aaron and the wife of Zechariah, who was also a Jewish priest.[12] Elisabet was a relative of Jesus' mother, Mary,[13] and was the mother of John the Baptist with Zechariah.[14]
