Aaron took Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, as his wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Verse Takeaways

1

Commentators highlight that Aaron's marriage was highly significant. By marrying Elisheba, the sister of Nahshon, a 'prince of Judah,' Aaron united the emerging priestly line (Levi) with the future royal line (Judah). This connects the priesthood to the lineage of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ.
