Aaron's wife, Elisheba, was a daughter of Amminadab (Exodus 6:23), while one of the sons, namely, Nahshon, occupied an important position in the Judah-clan (Numbers 1:7; Numbers 2:3; Numbers 7:12; Numbers 10:14).
He was the son of Uzziel, and therefore a nephew of Amminadab, son of Kohath (= Izhar).
