Elisheba
Elisheba, also spelled Elisheva (/əˈlɪʃᵻbə/; <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />אֱלִישֶׁבַע ’Ělîšeḇa‘) in the Hebrew Bible was the wife of Aaron the ancestor of the Jewish high priests. [1]
According to later Jewish tradition, she is buried in the Tomb of the Matriarchs in Tiberias.[citation needed]
She is a daughter of Amminadab, and a sister of Nahshon, from the Tribe of Judah (Exodus 6:23). [2]<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Exodus 6:23 "And Aaron took him Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar." American Standard Version 1901
In Hebrew names, Eli means "my God" and Sheba means "oath", so Eli-sheba is oath of my God or "God is her oath"[3] ("Sheva" is also the cardinal number seven in Hebrew.) [4]
The English name 'Elizabeth' is derived from Elisheba.
