[1] Hebrew חשון
Naḥshon. Sometimes known as Nachshon.
[2] Incorrect: tt was Aaron who married Nachshon's sister, Elisheba (
Exodus 6:23). But see note 3.
[3] Aaron was the founder of the line of priests, while
David (descendant of Nachshon) was the founder of the line of kings of Israel. Probably the lexicographer had in mind the genealogies of Jesus in
Matthew 1 and
Luke 3; and wanted to show that Jesus' lineage ran along both lines,
David's and Aaron's. In the biblical account, Jesus is not a direct descendant of Aaron but only of
David. In the Suda's he becomes a direct descendant of both.
