Amminadab
Jewish badge
.
Amminadab (Hebrew: עַמִּינָדָב, ‘Ammīnāḏāḇ, "my people are noble") is a minor character referred to in the Book of Exodus. He is the father-in-law of High Priest Aaron, brother of Moses.
Amminadab is also mentioned in the
King David and therefore the ancestor of Jesus
.
The same name is mentioned in the
Israelite mentioned in the lineage of Jacob's sons, Exodus 6:14-28. Mathew 1:1-16 shows a full record of ancestors and descendants. He likely served in the tabernacle. He was one of 112 Levites who received the great honor of bringing the Ark of the Covenant, back to Jerusalem from the Philistines
.
History
According to the Biblical genealogies, he was a son of
father-in-law.[2]
Amminadab is one of the ancestors of Jesus painted in the lunettes of the
Jewish badge, the wearing of which was being rigorously enforced at the time. Depictions normally occur in a pejorative context, and seem to link this figure from the Jewish past to the Renaissance present. In this case, it appears to place Amminadab as permanently exiled from salvation.[3]
In popular culture
In the 1956 film Bithiah takes his fig tree seedling and assures him that it will be planted in the promised land.
