The name Amminadab is assigned three times in the Bible. Best known is Amminadab the father of Elisheba, the wife of Aaron. This Amminadab is the great-grandfather of Boaz (through his son Nahson, Elisheba's brother), and Boaz is the grandfather of Jesse, and Jesse is the father of David (1 Chr 2:10). Other Amminadabs are a Levite from the Kohath family (1 Chr 6:22), and a Levite from the Uzziel family (1 Chr 15:10). |

(nedaba 1299a), freewill offering; 
(nadib 1299b), noble;
