from Judah,
Judah is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. The tribe of Judah holds significant importance in biblical history as it is the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. Judah's territory was located in the southern part of Israel, encompassing Jerusalem. The tribe is often associated with leadership and kingship, as prophesied in Genesis 49:10, where the scepter is said not to depart from Judah.

Nahshon
Nahshon is a prominent figure in the lineage of Judah. He is recognized as a leader during the wilderness period and is mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 1:4, Luke 3:32). Nahshon played a significant role as the head of the tribe of Judah during the census in the wilderness and was known for his leadership qualities. Jewish tradition holds Nahshon in high regard, often associating him with acts of faith, such as being the first to enter the Red Sea before it parted.

son of Amminadab;
Amminadab is noted as the father of Nahshon and is part of the genealogical line leading to King David and Jesus Christ. The name Amminadab means "my kinsman is noble," reflecting the noble lineage from which Nahshon descends. This connection emphasizes the continuity of God's promise to Abraham regarding his descendants and the eventual coming of the Messiah through this line. The genealogical records in the Bible serve to authenticate the fulfillment of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines.
