Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise: your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's children shall bow down before you.

Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over its host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

And Ram begat Amminidab; and Amminidab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;

Who was the son of Amminadab, who was the son of Ram, who was the son of Hezron, who was the son of Perez, who was the son of Judah,
