Elishama

Elishama in the Bible is the Numbers tribal leader from Ephraim, identified as the son of Ammihud and named in at least five verses in Numbers. Numbers 2:18 calls him leader of Ephraim’s sons, with their camp’s standard on the west. On the seventh day, he presented an offering (Numbers 7:48); the passage lists two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five year-old male lambs for peace offerings (Numbers 7:53). When Ephraim’s camp set out according to its armies, Elishama was over his army (Numbers 10:22).
