and the leader
The term "leader" in this context refers to a person of authority and responsibility within the tribe. In Hebrew, the word used is "נָשִׂיא" (nasi), which denotes a prince or chief. This title indicates a position of significant influence and governance, suggesting that Elishama was entrusted with guiding and making decisions for his people. The role of a leader in the Israelite camp was crucial, as it involved not only administrative duties but also spiritual oversight, ensuring that the tribe remained faithful to God's commandments.

of the tribe
The word "tribe" refers to one of the twelve divisions of the Israelites, each descending from one of the sons of Jacob. The Hebrew term "מַטֶּה" (matteh) can mean both "tribe" and "staff," symbolizing authority and unity. Each tribe had its own unique identity and role within the nation of Israel, contributing to the collective mission of God's chosen people. The tribes were organized in a specific order during their wilderness journey, reflecting God's divine plan and order.

of the Ephraimites
Ephraim was one of the two sons of Joseph, and the tribe of Ephraim held a prominent position among the tribes of Israel. The name "Ephraim" means "fruitful," reflecting the blessing Jacob bestowed upon Joseph's sons in Genesis 48:19. Historically, the tribe of Ephraim became one of the most powerful and influential tribes, often taking a leadership role in the northern kingdom of Israel. This prominence is rooted in the blessings and prophecies given to Joseph and his descendants.

was Elishama
Elishama, whose name means "God has heard," was a significant figure within the tribe of Ephraim. His name reflects a deep spiritual truth that God listens to the prayers and cries of His people. Elishama's leadership role signifies that he was a man of faith, chosen to guide his tribe during the critical period of the wilderness journey. His presence in the narrative underscores the importance of having leaders who are attuned to God's voice and direction.

son of Ammihud
The phrase "son of Ammihud" provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in the Israelite community. The name "Ammihud" means "my kinsman is majesty," suggesting a noble or esteemed family background. This connection highlights the continuity of God's promises through generations, as leadership and blessings are passed down within families. It also serves as a reminder of the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where family lines play a crucial role in the unfolding of divine plans.
