Abishua

Abishua (Hebrew: אֲבִישׁוּעַ ʾĂḇīšūaʿ, "my father is rescue") was an early High priest of Israel.

As such, he is the great-grandson of Aaron, the brother of Moses and first High Priest.

It is likely that Abishua was a contemporary of the Israelite judge Ehud and the Moabite king Eglon.

[1] According to Josephus and other extrabiblical sources, he succeeded his father as High Priest (Antiquities 5.11.5; 8.1.3).
