Amminadab (Hebrew: עַמִּינָדָב, ‘Ammīnāḏāḇ, "my people are noble") is a minor character referred to in the Book of Exodus.
This Amminadab was an Israelite mentioned in the lineage of Jacob's sons, Exodus 6:14-28.
He was one of 112 Levite descendants of Uzziel who received the great honor of bringing the Ark of the Covenant, back to Jerusalem from the Philistines.
Depictions normally occur in a pejorative context, and seem to link this figure from the Jewish past to the Renaissance present.
During the Exodus, he is too old and frail to travel, so Bithiah takes his fig tree seedling and assures him that it will be planted in the Promised Land.
