He is recognized as a leader of the tribe of Judah during the Israelites' wilderness journey following the Exodus from Egypt. Naasson is noted for his role in the lineage of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ, as outlined in the genealogical records of the New Testament.<br><br><b>Genealogy and Family Lineage</b><br><br>Naasson is the son of Amminadab and the father of Salmon. His lineage is detailed in several passages, emphasizing his place in the ancestry of significant biblical figures. In the Book of Ruth, Naasson is mentioned in the genealogy of David: "Nahshon was the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz" (<a href="/ruth/4-20.htm">Ruth 4:20-21</a>). This lineage is reiterated in the New Testament, where Naasson is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ: "Nahshon the father of Salmon" (<a href="/matthew/1-4.htm">Matthew 1:4</a>).<br><br><b>Role in the Wilderness Journey</b><br><br>Naasson held a prominent position as the leader of the tribe of Judah during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. His leadership is highlighted in the Book of Numbers, where he is appointed as the head of the tribe: "On the east side, toward the sunrise, the divisions of the camp of Judah are to encamp under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab as the leader of the sons of Judah" (<a href="/numbers/2-3.htm">Numbers 2:3</a>). This position underscores his importance among the tribes of Israel and his role in organizing and leading his people.<br><br><b>Participation in Offerings</b><br><br>Naasson is also noted for his participation in the offerings made by the leaders of Israel at the dedication of the altar. In <a href="/bsb/numbers/7.htm">Numbers 7</a>, each leader of the tribes of Israel brought offerings, and Naasson is mentioned as the one who presented the offering on behalf of the tribe of Judah: "On the second day Nethanel son of Zuar, the leader of Issachar, brought his offering. His offering was one silver dish weighing 130 shekels, one silver basin weighing 70 shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering" (<a href="/numbers/7-12.htm">Numbers 7:12-13</a>). This act of offering signifies his devotion and the tribe's commitment to the worship and service of God.<br><br><b>Legacy and Significance</b><br><br>Naasson's legacy is primarily tied to his role in the genealogical line leading to King David and Jesus Christ. His inclusion in these genealogies highlights the fulfillment of God's promises to the tribe of Judah and the messianic line. As a leader during a formative period in Israel's history, Naasson's contributions to the spiritual and organizational life of the Israelites are remembered as part of the broader narrative of God's covenantal faithfulness to His people.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Naasson</span><p>(<i>enchanter</i>), the Greek form of the name <a href="../n/nahshon.htm">NAHSHON, OR NAASHON</a>.
