Elishama was a leader from the tribe of Ephraim during the Israelites' wilderness journey after the Exodus from Egypt. He was the son of Ammihud (Numbers 1:10) and grandfather of Joshua (1 Chronicles 7:26). Elishama was appointed as the leader of the Ephraimites and was responsible for organizing and leading the tribe in the census, encampment, and offerings (Numbers 1:10; 2.18; 7.48,53; 10.22). As a tribal leader, he played a significant role in the administrative and military organization of the Israelites during their time in the wilderness. The Bible does not provide any further details about Elishama's life or leadership.
