Abishua — a name borne by a descendant of Aaron and a Benjaminite, meaning 'my father is rescue'
Avishua is a proper name appearing five times in the Hebrew Bible, meaning 'my father is rescue' or possibly 'my father is opulence.' It designates two individuals: a grandson of Phinehas in the Aaronic priestly line (1 Chr 6:4-5, 50; Ezra 7:5), and a Benjaminite son of Bela (1 Chr 8:4). The priestly genealogy is the primary context, tracing the high-priestly succession from Aaron through Eleazar, Phinehas, and Abishua. The French and German glosses preserve the Hebrew form untranslated, while English and Spanish transliterate it directly.

1. sense 1 — The proper name Avishua, applied to two Old Testament figures: primarily the son of Phinehas and great-grandson of Aaron in the high-priestly lineage (1 Chr 6:4-5, 50; Ezra 7:5), and also a Benjaminite son of Bela (1 Chr 8:4). The name combines av ('father') with shua ('rescue, wealth'). The Septuagint renders it Abessouai, and all five occurrences appear in genealogical registers, whether priestly or tribal. 5×
