Aaron took as wife Elisheba, daughter of Amminadav the sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadav and Avihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
6:23
The Talmud states, Baba Basra 110a
Rava says: One who marries a woman needs to first examine her brothers so that he will know in advance what character his children will have, as it is stated: “And Aaron took Elisheva, the daughter of Amminadav, the sister of Nahshon” (Exodus 6:23). By inference from that which is stated: “The daughter of Amminadav,” do I not know that she is the sister of Nahshon, as Nahshon was the son of Amminadav? What is the meaning when the verse states: “The sister of Nahshon”? From here one learns that one who marries a woman needs to examine her brothers. The reason is as the Sages taught: Most sons resemble the mother’s brothers.
Question: Where do we see, that Aaron’s sons resembled Nachshon?
