Abishua

In the genealogical framework preserved in the Hebrew Bible and cited by the provided sources, Abishua appears as a descendant of Aaron via Eleazar and Phinehas. He is recorded as the son of Phinehas and grandson of Eleazar and is incorporated into later priestly genealogies (for example Ezra 7:1–5) that trace legitimate priestly descent from Aaron to post‑Exilic leaders such as Ezra. Extrabiblical tradition (e.g., Josephus, as cited in summary sources) presents him as succeeding his father in the high priesthood, situating him in the early period of Israelite cultic history.

No physical description is given in the supplied materials. All references to Abishua in the provided sources are genealogical and institutional rather than descriptive of appearance, dress, or iconography.

The sources do not ascribe supernatural powers to Abishua. Functionally, he is identified as a bearer of priestly office—an ancestor in the lineage of Aaron—implying association with the roles of the Israelite priesthood such as overseeing sacrificial rites, cultic administration, and transmission of priestly law. The provided texts do not record specific acts, miracles, or extraordinary behaviors attributed to him.
