Operation Nachshon (named after this biblical figure Nachshon ben Aminadav)
•
This letter, the numerical value of which is six, indicates that Nahshon was the ancestor of six men — David, the Messiah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah — each of whom was distinguished for six praiseworthy qualities.
The battalion motto is "Be first, Nahshon", and it is named after the Prince of Judah Nahshon, and is a part of the Kfir Brigade.
