an explanation of what jaymatt wrote:
the Pasuk states:
And Aaron took Elisheva the daughter of Aminadav, the sister of Nachshon.
once we know Elisheva is the daughter of Aminadav, we then know she is the sister of Nachshon.
why did the Pasuk have to state that?
answer: as jaymatt said.
this is from Bava Basra Daf 110a (based on the Rashi jaymatt noted)
the logic is given there, that a woman will raise children in the manner that she (and her brothers) was raised, so that her sons (raised by her) will be similar to her brothers (raised by her parents).
