1 | Geneology from Ezra back to Aaron? | Bible general Archive 1 | gumnos | 50547 | ||
Geneology from Ezra back to Aaron? According to the account in 1Chron 6:3ff, you have two parallel family namings, with Amariah, Ahitub, Zadok, and Azariah all entered twice (with Meraioth as the father of one Amariah and third Azariah as the father of the other Amariah). However, in Ezra 7:1ff, you get Ezra tracing back his geneology to Aaron without this set of duplicates. Where can I get an accurate picture of this family tree? |

2 | Geneology from Ezra back to Aaron? | Bible general Archive 1 | stokeyhk | 50548 | ||
The geneology of 1 Chronicles 1-9 is the most complete in the Bible. The Azariah, Amariah, Ahitub and Zadok of verses 11 and 12 are later descendants of the same mentioned in verses 7 and 8. Ezra simply refers to selected forefathers of his to prove his credentials. He, therefore, refers to the Seraiah of 1 Ch 6:14 and the Meraioth of 1 Ch 6:7. This a shortened, or telescopic geneology to serve that purpose rather than to discuss genealogies in themselves which Ezra had already done in Chronicles. However, note Paul's counsel in 1 Timothy 1:3, 4; Galatians 3:28. The Jews' family trees were destroyed in 70 A.D., having served their purpose of identifying the Messiah. So these geneologies preserved in the Bible serve to show it to be a genuinely historical account. |

3 | Geneology from Ezra back to Aaron? | Bible general Archive 1 | gumnos | 50555 | ||
Stokeyhk, Thank you for your response. Yes, my goal is not to bicker and argue endless geneologies (as per the 1 Tim verses), but I'm doing a study of names in the Bible. I began with Aaron on the first page of my concordance and have worked my way up to (at the time of this question), Ahitub. It has been a fascinating study, linking characters and making sense of some folks actions once you know more about them. Suddenly, they aren't just mostly-anonymous Greek or Hebrew names, but become more 3d when you link their references together. When I got to Ahitub, I got confused, because of the two references in 1 Ch. each with same father and son. Perhaps "son" (Hebrew "ben") in Ezra would have been better translated "descendant"? Shalom, -Tim |
