1 | 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. |

2 | 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 |
