Bible Note: Dear Kalos, Thank you for this additional perspecitive. I think that this could quite possibly be correct. I would think that if one geneology is that of Joeseph and the other is of Mary, then it would be the other way around. I would think that Heli would be Joseph's father, and Jacob would be Joseph's father-in-law. My reasoning is that the geneology in Matthew, which includes Jacob, also includes several women. It mentions the names of Rahab (Salmon's wife), Ruth (Boaz' wife), and Mary (Joeseph's wife). I would assume that having a more feminine leaning, that this would be the geneology of Mary (or Joseph's in-laws). On the other hand the geneology in Luke (which includes Heli) only mentions Salmon, Boaz, and Joeseph. Therefore, I would think that it would make more sense that this would be Joeseph's direct lineage. As I said in my first response, I have not studied this in great length. This is just what seems to make the most sense to me based purely on the biblical passages in question. |
