Bible Question: What is the name of Moses', Aaron's and Miriam's father? Is Aaron in the geneology line of Jesus? |
Bible Answer: Ex 2:1 doesnt make a clear reference to him, and he was a Levite therefore not decended from Judah because Levi was a brother to Judah. Matthew 1:3-5 Luke 3:32,33. Moses and Aaron were brothers and were definately after Judah who begot Perez who begot Hezron, and before Jesse the father of King David. Moses and Aaron would probably be around the Hezron-Ram-Amminadab times. They are clearly not the direct line of Jesus. (However, possibly since it only mentions the direct line and not the siblings, or the women involved. During the wild years when some Hebrews married out of their tribe, perhaps one or more of the women married to the direct male line might have been in some way from back to the Levite line (indirectly). This cannot of course be proven until we have the big reunion at the party ahead. |
