Bible Question (short): Why the brief genealogy V14-V30 |
Question (full): V14 to V30 seems to me appeared not following the flow of the narrative from V13. This section looks like being added between V13 and 7:1 oddly. It makes much more sense to read 6:13 right away onward to 7:1. 1/ Why did Moses insert such paragraph? What was his purpose or message for his intended readers or target audience? 2/ This brief genealogy talked only the 3 oldest sons of Israel (Jacob) and further more, the line of Levi was mentioned with much detail comparatively. Why? It could not be the idea of emphasizing the preisthood of Levi's line since by that time God had not yet set up the priestly system. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you. Shalom Azure |
