Subject: HOW WAS MARY IN THE LINEAGE OF DAVID? |
Bible Note: The question, "How was Mary in the lineage of David" is answered in Scripture. While many skip over, or ignore genealogies, they offer much insight. Luke 1:36 explains that Mary was the cousin to Elizabeth, John the baptist's mother. Luke 1:5 tells us Elizabeth was "of the daughters of Aaron". Exodus 6:23 informs us that Aaron took him Elisheba, sister of Naashon and daughter of Amminadab, for a wife. Numbers 1:5,7 states that the head of the tribe of Judah was Naashon, the son of Amminadab. With the understanding that "ALL Scripture is given by inspiration and profitable for doctrine, etc. we have a better appreciation for ALL of Scripture's genealogy. Hope this helps to explain how Mary herself was of the tribe of Judah. God's best to you, Taleb |
