To: Hebrews 11:6

‘Morning!

Good to see you again.

It’s a lot easier to wade through the begats small bites at a time.

Two random thoughts occur to me at this point.

IF I recall correctly, and I recognize I may not, Judaism is passed through the mother, if your mother is a Jew, you are a Jew. The same doesn’t apply if a Jewish man marries a shiksa, any issue is regarded as not quite a Jew.

Second point, the lineage breaks at Joseph, as Jesus is not his natural born child. If God Himself is your father, any earthly male lineage is moot, isn’t it?

We know now of Jesus’ divine Father, but the Pharisees certainly were ignorant. They couldn’t handle that truth.

Though Joseph is not the biological father, he retained all the tradition and heritage of the tribe of Judah.
Perhaps God picked Joseph because he knew that Joseph would serve Jesus and Mary very well.

The wife of Boaz was Ruth. Ruth was a Moabitess, widowed of one of the son’s of the Jewess, Naomi. Note the scriptures tell us ‘the two shall become one’. The son of Boaz and Ruth was Obed, meaning worship. I tend to see Ruth as a Jewess through her marriage to the Jewish son of Jewess Naomi. So when she and Boaz conceived Obed, Ruth was more thamn just a Moabitess.
