Tar’gum Tol’doth Mashiach Interpretation of the Genealogy of Mashiach
(The Line of Nathan ben David)
As Interpreted By S.L. John Bernal
Ya'akov or Jacob, from Matthew’s genealogy list is Mir’yam’s or Mary’s father. This can be ascertained from looking at the words “as was supposed” in (Luke 3:23) genealogy list. Presented here are the results of many laborous hours of work. In the complete resport, S.L. John Bernal goes into supportive details for each and every name and its literal translation.
Basic Function, Nuts and Bolts: This table is presenting the geneology lists given in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke side by side. The Literal Interpertation of the names from Matthew's list is found in the middle column. At person #36 there is a deviance in the lists, Matthew is Mary's record and Luke is Joseph's record. At the end, the entire list of only translated names is presented to tell the story hidden in the meaning of names. Alot of the technical work done by John Bernal is not presented here, but can be seen in his entire research project, available to download on the OUR Bible website. Have fun!
