Readers should approach the material with an open mind, recognizing that alternative perspectives may exist and should be considered for a more comprehensive understanding.
Additionally, some readers might find the depth of historical and cultural analysis of John 6:4 overwhelming at times. While this level of detail enhances the book's academic rigor, it may require readers to invest additional effort in absorbing the information and connecting it to Yeshua's teachings.
Overall, "The Chronological Gospels" is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of Yeshua's life and teachings. Michael Rood's meticulous research, combined with his thought-provoking interpretations, offers readers a fresh perspective on the timeless wisdom of Torah found in the Gospels about Shavuot.

GERMAN SCOTSMAN PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON Truthfully Told His Father, 'I Chopped Down A Cherry Tree' out of love for his mother, a Loyalist Mary Ball, the mother of George Washington could have been a descendant of the Tribe of Jer.33 Benjamin- Scottish German. Her name is similar to the biblical sisters, Mary, Maryam and Martha in Joseph's family from the late Stone, early Iron Age.

Galatians 5:23 KJV "Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
The Benjaminites in the New Testament play a significant role, especially in the writings of Paul and the book of James, though they are not explicitly identified as Benjaminites in the text itself. However, both figures, Paul and James, can be traced back to the Tribe of Benjamin in certain ways, based on their heritage and backgrounds. Let's delve into how the Benjaminites are connected to the Apostle Paul and James:
Paul’s Connection to the Tribe of Benjamin:
In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus) explicitly identifies himself as a descendant of the tribe of Benjamin in his letters, particularly in Philippians 3:5:
> “Circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;” (NIV)
Paul highlights his tribal affiliation in this passage as part of his Jewish heritage, asserting his status as a Benjamite.
His identification with the tribe of Benjamin is important because it connects him to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, the smallest and one of the most historically significant tribes.
Historical Context of the Tribe of Benjamin:
The tribe of Benjamin was one of the two tribes that formed the Kingdom of Judah after the split of Israel (with Judah and Benjamin remaining loyal to the Davidic dynasty after the kingdom split, Jer 33). The Benjaminites are associated with the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
Paul’s heritage as a Benjamite likely had an impact on his life and ministry, as he could trace his lineage to a tribe that had historical connections to both King Saul (the first king of Israel, who came from Benjamin) and King David (from the tribe of Judah).
James and the Tribe of Benjamin:
The book of James does not explicitly identify the author’s tribe, but there are strong suggestions that James was also from the tribe of Benjamin, based on his name and his relationship to Jesus.
1. James as the Brother of Jesus:
James, aka Yaqob, the author of the book of James, often identifies himself as James as the brother of Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3). Some scholars suggest that James also known as Jacob, Yaqob and Yakov, namesake traditionally of Grandfather, could have been from a Davidic line (through Mary, the mother of Jesus), and others believe he could have been from the tribe of Benjamin through another familial connection, perhaps his father, Joseph.
2. James' Lineage:
Though it is not directly stated in the Bible that James was from the tribe of Benjamin, there are historical and tradition-based connections that might suggest this. For example, some early Christian writings suggest that James’ father was named Joseph, a name also connected to the tribe of Benjamin in some genealogies.
3. Jerusalem and the Benjaminites:
James was a key leader in the Jerusalem Church and would have had significant Jewish and tribal ties, potentially to Benjamin, since Jerusalem was part of the territory historically associated with Judah and Benjamin. Benjaminites played a prominent role in the Jerusalem community, especially in the time leading up to and after the destruction of the Second Temple.
4. James as a Pharisee:
Some traditions and historical accounts suggest that James was highly respected within Jewish circles and followed the Pharisaic traditions. This might also align him with the tribe of Benjamin, as the Pharisees were known for their strict observance of Jewish law, something that was likely influential in the tribe of Benjamin’s adherence to Jewish identity and heritage.
The Significance of the Tribe of Benjamin in Paul and James:
1. Paul's identification with Benjamin serves as an important aspect of his identity, especially when discussing his Jewish background and credentials (e.g., Pharisee of Pharisees, etc.). His lineage connects him to a tribe with a significant history, and his connection to King Saul (who was also a Benjamite) becomes particularly important when Paul defends his apostleship and identity within the Jewish faith.
2. James, while not explicitly identified as a Benjamite in the text, may have shared a tribal connection to Benjamin given his leadership in Jerusalem and close association with Jewish traditions. It is possible that he was considered a member of the Davidic line (through Jesus), but there is also a possibility that he had connections to the Benjamite heritage, either through his father Joseph or other familial ties within Judah, Jer 33.
Key Themes:
Paul’s Benjamite Identity: His identification with Benjamin helps solidify his position as both a Jew and an apostle, carrying a dual heritage that he leverages in his teachings.
James’ Potential Benjamite Heritage: Though not directly stated, his leadership in the Jerusalem church and familial connections to Jesus might indicate a shared Benjamite legacy, emphasizing the continuity of Jewish tribes even in the early Christian community.
Conclusion:
Both Paul and James potentially have connections to the tribe of Benjamin, though in different ways. Paul explicitly identifies himself as a Benjamite in his letters, connecting his identity to that tribe. James, though his exact tribal affiliation is not specified, could also have connections to Benjamin, particularly through his familial background. Understanding their connection to this tribe can help shed light on their roles in the early Christian community and their interactions with the Jewish traditions of their time.

(Matthew 13:1-9; Mark 4:1-9)
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Martha and Mary
Lk 10:38-42 Peshitta vs. KJV
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary[am], which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, L-rd, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary[am] hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

1 COR 14:26 KJV How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: [Nurseries are for the discrete with babies needing to be fed] for it is not permitted unto them [babies] to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

Matt 1 Joseph Ben Jacob’s Lineage of FATHER is Mary’s or as some know her by her Hebrew name Miryam.
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat SOLOMON of her that had been the wife of Urias.
Michael Rood said, 'There's only 13 generations from the Carrying away to Babylon to Joseph' from Matt 1:17
Nehemia Gordon tried to clear up some confusion about the cursed woman Mariam's engagement and sacred marriage bed in traditional Judaism. Chap One ends with vs 16 in the Book of Matthew.
In ancient Jewish culture, betrothal was a serious commitment and legally binding contract. It was not just an informal engagement as we understand it today. A betrothal was considered as binding as marriage, though the couple did not yet live together or have relations. This period could last a year or more and was considered an important phase before the marriage ceremony.
Betrothal meant that the woman was legally bound to the man, and breaking the betrothal required a formal divorce.
Matthew 1:18-19 shows this concept clearly:
“This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.” (NIV)
And Joseph, being a righteous man, was considering quietly divorcing her. This suggests that they were already legally bound, but not yet fully married.
1. Engagement (betrothal) in ancient Jewish customs was a serious, legally binding contract, much stronger than a modern-day engagement.
2. Joseph and Miriam were likely married, but the full public marriage ceremony would have followed after the betrothal. The angel’s message confirmed the legitimacy of Miriam’s pregnancy, preventing divorce.
3. The white garment tradition and Jewish marriage customs could support the idea that the couple’s relationship was formal, and marriage might have been celebrated during Sukkot or another major festival.
4. Joseph’s decision to not divorce Miriam highlights the righteousness and compassion that would have been expected of a Jewish man in his position, even in the face of what seemed to be an unusual situation.
Thus, it’s quite plausible to understand that Joseph and Miriam were legally bound, and Joseph’s actions were in line with Jewish law, but he chose to remain compassionate rather than follow the standard course of action (divorce)

According to the New Testament, Jesus had several brothers and sisters, though the exact number and identity of his siblings is a matter of debate among scholars and different Christian traditions.
Names of Jesus' Brothers (from the Gospels):
The Gospels of Matthew (13:55) and Mark (6:3) mention the names of Jesus' brothers:
1. James (the Just) – Often considered the most prominent brother of Jesus. He became a key leader in the early Christian church in Jerusalem and was known as "James the Just." He is traditionally believed to be the author of the Epistle of James in the New Testament.
2. Joseph (or Joses) – Another brother mentioned in both Matthew and Mark. This Joseph is sometimes confused with Joseph, the husband of Mary, though they are distinct individuals.
3. Simon – Mentioned in both Matthew 13:55 and Mark 6:3 as one of Jesus' brothers.
4. Judas (or Jude) – Often referred to as Jude in the New Testament. He is sometimes identified with the author of the Epistle of Jude, though this is not definitively established.
Sisters of Jesus:
The Gospels mention that Jesus had sisters, but their names are not provided. Matthew 13:56 and Mark 6:3 both state that Jesus had sisters, but they are not identified individually.
Interpretations of "Brothers" and "Sisters":
Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox View:
These traditions often hold the belief in the perpetual virginity of Mary, meaning that Mary remained a virgin throughout her life. Therefore, they interpret the references to Jesus' "brothers" and "sisters" as referring to close relatives (such as cousins), rather than children born to Mary and Joseph after Jesus' birth. This view is based on an understanding of the terms "brother" and "sister" as being broader in meaning in the ancient world.
Protestant View:
Many Protestant denominations believe that the references to Jesus' brothers and sisters indicate that Mary and Joseph had other children after the birth of Jesus. In this view, Jesus' brothers and sisters are seen as biological siblings born to Mary and Joseph, and this interpretation is consistent with the straightforward reading of the biblical texts.
James, the Brother of Jesus:
The most significant of Jesus' brothers in early Christianity was James (also known as James the Just). According to Christian tradition, James became the leader of the church in Jerusalem after Jesus' death and resurrection. He was a key figure in the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15), which dealt with the question of whether Gentile converts to Christianity had to follow Jewish law.
James is believed to have been martyred around 62 AD, as noted by Josephus in his historical writings.
Conclusion:
Jesus' brothers, according to the New Testament, were James, Joseph (Joses), Simon, and Judas (Jude), and he also had sisters. The precise relationship between these individuals and Jesus is interpreted differently in various Christian traditions, but they are typically understood as his siblings by most of the New Testament and historical texts.

Luke 1:5,58 Matt 1:7 HEB 7:8-17, 11:6 Both Josephs were from the Tribe of Judah genealogy and were obedient to the Order of Melschiedek in being Torah observant, paternally Joseph was a descendant of the prophet Nathan ben David, Luke 3:31. Yeshua was John's cousins through Abijah to Aaron in his maternal lineage from Solomon ben David. Matt 1:7,1-16 of Luke 1:5,58 Mariam and Elizabeth.

With all due respect for an Aramaic lineage, therefore, let’s consider Yeshua's rebuke for being called a Samaritan Jn 8:48-49 that his father deserved being given more respect than that of an inbred Samaritans, so therefore, in (hari.mathea?) Matt 1 vs 18 both Josephs couldn't be the father of Jesus, it only takes one to be Mariam’s husband, or, respectively the virgins husband could not be accepted from Nathan's priestly lineage of Joseph Ben Heli Lk 3:24-26 or allow a Jubilee year recognition after the Maccabeus genealogies in the gospels summarizing functions whqich reflect the Biblical Ecclesiastical Lunar Calendar.

Luke 20:27-40 KJV
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him. Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless. Then the second and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children. And last of all, the woman died. So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!” And they did not dare to question Him any further.

23 And Jesus, [יהושע], walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, anointed one, Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

Both Josephs were from the Tribe of Judah. Hebrews 7:8-17, genealogy, Yeshua was obedient to Order of Melschiedek in being Torah observant, as was Joseph of the prophet Nathan ben David, Luke 3:31.

Q A with Michael Rood
Maccabeus Josephus, author of War of the Jews was married and had a heir to his throne. Josephus also married a noble Jewish lady from Crete and had two sons: the elder’s name was Justus: also named Flavius and the next was Simonides: who was also named Agrippa and both died leaving a surviving brother, John Hyrcanus.
'The Antiquities contains two famous references to Jesus Christ: the one in Book XX calls him the “so-called Christ.' ~ The implication in the passage in Book XVIII of Christ’s divinity could not have come from Josephus and undoubtedly represents the tampering (if not invention) of a later Christian copyist." ~Poole, Gary William.

Here are some key examples:
1. Early Christian Writings:
New Testament:
Pauline Epistles (e.g., Galatians, 1 Corinthians): Paul mentions meeting James, the "Lord's brother," in Jerusalem and refers to him as one of the "pillars" of the early Church.
Acts of the Apostles: James is portrayed as a leader in the Jerusalem Church and plays a key role in the Council of Jerusalem.
Gospels (Mark and Matthew): These Gospels name James, along with other brothers of Jesus, suggesting a biological sibling relationship.
Other Early Christian Authors:
Hegesippus (2nd century CE): Provides accounts of James's martyrdom and his role as the head of the Jerusalem Church.
Clement of Alexandria (late 2nd century CE): Mentions James's leadership role in the Jerusalem Church.
Eusebius of Caesarea (3rd/4th century CE): Quotes from earlier sources, including Hegesippus, to provide information about James's life and death.
2. Potential Roman Inferences:
The James Ossuary: While debated, the inscription on this ossuary in Aramaic mentions "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus," suggesting a possible connection to Jesus of Nazareth.
Tacitus: While Tacitus mentions the execution of "Christus" by Pontius Pilate, there is no direct mention of James in his writings.
Suetonius: His writings focus on the activities of Jews and Christians in Rome, but they do not provide specific information about James.
Important Considerations:
Roman authors' focus: Roman writers, like Tacitus and Suetonius, generally focused on events and figures that directly impacted Roman society or governance.
Early Christian sources: Most of the early Christian sources emphasize James's role as a leader in the Jerusalem Church and his relationship with Jesus.
Authenticity of the James Ossuary: The authenticity of the James Ossuary and the interpretation of its inscription remain subjects of debate among scholars.
In conclusion, while Josephus is the most significant Roman-era source to mention James, the brother of Jesus, other early Christian writers provide substantial information about him. The possibility of other Roman inferences, such as the James Ossuary, continues to be explored and debated within scholarly circles.

However, reading hebraically rt to lft, therefore, to begin with Mariam’s father in Matt 1:25, the replacing of names and roles for Joseph ben Heli through an aliased Maccabean Luke 3:24 Greek name Janneus, Jonathan's Greek War with Mattatha [hari]mathaea to remove cousins of Maccabean descendant, James the Just, son of Joseph with a probable Greek Victor's name reveals probable forgeries were made after the life of Flavius Josephus of Tiberias, probably by the Roman Constantine and that's why there were more names in the genealogy in Luke 3 than in Matthew 1. Therefore, maternal Joseph ben Jacob, Yakov descendant's name of James was actually another aliased. The namesake Yakov: James the Just of his maternal Grandfather Matt 1 requires discernment in "he" lineage btw the maternal father, a Yosef ben Yakov and Luke 3 paternal Joseph ben Heli, a husband and a son with the same name vs 18 who had actually according to tradition was engaged the summer before, when Elizabeth was impregnated in Luke 1 and in Matt 1 vs 19 was married at the Feast of Tents and who pledged to keep Mariam instead of divorcing her. Matthew 1:25 and Luke 3:24 might reflect an altered or alias-based genealogy, perhaps incorporating Maccabean influence (through Janneus or James), which could be seen as an effort to legitimize Jesus by associating him with prestigious historical figures like the Hasmonean kings or through a strategic alteration of names. This hypothesis is plausible in the context of Jewish naming conventions and the fluidity of identity during the late Second Temple period, especially in the context of royal heritage or legal inheritance.
Yes, Josephus Flavius had a son named Flavius Simonides Agrippa. He was born in the ninth year of the reign of Vespasian (around 77 CE).
Regarding naming his son after King Agrippa II:
• Josephus was a friend of King Agrippa II and received 62 letters from him. Agrippa II also provided information to Josephus for his historical work, Antiquities of the Jews.
• King Agrippa II was involved in the deposition of High Priest Ananus ben Ananus, replacing him with Jesus ben Damneus, after Ananus ordered the execution of James the Just. This suggests a working relationship between Josephus and Agrippa II and potentially even support for some of Agrippa's actions.
• Given Josephus's close relationship with Agrippa II and the context of the political landscape at the time, it's plausible that Josephus may have named his son "Agrippa" to honor the king, perhaps in recognition of his political decisions.
However, it's important to note the following:
• While Josephus had a son named Agrippa and a close relationship with King Agrippa II, the exact motivations for naming his son this way are not definitively stated in the available sources.
• Historical sources primarily focus on Josephus's writings and political activities, and less on his personal choices and family life.
Therefore, while it's plausible, the exact reason for Josephus naming his son Agrippa cannot be confirmed.
Yes, the historian Josephus Flavius had a son named Agrippa, who was also known as Simonides Agrippa.
However, this son was not Herodian in the sense of being part of the Herodian dynasty that ruled Judea. Josephus himself was a Jewish priest and scholar, not a member of the Herodian royal family. The name "Agrippa" likely reflected his family's Roman connections, as Josephus had close ties to the Roman emperors Vespasian and Titus, who became his patrons. This is reflected in the fact that Josephus adopted the Roman name "Flavius" from his patrons.
In summary:
• Josephus had a son named Agrippa (Simonides Agrippa).
• His son was NOT part of the Herodian dynasty.
• The name "Agrippa" may have reflected Roman connections.
It's important to distinguish Josephus's son Agrippa from the Herodian rulers named Agrippa, such as Herod Agrippa I and Herod Agrippa II, who are mentioned in the Bible and Josephus's writings. These were members of the Herodian dynasty, whose family tree is documented by Josephus.
, Josephus Flavius had a son named Flavius Simonides Agrippa.
However, the reason he might have named his son Agrippa was likely due to his close relationship and patronage with King Agrippa II, rather than solely as a sign of favor for Agrippa II's role in removing the high priest Ananus.
Here's why:
• Josephus and Agrippa II were friends: Josephus states in his autobiography that Agrippa II wrote him 62 letters, indicating a close relationship and that Agrippa II supplied him with information for his writings. This suggests a patron-client relationship where Josephus benefited from Agrippa II's favor and support.
• Naming children after patrons was customary: It was a common practice for freedmen to adopt the name of their patrons as a sign of loyalty and gratitude. Given Josephus's relationship with Agrippa II and his adoption of the "Flavius" name from his Flavian patrons, it's reasonable to assume he would also honor Agrippa II by naming one of his sons after him.
• The removal of Ananus was a politically motivated event: King Agrippa II removed Ananus from the High Priesthood after a short time, likely due to his perceived breach of justice in the execution of James the Just. While Josephus may have benefited from or agreed with this removal, the primary motivation for naming his son Agrippa was likely based on his personal connection and dependence on Agrippa II's patronage, rather than solely on this specific incident.
In summary, Josephus did have a son named Agrippa, but the naming was more likely a result of his strong relationship with King Agrippa II and the customary practice of honoring patrons, rather than a direct consequence of the King's removal of Ananus.
Josephus Flavius of Galilee did have a son named Simonides Agrippa. He was not, however, a member of the Herodian dynasty. Josephus had three sons from two marriages. One son was named Flavius John Hyrcanus, survived the other two - Flavius Justus and Flavius Simonides Agrippa.
Ananus ben Ananus
High PriestYacob/James Accused of Stealing
Herod, the Pharisee that defected to Rome to war with Herod Antipas against Antagonis Maccabeus, could nave became obsessed about Jesus, Yehoshua. There was no 'war of innocents,' recorded by the historian Josephus of the Jewish Wars for the era when Jesus Yeshua was born. Herod the Great, a Pharisee 'faux jew' destroyed his own family by Mariamne I, niece of Antagonis. His sons killed both sons of Zebedee, Herod Agrippa I killed James the Great, and Herod Antipas killed the antagonist John the Apostle, whose real name was Yochannan, for rebuking his marriage to the wife of his brother Philip and and then his affair with his stepdaughter, Salome of Herodias.. Gal 4:29
Herod Antipas killed both John the Apostle and Jesus, Yeshua. Herod Agrippa I, Nero Augustus Cesar, (666), killed Jesus' other cousin- James the Great. The murder of both sons of Zebedee is recorded in the Book of Acts 12:1...along with the death of Herod Agrippa I. Herod Agrippa II avenged Ananus prompting the killing Yeshua's brother Yakov aka James the Just, brother to Jesus, Mark 6:3, by having him removed with the help of Flavius Josephus ben Matitisyahu.
The idea that Matthew 1:16 could refer to Joseph as the father of Miriam (Mary) rather than her husband might indicate that Mary's lineage was important for legal or prophetic purposes. The genealogy in Matthew and Luke presents Jesus as rightfully descended from David, but in different ways. If Mary had a separate Davidic connection (through Nathan), this would provide a dual claim to the throne for Jesus: through Joseph (legal descent from Solomon) and through Mary (biological descent from Nathan).
The Roman taxation system under Caesar Augustus (Octavian) after Egypt was annexed would have required registration for both Joseph and Mary despite their royal heritage. The legal aspects of inheritance and royal claim could have influenced how the Messiah was viewed by both Jewish and Roman authorities, with Jesus being seen as a legitimate heir to David's throne, even under Roman rule.
Constantine deviously had Eusebius hellinize the text about Miriam's marriage to Joseph to depopulate people forcing deviation from the path Apostles John, Yochanan, testified to people to straighten up their paths and stand against the immortality.
Hence, Beginning another chapter In Mat 1:19 perhaps ommiting the confusion with pronouns for "her husband" and considering the role was not a polygamous inbred Samaritan father being 'a husband' then the decision was possibly made not to annul the marriage by 'her father' and her husband, who incidentally has the same name being 'Joseph' who was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, considering that a paternal choice to [rt 2 lft -her father Yosef would perhaps approve either an engagement or would want an unconsumated marriage annulled to Joseph, or lft 2 rt It’s assumed that Joseph could've divorced his other wives] or vs. 19 divorce (means they were married) Mariam quietly, [or replace divorce with annulled] and hence vs 20 instead of Mariam, 'your wife' edit it to be Mariam 'a wife' or it could be better likewise to be blessed in vs 24 instead of making Mariam out to be a Hellenistic Freudian fruitcake from Matt 1: 11 when Yoshiyahu brought forth Yeḵonyah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Baḇel. from 2 Ki 23:34, Being cursed to be childless.
(Deut 23:2-3, Gal3:13 Curses were not fixed, they were extended a span of ten generations and anymore would be an exaggerated vent Jer 22:30); Josiah was before the carrying away to Babylon and Jokania was afterwards; perhaps there was not a curse on Jacob because of this (1st) marriage to priestly Joseph…
Therefore, with all due consideration for the problem of a miraculous virgin conceived with vs 23, hence, Mariam was a blessed Maccebeus Virgin that was Found of "will be with child" being future tense resolves prophetic Isa 7-9 of Immanuel for there is not a letter "J" in Hebrew Aramaic so he really was from the 'Branch' namesake "Yehoshua" or "Yeshua" Aramaic Lk 3 from His paternal lineage of Jacob, rt 2 lft the men were fathers, clearly there were two Josephs, one in Matt one Lk.and, agreed begat not- they did not birth the babies, except through surnames of husbands eg. Ish, iah of YHVH. However, that’s another discussion whether it’s the “IAH” of Ps 68:1 or transliterated IEO “‘YEHO” not to disregarding the scroll.
The Timeline to the Temple of Darius III era ppl give more than one name, or title per event named places for functional achievements eg. ISA 9:6 and an author from 1 Chronicle 7:27, likewise for Hashem of the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi Lk3:29 the same Victor at Zion Joshua of Zephaniah and Hoshea, hence, Neh 8:17 was the true son HASHEM יֵשׁוּעַ of Elohim | Aluiem and the sacred name of YESHUATI is from his maternal lineage and because of the Curse of Yokania of Matt 1:11 His name, Hebrew Hashem, was not Josiah from the lineage of Marian’s father. Therefore, in vs 25 or the same thing Jesus declared in Jn 8:48-49 that he was not an inbred Samaritan fornificator, either.
Jesus blest Antagonis' Maccabee Group that emerged from the War calling themselves the Maccabees to keep the lineage alive for rebuking Mithraism and I Praise YHVH for His son keeping Deca 10/25, Chanukah without attendance with a Roman pigs, too

Gal 3:13 Aramaic Bible in Plain English
But The Messiah has redeemed us from the curse of The Written Law, and he became a curse in our place, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”, (edited) amen for No Curses!
Sons of Noah Antiq i, vi, 1 and 2 Actually, tho, to consider John 8 and the adulterous woman – ‘During the Maccabeus War, while leading a brave battle against Antiochus riding inside a high tower on an elephant with military trappings of gold, Eleazar, the brother of Judas the Maccabeus, stabbed the elephant in the side with a Sword to kill the beast to win keeping the virtues of Virgin women; however, Elezaer was thrown and crushed by the Elephant.’ ~ Historian Josephus War I, I, 5
Eleazar Avaran, also known as Eleazar Maccabeus, was a brother of Judas Maccabeus and a key figure in the Maccabean revolt. He is particularly known for his death during the Battle of Beth-zechariah, where he was crushed by an elephant while attempting to kill the beast, believing it was carrying a Seleucid commander.
Here's a more detailed look:
Family:
Eleazar was one of the five sons of Mattathias, the priest who initiated the Maccabean revolt.
Role in the Revolt:
He fought alongside his brothers, Judas, Simon, John, and Jonathan, against the Seleucid Empire.
Death at Beth-zechariah:
During the battle, Eleazar saw a large elephant and, believing it carried the Seleucid commander, charged at it. He stabbed the elephant from underneath, but the beast fell on top of him, crushing him.
Significance:
His death, while a personal tragedy, became a symbol of courage and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming odds. It is described in both 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees.
This video explains the story of Eleazar:

Mariam visited with a widowed Anna in Jerusalem
Matthew 26
52 Then YESHUATI, hb., YISHO Aramaic, said to him, “Return the sword to its place, for all of those who take up swords will die by swords.
53 Do you think that I cannot ask my Father and he would raise up for me now more than twelve Legions of Angels?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”
55 At that moment YESHUATI said to the crowd, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and with clubs to seize me? I was with you every day in The Temple sitting and teaching, and you did not arrest me.”
56 But this happened that the scripture of The Prophets may be fulfilled; then all the disciples forsook him and fled."
My mother told me when I was a kid that Matthew 1 was Mary’s genealogy and her father, Rev. Joe, was a Baptist Jewish minister in about 14 churches, so I'm excited to read all about how Michael and Nehemia rewrote the translation correctly in helping clarify John 6:4, as well - passover was not correlated in the other 3 Gospels, John died in August. Nehemia Gordon has an excellent playlist about the critique of John 6 while studying for his Masters in Biblical Studies and a Bachelors in Archeology at the Hebrew University Of Jerusalem, Israel.
A book, "The Star That Astonished The World" by Ernest L. Martin suggests Yeshua was born at the Feast of Trumpets.
Joseph and Mariam resided for awhile at Megiddo near Mount Tabor in Jezreel Valley, Israel when the Magi discerned the signs on the heavens - the Light signals for the Feasts to Begin were sent from Mount Tabor.
The Shepherds Saw the Light
Luke 3:23 'And Jesus, [Yeshua Moshiach], himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli...30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, Which was the son of 31 Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David' ~ KJV
When you put 1 Chronicles 24 in a 7 year Jubilee timeframe you can discover when Yeshua was born.
The Bar Kokhba Dead Sea Scrolls has a Sabbatical year in 132 BC. Another Sabbatical year was the 162 Maccabean War - 163/4 BC = 3598 could have began the 72nd cycle of Jubilee Years (Fifty) since Moses and around the 74th cycle Of Jubilees. Yeshua was about 18 years of age if the 75th Year of Jubilees was 3748. Yeshua was born approximately 32 years before the CE calendar that began in 3761 = 01 AD, After Death.
Ref.: Exodus Year of Jubilee 1398 BC, Matt 1
There were no calendars before Moses.
~ Hebcal.com
Why did the Romans publish a calendar 2 or 3 years after our Moshiach died?
Perhaps, Constantine wanted to miscalculate and remove Yeshua's birth because of his lack of faith.
The discovery of those missing 3-4 years would help to clarify the dates of calenders at this time and date and why there was no Rapture in 2000 AD. According to Hebrews 1, time is infinite and God didn't change His Appointed Times in Torah from the Garden of Eden to stray away from the Tree Of Life.
Michael Rood has more biblical verses with proper correlation Zechariah 3:8, 10, Isa 53, 12:7 which prophesized that Yeshua was born in The Fall at the Feast of Tabernacles, not Pesach, unless one is in Australia.
Jn 10:22 Yeshua attended Chanukah on Solomon's Porch during winter Kislev, lt. deca 10/25 lunar Hillel calendar. He showed support for formation of those warriors who called themselves the Maccabees from their war efforts with Antagonis, grandson of Matathiyahu Maccabeus against hellinized Herod, pharisee Iudeam defector to the Roman Gentiles.

"Since "BC" is the English abbreviation for Before Christ, it is sometimes incorrectly concluded that AD means After Death (i.e., after the death of Jesus), which would mean that the approximately 33 years commonly associated with the life of Jesus would be included in neither the BC nor the AD time scales."~A.D. at Wikipedia

John 21:1-6 KJV
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, (Gàlilee), and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
During the IRON AGE, Jesus and his brothers made camouflaged fish nets with ropes made from rushes, reeds, hemp, willows and tree wood bark.
