Enoch

Chanokh

חֲנוֹךְ

Dedicated.

Enoch walked with God and was not, for God took him. He stands in the line from Adam to Noah.

View Line of Christ

Matthew and Luke both frame a genealogy around Joseph, yet the names differ after David (Solomon in Matthew, Nathan in Luke). Scripture does not explain the difference. Common theories: (1) Matthew gives the legal/royal line and Luke another kinship line (blood, adoption, or levirate), both tied to Joseph; (2) one list is Joseph’s and Luke’s is Mary’s, with Joseph named because Yahshua was “as was supposed” his son (Luke 3:23)—a reading Luke never states outright; (3) both are Joseph’s by different reckonings (for example legal father and biological father). The chains below follow each Gospel as written.

Line of Christ (Matthew)

From Adam to Yahshua. Genesis carries the line to Abraham; Matthew’s genealogy carries it from Abraham to Yahshua through David and Solomon, ending at Joseph the husband of Mary.

Line of Christ (Luke)

Luke 3:23–38 as written: from Yahshua, “the son (as was supposed) of Joseph,” back through Heli and Nathan son of David to Adam. The names after David differ from Matthew.
