List of People

This is according to list in Matthew and I have added a few dates/facts as I have been reading, I will continue to update if I find more accurate information as I continue to move down the list. Please know I am not 100% correct on all of these dates and it is not complete. I have found them at one place or another and mostly just trying to get a perspective of the approximate timing for myself and some of them may just be the time they reigned if royalty or other significant events they were part of.

I also found it interesting that one commentary suggested the genealogy is divided in 3 sections as grouped below - 14 generations from Abraham to David; 14 from David to the deportation to Babylon; 14 from Babylon to Messiah. There are a few generations skipped in this point of view in Matthew, specifically Ahaziah, Joash & Amaziah, which I listed and can be found in the middle 14, and one that is in between the last two.

- Abraham & Sara - 2166 BC
- Isaac & Rebekah -  2066 BC
- Jacob & Leah - 2006 BC - entered Egypt  when Joseph was in charge of Pharaoh's household
- Judah (Joseph's 1/2 brother) & Tamar - this generation died before the new Pharaoh took over and        oppressed the Jews in Egypt
- Perez
- Hezron - both Perez & Hezron's families were present during the 2nd census of Moses before entry into the promised land
- Ram
- Amminadab
- Nahshon
- Salmon & Rahab - there is debate if this is Rahab the prostitute during Joshua's crusade or another Rahab. I personally think it is the prostitute.
