User:Aevanloon/Biblical lineage
The lineage of the Isralites from Adam to Jesus of Nazareth is clearly documented in the Bible. Jesus was of the 60th generation of humankind.
Sources: 1 Chronicles 1:1-27; Matthew 1:1-16
Suggested layout[edit]
May I suggest the following format for the article:
- Adam (married Eve)
- Cain, Abel, Seth
- Enosh (from Seth)
- Kenan
- Mahalalel
- Jared
- Enoch
- Methuselah
- Lamech
- Noah
- Shem, Ham, Japheth
- Arphaxad (from Shem)
- Shelah
- Eber
- Peleg
- Reu
- Serug
- Nahor
- Terah
- Abram (that is, Abraham)
- Isaac
- Jacob (that is, Israel) & Esau
- From Jacob: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah (married Tamar), Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, Asher (the 12 tribes of Israel)
- Perez (from Judah)
- Hezron
- Ram
- Amminadab
- Nahshon
- Salmon
- Boaz
- Obed
- Jesse
- David
- Solomon
- Rehoboam
- Abijah
- Asa
- Jehoshaphat
- Jehoram
- Uzziah
- Jotham
- Ahaz
- Hezekiah
- Manasseh
- Amon
- Josiah
- Jeconiah
- Shealtiel
- Zerubbabel
- Abiud
- Eliakim
- Azor
- Zadok
- Akim
- Eliud
- Eleazar
- Matthan
- Jacob
- Joseph
- Jesus, who is called Christ
Then you should write a bit more of an introduction. Perhaps a better title for the article would be Lineage of the Israelites.
If there are articles on any of the people in the list you should link to the articles, e.g. Jesus or Joseph or Joseph (note how to link to articles with different page titles).
