Hi Dah,

I'm not sure about the 14 generations and how they are counting them, but I'd just offer this solution, the first deportation began in the third year of Jehoiakim.

1) Jehoiakim
2) Jeconiah(Jehoiachin)
3) Shealtiel
4) Zerubbabel
5) Abiud
6) Eliakim
7) Azor
8) Zadok
9) Achim
10) Elihud
11) Eleazar
12) Bibleman
13) Jacob
14) Jesus

I count 14....???

As far as Joseph being considered to being the "father" of Jesus, he was his LEGAL/adoptive father.

Besides that you have a MISSTATEMENT. Matthew does not say that Joseph was Jesus' father, but that "Jacob became father to Joseph the husband of Mary of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ."

So Matthew doesn't actually say that Joseph was Jacob's father.

And Luke qualifies his calling Jesus Joseph's son by saying, "as the opinion was...".

But specifically with these genealogy lists, "father" could be either grandfather, father-in-law or under(via brother-in-law marriage), so it's technically correct, particularly since this is in the context of genealogy lists.

So, semi-resolved, I'd say?

Nice questions.

While we're at it, did you realize that there were three different Mary Magadalenes? That's right. Let me know if you want the details!

Cheers,
Bibleman
