A lovely story. Of course, it flies in the face of so much (including that Chushim was a son, not a daughter) and is not spoken of as adopted anywhere in the text or commentaries. You, no doubt, want to tie this all into Chronicles 1:8 which has a female named Chushim but there, you also have a person named Shacharim (who was actually Bo'az). Chushim, son of Dan was deaf but plays an important role in a certain biblical figure's death.
An orphan, brought up is regarded as like a biological child for certain religious laws. However this is not adoption and is not about tribal lineage. If you are going to cut and paste from some "debating Christianity" website, you should check sources. Sanhedrin has no 119 b. You mean 19b, which states that if one takes in an orphan, the text elevates him to the status as having given birth to the child for the sake of honor/respecting parents, certain laws of partial claim to inheritance (see the Petach Einayim) and how one is referred to in some rituals. Jumping to any other conclusions is pure invention.
Ah, like the 5 daughters of Tzlophchad who were called daughters even though their father had no son.
Because your notion of the 144,000 is not part of Jewish thought so is useless? Yeah, that must be it. You can debate that on the other thread about the "144,000" or on that debating Christianity site from which you copied all of this.
So then all the sources that refer to the Messiah, Son of Ephraim must be wrong. They must also not be trusted when they talk about a Messiah the son of Joseph. Feel free to throw out the entire idea. And the rest of this muddled lineage claim simply makes no sense.
The five daughters of Zelophehad from the tribe of Manasseh the actual first born son of Joseph, who were Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah, all married their first cousins as was the custom of the Israelites. Numbers 27.
Is
Mahlah, the first born daughter of Zelophehad, a male or female name?
See 1 Chronicles 7: 18; Gilead’s sister Hammolecheth had three sons, Ishod, Abiezer, and
Mahlah.,
Hushim, the daughter of Dan married her first cousin Shaharaim, from the tribe of Benjamin, who sired to her two sons, Abitub and Elpaal, who were also called Muppim and Huppim the descendants of Benjamin.
When Levi went to reside in Egypt, he took his three sons with him, and they were Gershon, Korath, and Merari.
Korath, the second born of Levi, had four sons, Amram , Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the firstborn of the four being Amram, who married Jochebed, his father’s sister, who were the parents of Miriam, Aaron, and Moses.
The second born son of Korath was Izhar, who had no sons, the source of his descendants is through his only daughter ‘Shelomith’ who united with her first cousin Amminadab, and bore Korah to carry on her father’s name.
In 1Chronicles 6: 22; “These are the descendants of Kohath from generation to generation: Amminadab, Korah, Assir, Elkanah, Ebiasaph, Assir, Tahath, Uriel, Uzziah, Shaul.
The progeny of Korath is counted through Amminadab from the tribe of Judah, whose sister ‘Elisheba’ was the wife of Aaron.
Korah, the grandson of Izhar the second born son of Korath, and 250 of his clan, who were not of the seed of Aaron, were incinerated by the fire of the Lord, as a warning to the Israelites that no one who was not of the seed of Aaron should come to the alter to burn incense for the Lord.
Gill’s notes on the bible; Notwithstanding, all the children of Korah died not. Neither of the pestilence, nor by fire, nor by the swallowing up of the earth; they not being in the counsel of their father, but followed the doctrine of Moses the prophet, as the Targum of Jonathan; they either disliked their father's scheme, or, if they engaged with him in it, they repented and departed from him, and were not present when the judgments of God came upon him and his company; there were several of his posterity who were singers in the times of David, and to whom many of the psalms were sent to be sung.
The sons of Uriah were members of the tribe of Levi through their mother Bathsheba the daughter of Ammiel, the son of Oded-Edom, who was a descendant of Moses from the house of Levi, by his second wife Jepunniah, an Ethiopian woman, [See Numbers 12: 1; KJV] who was the widow of a man from the tribe of Judah, and the mother of Caleb, who, at the age of forty, became the adopted son of Moses, and Jepunniah was the daughter of Hobab the Kennite, one of the two fathers-in-law to Moses, [See Judges 4: 11.] Hobab was also the brother-in-law to Moses, as both were the sons, or rather the sons-in-law of Jethro,
Orthodox Jews, who believe that
matrilineality and matriarchy within Judaism are related to the metaphysical concept of the Jewish soul, maintain that matrilineal descent is an oral law from at least the time of the covenant at Sinai (c. 1310 BCE).
The Talmud states, "Whoever brings up an orphan in his home is regarded...as though the child had been born to him." (Sanhedrin 19b).” In other words, the adopted child is to be treated as a child born to the father of that house, which means, that Heli and his descendants, who were born from the genetic line of Nathan ‘the prophet,’ who was the adopted son of King David, were legitimate heirs to King David, although originally, not to the throne of Israel, as the prophesied Messiah had to come through the genetic line of Solomon.
Heli and his descendants only became heirs to the throne of David, through Nathan the adopted son of King David, when Naria, a descendant of Nathan, married Tamar, a female descendant of King Solomon, who bore to Naria a son by the name “Salathiel.” After the death of Naria, Tamar was taken to wife by King Jehoiachin, whose only biological son with Tamar, was Zedekiah who died prematurely in Childhood.
According to Torah law, Nathan the adopted son of King David, and Nathan’s descendants, were legitimate heirs of King David, but not in the ancestral line of the promised Messiah, who was to be born of the seed of Solomon, until Naria the descendant of Nathan coupled with Tamar the descendant of Solomon, to produce Salathiel the ancestor of Jesus, who has been made High Priest (From the tribe of Levi=Nathan) and King (From the tribe of Judah=Solomon) in the order of Melchizedek.
David Hughes the noted
Genealogist of the Ancient World Lineages, states that King Jeconiah’s only son, with Queen Tamar, ‘Prince Zedekiah,’ died prematurely in childhood, and in 586 BCE King Zedekiah, the last king of Israel, whose original name
Mattaniah, was the son of
Josiah and the uncle of Jehoiachin. King Zedekiah/Mattaniah, was taken prisoner and his sons were executed in front of him, after which, his eyes were gouged out, and there in Babylon, he remained blinded in exile for the rest of his life and it appeared that the entire royal lineage of King David through God’s chosen son, Solomon, had been exterminated.
With all the known direct lineages of male heirs to the lineage of King Solomon the son of King David and Bathsheba now extinct, Queen Tamar II became the dynastic heiress preserving not only the Lineage of King Solomon, but also became the inter-dynastic link, or the vital crossover heiress merging the non-royal Nathan lineage with the royal lineages of King Solomon. With the addition of Tamar representing the mainline descendants of King David, we now can understand the linkage between the two prime royal and non-royal lineages to the ancestry of the Jewish Messiah Yehoshua ben Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph the son of Alexander Helios a descendant of Nathan).
Jesus carried in his genes the potent fusion of Davidian and Zadokian bloodlines. He carried the potent bloodline of the royal mantle as a Priest-King of Israel and the messianic mantle as the Maschiach Yisra’el (Messiah of Israel) of the House of David.
Hebrew 5: 10; “And God declared him (Jesus) to be high priest according to the priestly order of Melchizedek.” Melchizedek held the titles of both King and high priest. Hebrew 5: 5; “In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the honor of being high priest. Instead, God said to him, ‘You are my Son; TODAY I have become your Father.’”
BTW, I do not cut and paste from other "debating Christianity" websites, Perhaps you have read my beliefs as to the daughter of Dan from my posts in other Christian forums, which are under the name ‘The S-word’ of ‘The Tongue’ or perhaps ‘Gentorev.’ Or some other name I was using at the time.
