The Females figured prominenty in only to show forth their sons. "These were the sons,.... I don't find the genealogies you showed relevant. In fact, since they showcase the sons of those females (in almost every case mind you), why would Matthews be any different here? Why would Matthew showcase Mary and not list Joseph as the Husband? Lamsa and Murdock, who were both prominent scholars (Lamsa in fact grew up in the area, mind you), both utilized the word as husband,...now why are you and others trying to say different here?
Again you sidestepped and avoided the obvious in your post Wayne, what happened to Joseph the Husband? He is called a son of David, so why is he not listed in the genealogy?
It is not something that is irrelevant. The very person that is one of the key figures in all of this, a decendant of the son of David,.... is not important?
