Virgin birth and adoption
#1
Here's a footnote to Mattai 1:20 that I've added my version of Akhi Paul's translation that I thought everyone might find interesting:

Eshoo HaMeshikha, although not biologically the son of Yosip, is the legitimate heir to the throne of Dawid through Yosip because as Sanhedrin 19b says:

"Her sister Merab gave birth to them and she raised them [2 Shmuel 6:23 and 21:8], therefore they are called by her name. This teaches that whoever brings up an orphan in his home is regarded, according to Scripture, as though the child had been born to him."

See also Exodus Rabbah 46:5 and Megilah 13a.

Shlama, Craig
