Despite not skipping over them, I still never thought of genealogies in this manner. Gaining a deeper understanding of the significance and purpose makes it evident that their importance can't be overstated. Thank you for shedding yours and the Bible’s light on any and all who read this.
What do you mean when you say that the number 14 is the numerical name for David?
Hi William! Great question! In Hebrew Gematria, “David,” which in Hebrew letters is spelled dalet(4)-vav(6)-dalet(4), comes out to 14!
Interesting. Do you see this kind of coded numerology throughout the Old Testament?
Great information! I so understand genealogy better!! Thank you!!
Thank you for explaining this. I’ll never read genealogies the same again. They are full of His grace, promises and purposes!
The Holy Spirit has used you to open my eyes to what I've been missing. God bless you

Great insights. I’m guilty of skipping over the names, but a Bishop once said the same as you and made it clear that the Lord doesn’t waste words.
Well done something that I missed thanks brother!
