● Luke 1:26-27 . . In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a maiden espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the maiden's name was
Mary.
The sixth month wasn't a date on the Jews' calendar. It was relative to the
second trimester of Mary's cousin Elizabeth. (Luke 1:24, Luke 1:36)
Nazareth is roughly 64 miles north of Jerusalem as the crow flies, and 20
miles inland from Haifa.
Joseph's biological connection to David is extremely important in matters
related to theocratic royalty because the right to take his throne passes
down thru men.
Mary's name is equivalent to Miriam in the Old Testament: she was Moses'
sister.
NOTE: Mary and Elizabeth were biologically related to Rachel's sister Leah by
her two sons Levi and Judah. Elizabeth's name is equivalent to Elisheba in
the Old Testament; she was Aaron's wife. All four of the Jews named in this
post were biologically related to Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham.
