This is something that has always been of interest to me!. If you read the "begats" carefully you will notice that this is the only time then more than the first born son is mentioned in this way!. I truly believe that three boys are triplets and are mentioned in their birth order!.

In every other genealogy it is clearly stated that the father lived a certain number of years, begat his first son, had other sons and daughters, lived to be a certain number of years and then he died!. (except of course one time, and then he was no more)

I am no great scholar; but, I really don't think I need to be, I read the Word of God and I accept it at face value!.!.!.faith!.!.!. I believe that is what I am supposed to have!.!.!.God says it, I believe it PERIOD!.

I hope I have helped!.

Good luck and God bless you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
