Joseph he adds/Yasaph he takes away

Check Gesenius' writing on the name Joseph:

Genesis 30:23 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Gen&c=30&t=KJV#comm/23)
Genesis 30:24 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Gen&c=30&t=KJV#comm/24)

Never realized that adding and taking away are almost related in words.

Gen30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. This verse is so interesting to me because "adding a son" may be applicable to the Joseph who married the virgin Mary. Did he know about the LORD doing the adding of a son (rather than himself)?
They "supposed" he was the father of Jesus--but not so... amen?

And Jesus' grandfather is Jacob too. But in Judaism they teach that there are two Messiahs:
Son of David - triumphant king;
Son of Joseph - suffering servant.

But take a look at Benjamin's two names which describe Jesus.
Benoni means son of my sorrows;
Benjamin means son of the right hand
which are both fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Not often I see Jacob spoken of as grandfather to Jesus, but most certainly agree. He's #63 from Adam and it's the only name in the pedigree that appears twice (so he's Jacob-II). Add to this how Enoch-II in the 7th generation, and Lamech-II in the 9th generation, and those two are the only "Jr.s" in the bunch... So the cryptogram 7x9 goes to 63, and makes Jesus #66. :typing:
