THE LINEAGE

Family & peoples

Select a name or people for their background. Use + to expand branches. The details appear below the lineage.

How to read these lines

The source stays visible.

Scripture states

A relationship or action explicitly named in the linked biblical passage. A list’s order is not automatically birth order.

Another writing states

Jubilees, Enoch, Maccabees, and other works carry their own titles and passages. Their added details are kept distinct.

Reading note

A comparison or uncertainty, plainly labeled. Names do not receive moral labels where the source gives none.

Biblical links open the KJV at Bible Gateway; additional works link to identified editions. A people name, an ancestor, and a place of the same spelling may differ. Canons differ among traditions. The indexed entries and selected cross references are growing; the linked whole-Bible search helps locate mentions beyond this hand-checked index. A cited but lost work has no recoverable text here.
