How to read the chart
Relationship legend
The line type communicates the kind of relationship; certainty and passage details remain available on every connection.
Frequent confusion
Common genealogy errors
Ancient genealogies served social, literary, legal, dynastic, and theological purposes; they should not be read as modern civil registries by default.
Research base
Sources and textual controls
The chart’s individual links cite biblical passages; these academic sources control the interpretation of genealogy as a literary and social form.
