Ezra

What is the critical and supportive view of Ezra chapter 7? This chapter has genealogy of Ezra back to Aaron the high priest of Moses. Hammondwest (talk) 06:15, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Strange requests for citations

In the article, starting in the opening paragraph, there are "citation needed" inserts that are very strange since the only citation would be the texts mentioned, for example the citation for descendants of Cain would be Genesis 4 and the citation for the descendants of Seth would be Genesis 5. Any other citation would be redundant since the only source is those chapters. It's akin to asking for citations for a statement that metals are shown as elements on the Periodic Table; the only reference is the Periodic Table itself.

Good point. Now fixed. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 21:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Contradictions

The issue of contradictions in genealogical lists is not only found with the differences for Jesus between Matthew and Luke; there are some in the Old Testament writings as well. These should also be discussed! Dismalscholar (talk) 19:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
