Ancient Jewish Ancestors

Ancient Jewish Ancestors

by Shawn Henry Potter and Lois Carol Potter

Years ago, as we read the biblical account of ancient Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs, we wondered if those inspiring men and women were our ancestors. Our faith in God through Christ Jesus inspired an awareness of our spiritual descent from Abraham, Joseph, and David; and we knew the Apostle Paul taught that everyone who places their faith and trust in Jesus is a true descendant of Abraham.

We are confident that, as Christians, we truly “are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.”

Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham…. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise. (Gal 3:7, 28-29)

We are confident that, as Christians, we truly “are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” And this surely is what matters most of all.

Still, we wondered if we are also physically descended from these patriarchs and matriarchs. Were Abraham, Joseph, and David our physical forebears?

Were Abraham, Joseph, and David our physical forebears?

Insights from Mathematics

The mathematics of ancestry reveals that the surprising answer to this question is yes. Every person of Eurasian descent is descended from the ancient Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs. Here is how we know this to be true.

Every person has two parents, four grandparents, eight grandparents, and so forth going back in time; and King David was born about 1040 BC, or about 110 generations ago. So every person living today had about 2110 or 1 decillion, 298 nonillion, 74 octillion, 214 septillion, 633 sextillion, 706 quintillion, 907 quadrillion, 132 trillion, 624 billion, 82 million, 305 thousand, and 24 ancestors in 1040 BC. Wow! However, these were not all unique ancestors, because frequent marriages between near and distant cousins leads to pedigree collapse – i.e., many ancestral lines repeat resulting in a smaller, but still enormous, number of unique ancestors.

Since the population of Eurasia was only about 38,000,000 people in 1040 BC, our huge number of unique ancestors in that generation reveals that every person living in 1040 BC who has any descendants is an ancestor of every Eurasian person living today.[1] Therefore, since King David has many descendants living today, the mathematics of ancestry reveals that King David is an ancestor of every Eurasian person living today multiple times over.

Can we identify at least one possible generation-by-generation line of descent from the ancient Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs? Genealogical records become increasingly scarce as we go back in time. But the answer to this question is a qualified yes – qualified with the understanding that links between several early generations rely on scholarly conjecture rather than explicit records. The following proposed lineage is based on the work of Christian Settipani and others.

A Song of David

I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem – built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!”
For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good. (Ps 122)

[63] Flavius Josephus, Life, 1. Josephus described his own descent from a brother of Simon Maccabeus, and observed “… as nobility among several people is of a different origin, so with us to be of the sacerdotal dignity, is an indication of the splendor of a family. Now, I am not only sprung from a sacerdotal family in general, but from the first of the twenty-four courses; and as among us there is not only a considerable difference between one family of each course and another, I am of the chief family of that first course also; nay, further, by my mother I am of the royal blood; for the children of Asamoneus, from whom that family was derived, had both the office of the high priesthood, and the dignity of a king, for a long time together.” https://sacred-texts.com/jud/josephus/autobiog.htm. For an explanation of the twenty-four courses, see 1 Chr 24:4-19. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20chr%2024&version=ESV. See also Flavius Josephus, ed.

Note: Reference Josephus’ statement that the ancestors of Asamoneus “had both the office of the high priesthood, and the dignity of a king, for a long time together.” If Asamoneus was descended from Joacim, High Priest, then there were about 5 generations between Asamoneus and Joacim, High Priest, and the ancestors of Asomoneus “had both the office of the high priesthood, and the dignity of a king, for a long time together.”

After Tigranes and his brother arrived in Cappadocia, they disowned their Jewish descent and religion and embraced their Greek descent and religion. See also Flavius Josephus, ed.
