, Son of Levi ben Melchiĭescendand du Roi David à la 40è génération.Ĥ0th generation descendant of King David. Jacob, the elder, having died without male issue, transmitted his rights and privileges to the male issue of his brother Heli, Joseph, who according to genealogical usage was his descendant. Mary and Joseph were therefore first cousins, and both of the house of David. Hervey, Bishop of Bath and Wells, who wrote a learned work on the "Genealogies of Our Lord Jesus Christ", thinks that Mary was the daughter of Jacob, and Joseph was the son of Jacob's brother, Heli. This was the solution proposed by Africanus, and endorsed by St. gives the natural, and Luke the legal descent. Heli having died childless, his widow became the wife of his brother Jacob, and Joseph was the offspring of the marriage, by nature the son of Jacob, but legally the son of Heli. The child, therefore, of the second marriage is legally the child of the first (Deuteronomy 25:6). One explanation of this seeming contradiction is afforded by having recourse to the levirate law among the Jews, which prescribes that when a man dies childless his widow "shall not marry to another but his brother shall take her, and raise up seed for his brother" (Deuteronomy 25:5). In Luke he is said to be the father of Joseph, while in Matthew 1:16, Jacob was Joseph's father. HELEI - Luke 3:23) is evidently the same name as the preceding. Heli’s wife, Anne or Hannah, died a few years later and the orphaned young maiden was placed in the temple within the Order of the Temple-Virgins until she was eligible for marriage about the year of her bat Mitzvoth at the age of 12-13 years of age. The death of Heli occurred, according to Davidian genealogist David Hughes, in the “Davidic Dynasty”, either in the years of 20 to 16 BCE or 17 to 13 BCE. It was Herod’s attempt to eliminate any rival to the throne of Judea. Her Davidian father, Prince Alexander III Helios, was executed by King Herod the Great in a series of persecutions or pogrom against the Davidians. Yet, fate appeared not to be good to her, for she was early orphaned. This Jewish maiden, Mary, was a Davidian on her father’s side, and a Zadokian priest heiress on her mothers. To Prince Heli and Hannah, a young daughter, Princess Miriam, was born about the year of 20 to 19 BCE.

Herod’s reasons were more subliminal and sinister, for he eventually plotted to eliminate the Maccabees from holding either royal or priestly offices in Jerusalem and eliminate their presence entirely from Judea. Now this high priest was the son of Phabi, the founder of the House of Phabit, and the grandson of Boethus, that Alexandrian Zadokian priest that King Herod in 37 BCE asked to return to Jerusalem in order to restore the Zadokian dynastic reign again over the office of the high priest. In the era in which parents chose the husband of their daughters, Heli found favor with the High Priest Yeshua III. It appears that Prince Heli had the same aspirations and hopes for “Israel” as the high priest within the temple at Jerusalem. Prince Alexander III Helios was apparently not as much Hellenized as he was anti-Herodian.
