Canon Order: Thread
1/ There's a spicy debate over the order of books in the Jewish canon & then subsequently the order that the books should have in our Christian Bible today.

2/ Let's review some evidence.
1 It is said that Jesus' Bible was the long-closed Jewish canon that ended with the books of #Chronicles. Baba Bathra 14b (ca. 200 AD) has this order. But how old and well-known was it?

Biblical genealogies aren’t merely records of history.
They have a purpose, a message, and a theology to convey.
And the genealogies in 1 Chronicles are no exception.

In a future thread, I hope to zoom in on in Benjamin’s genealogy,
which is scattered throughout 1 Chronicles 7–9.
But, here, I’ll share a few thoughts on the big picture of the Chronicler’s genealogies.
