The Bible
Why are there so many names and lists?
The Bible is about real families, not a fairy tale. God knows people by name.
Matthew 1:1
“The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”
Isaiah 43:1
“But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.”
