17 All the generations, then, from Avraham until David were 14 generations; from David until the deportation to Babylon, 14 generations; from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ, 14 generations.
18 But this is how the birth of Iesoh {Aram. Yshoa} Christ took place. During the time his mother Mary was promised in marriage to Joseph, she was found to be pregnant by sacred spirit before they were united. 19 However, because her husband Joseph was righteous and did not want to make her a public spectacle, he intended to divorce her secretly. 20 But after he had thought these things over, look! Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}’s angel appeared to him in a dream, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take your wife Mary home, for what has been conceived in her is by sacred spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Iesoh {Aram. Yshoa}, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All of this actually came about to fulfill what was spoken by Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} through his prophet, saying: 23 “Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will name him Im·manʹu·Al,” which means, when translated, “Father is with us.”
24 Then Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} had directed him, and he took his wife home. 25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son, and he named him Iesoh {Aram. Yshoa}.
