According to biblical tradition, Rebekah (or Rebecca) is a direct ancestor in the genealogy of Jesus. She is a pivotal matriarch, best known as the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob, whose lineage leads directly to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Rebekah's Relationship to Jesus' Lineage:
- Direct Ancestor: She married Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah. Their union produced twin sons, Esau and Jacob.
- Line of Israel: The bloodline continues through Jacob, which establishes the Twelve Tribes of Israel and culminates many generations later in the birth of Jesus (as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew's genealogy). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
