The biblical story

This genealogy traces the lineage of Jesus from Abraham through his earthly father, Joseph. Azor is listed as the son of Eliakim and the father of Zadok, placing him in the period after the Babylonian exile. The inclusion of Azor in the genealogy of Jesus emphasizes the continuity of the Messianic line and the fulfillment of God's promises through the generations.
