Matthew 1:18-25 (TS2009)
But the birth of YHWSO Messiah was as follows: After His mother Miryam was engaged to Yoseph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant from the Set-apart Spirit. And Yoseph her husband, being righteous, and not wishing to make a show of her, had in mind to put her away secretly. But while he thought about this, see, a messenger of YHWH appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Yoseph, son of Dawid, do not be afraid to take Miryam as your wife, for that which is in her was brought forth from the Set-apart Spirit. "And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name YHWSO for He shall save His people from their sins. And all this came to be in order to fill what was spoken by YHWH through the prophet, saying, "See, an 'almah' shall conceive, and she shall give birth to a Son, and they shall call His Name Immanuel," which translated, means, "El with us." And Yoseph, awaking from his sleep, did as the messenger of YHWH commanded him and took his wife, but knew her not until she gave birth to her Son, the first-born. And he called His Name YHWSO.

That which is in her was brought forth from the Set-apart Spirit. It clearly says that Mary was made pregnant by the Set-apart Spirit. Joseph wanted to put away Mary secretly because she was found to be pregnant. The only legal reason for a Hebrew man to be able to put away his bethrothed or wife was when she had lain with another man.

Luke 1:26-37 (TS2009)
And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by Elohim to a city of Galil named Natsareth, to a maiden engaged to a man whose name was Yoseph, of the house of Dawid. And the maiden's name was Miryam. And the messenger, coming to her, said, "Greetings, favoured one, the Master is with you. Blessed are you among women!" But she was greatly disturbed at his word, and wondered what kind of greeting this was. And the messenger said to her, "Do not be afraid, Miryam, for you have found favour with Elohim. And see, you shall conceive in your womb, and shall give birth to a Son, and call His Name YHWSO "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And YHWH Elohim shall give Him the throne of His father Dawid. "And He shall reign over the house of Yaaqob forever, and there shall be no end to His reign." And Miryam said to the messenger, "How shall this be, since I do not know a man?" And the messenger answering, said to her, "The Set-apart Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you. And for that reason the Set-apart One born of you shall be called: Son of Elohim. "And see, Elisheba your relative, she has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is now the sixth month to her who was called barren, "because with Elohim no matter shall be impossible.



Matthew said that Joseph knew her not until she gave birth to her Son. This strongly implies that Joseph did not have sexual intercourse with Mary until YHWSO was born simply because Joseph and Mary were together and "knew" each other very well.



According to Luke Mary replied to the messenger who told her that she would conceive in her womb: How shall this be, since I do not know a man? The Greek word "ginóskó" means "to know" or "to have sexual intercourse" in a polite way. Of course the context clearly shows that it means sexual intercourse because Mary already "knew" Joseph in the common sense of the word since they were betrothed and together and she clearly says "a" man meaning that she truly was a virgin.

Matthew 1:1-2,15-16 (TS2009)
The book of the genealogy of YHWSO Messiah, Son of Dawid, Son of Abraham: Abraham brought forth Yitshaq, and Yitshaq brought forth Yaaqob, and Yaaqob brought forth Yehudah and his brothers. ... And Elihud brought forth Elazar, and Elazar brought forth Mattan, and Mattan brought forth Yaaqob. And Yaaqob brought forth Yoseph the husband of Miryam, of whom was born YHWSO who is called Messiah.

Matthew gives the genealogy from Abraham to YHWSO.

Luke 3:23-38 (TS2009)
And when YHWSO Himself began, He was about thirty years of age, being, as reckoned by law, son of Yoseph, of Eli, of Mattithyahu, of Lewi, of Meleki, of Yanah, of Yoseph, of Mattithyahu, of Amots, of Nahum, of Hesli, of Noah, of Maath, of Mattithyahu, of Shimi, of Yoseph, of Yehudah, of Yohanan, of Rephayah, of Zerubbabel, of She'alti'el, of Neri, of Meleki, of Addi, of Qosam, of Elmodam, of Er, of Yehoshua, of Eliezer, of Yorim, of Mattithyahu, of Lewi, of Shimon, of Yehudah, of Yoseph, of Yonam, of Elyaqim, of Melea, of Menna, of Mattattah, of Nathan, of Dawid, of Yishai, of Obed, of Boaz, of Salmon, of Nahshon, of Amminadab, of Ram, of Hetsron, of Perets, of Yehudah, of Yaaqob, of Yitshaq, of Abraham, of Terah, of Nahor, of Seru, of Reu, of Pele, of Eber, of Shelah, of Qeynan, of Arpakshad, of Shem, of Noah, of Lemek, of Methushelah, of Hanok, of Yered, of Mahalalel, of Qeynan, of Enosh, of Sheth, of Adam, of Elohim.

Luke gives the genealogy from YHWSO to God. Importantly, the father of Joseph is another as was mentioned in Matthew, namely Eli instead of Jacob. That can only be explained if the genealogy in Luke is via Joseph's father-in-law (Mary's father) whereas Matthews' genealogy is via Joseph's father. Therefore Luke says that the Messiah is the son of Joseph as reckoned by law. Both genealogies lead via King David, from the tribe of Judah, and Abraham, and Noah, and Adam, to God. He is the Son of man and therefore also often called Son of Adam (Matthew 12:8) but He is first and foremost the Son of God (Matthew 3:17).

It is of course likely that God chose Mary because she was not defiled, a virgin. Joseph was likely also not defiled with any other woman before Mary, but the physical human lineage of the Messiah came through Mary anyway. Joseph's lineage was by law. Of course nobody doubts that God could impregnate Mary miraculously because with Elohim no matter shall be impossible. It is also interesting to note that the messenger of God visited Mary first, before she would be impregnated by the Set-apart Spirit. The messenger only visited Joseph after he found out that Mary was impregnated. He was not informed about it beforehand by God. I think this also shows that God chose Mary as the human lineage while Joseph would be the father by law. Ultimately God is of course the father of the Messiah.
