I thinks i might have found it:
"Mary's father (Heli?) had two daughters, Mary and the unnamed wife of Zebedee (John 19:25; Matt 27:56). If there were no sons, Joseph would become son of Heli on his marriage, to preserve the family name and inheritance (cf. Num 27:1-11; 36:1-12, esp. v. 8, which accounts for Mary marrying a man of the family of David.)"
as you were talking about Paul, levirate marriage.
again, there are no certainties here, and the word is silent about any particulars on this. It would explain a lot, and The LORD was particular about the provision for it (numbers 36:6).
Which leads back around to first base here.
Theory: if the lineage in Matthew was of Mary, what problems does it pose???
Also, if we were careful and read the word correctly, and it attests to the curse being lifted, then Joseph is a legit decendant, and to be included. Does it make sense to not include him?
and more questions,....
I'll have to retract the heiress statement since there is no particular statement i can find for it.
