that is the romans way of trying to confuse the people again;_ by putting Mary over Joseph_ the seed follows the male not the woman, & Bro Judah is correct_ virgin in hebrew difers from the greek usage of the word_ Joseph had sex with Mary_ there was no immaculate conception as the catholics would have eveyone to believe. They try to throw everyone off & make Christ born of a "virgin" as the other pagan gods came about (krishna of india who was born to the virgin maia on dec 25Th, horus of egypt who was born to the virgin isis on dec 25th, budda who was born to the virgin maya on dec 25th
on down to tammuz who was born to the virgin semiramis on dec 25th)
the Most High made an oath with David that the seed of Christ would come from his loins (2 samuel
7:12-13 & Psalms 132:11), so Christ had to come from the seed of David (Romans 1:3)
which we all know that Joseph is of the lineage of David (Luke 2:4-5)
the lineage of David starts in Matthew 1:1-16)
this also why Revelations 22:16 reads
I Jesus sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.
I am the ROOT (of Jesses father of David) & the OFFSpring of David.
& the bright & morning star.
an just an fyi:Christ was not born on Dec 25th as those other pagan gods were.
so even though the flesh part belongs to Joseph & David_ Mary being found with child of the Holy spirit_is because this was the first spirit the Most High created that was in her_therefore Christ is declared to be the son of the Most High with power.
heres the definition of "virgin" in hebrew:Almah or plural: alamot
in which almah is a hebrew feminie noun_for a girl who has reached pubert but is still under the shielding protection of her family; she is a young, marriageable (ie unmarried) girl.
In bibles, almah is typically translated as virgin,maiden,young woman, dasmel or girl, which in other words the term virgin meant a woman who is able to have children, not a woman who hasn't had sex.
