[Faith-talk] An Interesting Bible Question, I Hope

[Timothy Clark Music]

hmm Paul that's a good question. i guess you go by their story all found in the bible and if you find that one person's story doesn't line up with the other person with the same name then you just figure that it's a different person with the same name but that's a vary interesting question.

One plausible answer would be to identify someone as "son of" as, for instance, Jacob ben Joshua.  This applies only to males.  Perhaps for females the Hebrew word "bat" would be used.  OK let's get to the question again: How would one distinguish between people with multiple names other than say the "son of" or "daughter of"? This would hold true especially if there were multiple sons or daughters whose fathers had the same name or even occupation.  Anyway if anyone has some input on this, would really like to know.  Thanks for any responses.  Your Christian friend and brother, Paul
