Matt 1:16
  Interlinear
Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary [Miriam];
through her was born Jesus, who is called the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ).
[In Greek, Joseph is in the definite form to give emphasis. Mary is the Greek form of the Aramaic name Mariam (from the Hebrew Miriam). Here there is a beautiful connection to the first covenant and to Moses, who received God’s teachings and commandments. The woman chosen to give birth to the Messiah, who fulfills the Torah, is named Miriam—the same name as Moses’ sister! She was the one who watched over Moses and saved his life, see Ex. 2:4–10.]
