However, it is part of the genealogical line that includes figures like Zerubbabel and Shealtiel, whose Hebrew names are זְרֻבָּבֶל (Strong's Hebrew 2216) and שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל (Strong's Hebrew 7597), respectively. Usage: Rhesa is a name found in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. It is used to identify an ancestor in the lineage of Jesus, specifically mentioned in the context of tracing Jesus' legal descent through Joseph. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Rhesa appears in the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:27. Genealogies were significant in Jewish culture as they established a person's heritage, tribal affiliation, and legal rights. The genealogy in Luke is distinct from the one in Matthew, as it traces Jesus' lineage through Mary, highlighting His biological descent. The inclusion of Rhesa in this genealogy underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's lineage.
