Hi
The Christian story of Mary and Joseph.
Myths about the parents of Jesus, are prevalent in Christian mythology, especially their ages. Jewish history on marriageable ages of Jewish girls is well documented. Even being married at three (3) years of age are in the Hebrew scriptures. “A girl who is three years and one day old, whose father arranged her betrothal, is betrothed through intercourse.” Niddah 44b, see verse 9. Knowledge of such would whet the appetite of any paedophiles in the Bible belt region of America, as proof of their God’s Law on Lust!
Ancient and modern scholarly Christian writers have taken to writing the embellishment of their saviour and the Jesus family as a whole. Hiding the family’s dysfunctionality (as all biblical families) in pursuant of glorification, through down right fabrication.
According to ancient, and modern Christian text, Mary was a ward of the Temple, and they had to find her a husband. They even stated that the blessed and ever glorious Virgin Mary, sprung from the royal race and family of David, was born in the city of Nazareth, and educated at Jerusalem, in the temple of the Lord. These Christian authors forgetting that the last Davidic king’s (Zedekiah) family were slaughtered, and he was imprisoned until he died more than five centuries earlier. 2 Kings 25:4–7. As well as, no one shall sit on the throne of Judah again. Jeremiah 22:30. However, Jewish scholars accept this, but Christians don’t; otherwise it destroys the Jesus messiahship myth.
Mary.
How old was Mary/Miriam when it conceived, and gave birth to Jesus! Well, according to the scholar Joachim Jeremias stated a maiden of full age (bogeret, a girl who has reached adulthood or above twelve and a half) could marry without here father’s consent. However, according to the Christian text on the Gospel of Mary, the priests of the Temple gave her away to be married, meaning she was less than 12-1/2 years old. [Joachim Jeremias (1969), JERUSALEM in the Time of Jesus, Chapter XVIII, pp 363-5, Fortress Press, Philadelphia.]
Joseph.
Again, we only have Christian text, written by Christian zealots on Joseph.
Joseph died at the young age of 110 or 111, whichever cite you read, which was before Jesus took up his ministry. So Joseph was well into his 80s when Jesus was born, and probably over 90 when He and Mary walked back to Jerusalem to find 12-year-old Jesus.
Niddah 45a.9–10,~ The Youngest Mother in the World.
Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi (the Prince) thought that a girl may be betrothed by intercourse from the age of three years (and one day). However, he continued, she is incapable of conceiving until she is at least twelve years (and one day) old. To which Yusteni replied:
I married when I was six, and when I was seven, I gave birth. Woe for those three years, between the age of three, when I was fit for intercourse, and the age of six, when I married, as I wasted those years in my father’s house by not engaging in intercourse.
What do you say?
