 Background Information 

The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that a just man is a righteous man. A just man rises after falling, is teachable, has nothing to do with idols, treats the poor with integrity, behaves honorably towards women, judges fairly, plunders no one, and obeys the laws and commandments of the Lord God. Noah  the ark builder was a just man. Lot in Sodom, John the Baptist in Judea, Simeon in Jerusalem, Joseph of Arimathea, Cornelius the centurion in Caesarea, and Joseph of Nazareth, in Galilee, were just men. Joseph was the craftsman pledged to wed Mary, a virgin. After Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph when Joseph was asleep and dreaming and told Joseph not to be afraid to receive Mary as his wife, and explained that the child in Mary's womb was conceived of the Holy Spirit. Months after John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth), Jesus the Christ was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Proverbs 9:1-18, 20:1-30, 24:1-34, Ezekiel 18:1-32, Zechariah 9:1-17, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-15:41, Hebrews 11:1-40, 2 Peter 2:1-22
