A different version of the Christmas story.
Miriam! shouted Rebekah the girl s mother.
Yes Mother?
Miriam get dressed. Your 2nd cousin Joseph is coming over today. He is your betrothed remember?
Yes Mother! I ve barely even met Joseph! I have not seen him since my last birthday and both you and Father want me to marry him. He s an older man anyway. So what is the rush about?
He is coming over to meet you again and get to know you better as well as renew his family connection to us. He is a successful carpenter so you should pay him some respect not to mention the fact that he is your betrothed.

Her father was a herdsman with several cattle but not as much as the neighboring Bar-Levi family. They were the wealthy herdsmen of the hamlet of Nazareth a de fact suburb of the Greek city-state of Sepphoris.

People from Sepphoris sometimes came through Nazareth barely concealing their scorn for the locals.
Miriam s family basically hoped that her marriage to Joseph Bar-Jacob would enhance their prosperity and status. She was the only child left since her brother Zadok had been executed as a supporter of Parthia by Herod the country s ruler. Her burden to preserve the family line and assets was very much increased by that tragic event.
Joseph was related to her which was considered a good thing not a bad one unless one was too closely related to one s betrothed such as a brother or uncle. The Torah made it clear that such people should be stoned to death for close incest. Joseph was exactly as distant a relative as he had to be for their purpose. He was still of the same extended family.
When they all sat down to eat Joseph could not help but notice that Miriam now 18 was quite lovely albeit in a rustic way. She had an earthy olive complexion smooth skin very cute lips and plenty of dark almost black hair. Part of him wished that they were already wed. Read the rest of this entry »
