This Heli therfore marying and dying without issue: Jacob his brother, according to the Law married his wife, and begat Joseph, and so raised up seed to his brother Heli.

  1. Beza boldly wipeth out of this Ghospel, these wordes, who was of Cainan: though al the Greeke copies both of the old Testament & of the new, have them with ful consent.
