[!note]- Who was of Heli…
St. Joseph, who by nature was the son of Jacob, (Matthew 1:16), in the account of the law, was son of Heli. For Heli and Jacob were brothers, by the same mother; and Heli, who was the elder, dying without issue, Jacob, as the law directed, married his widow: in consequence of such marriage, his son Joseph was reputed in the law the son of Heli.
