| Jul 18, 2022 at 14:23 | comment | added | Henry | @NigelJ - For Elizabeth to be a daughter of Aaron, her father would have to be from the tribe of Levi - I do not see that is says anything about the tribe of Elizabeth's mother | |

| Jul 18, 2022 at 13:47 | comment | added | Nigel J | If Mary is of Levi (and I firmly believe, myself, that she is) then Jesus inherits the promises made to Phinehas (see Numbers 25 and Psalm 106. | |
| Jul 18, 2022 at 13:39 | comment | added | Nigel J | @Henry . . . . in which case, Elizabeth's mother would also be a 'daughter of Aaron' and so would Elizabeth's mother's sister, Mary's mother, thus Mary is of Levi. The question is about the meaning of the word 'cousin' and is on topic. | |
| Jul 18, 2022 at 13:20 | comment | added | Henry | I am not sure this is a hermeneutics question or answer, but the two standard apologetic replies are that "cousin" does not need to mean first cousins, and that even if it did mean that here it could have been that their mothers were sisters. | |
