Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Achim is listed as one of the ancestors of Jesus in the lineage traced from Abraham through David to Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Apart from his mention in the genealogy, no other details are provided about Achim's life, his occupation, or any significant events associated with him.
