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.

STEPBible TIPNR
Judah is mentioned in Luk 3:30 as part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. This genealogy traces Jesus' lineage through His mother Mary's family line, back to Adam.
In the genealogy, Judah is listed as the father of Simeon and the son of Joseph. He is one of the ancestors in the period between David and the Babylonian exile.
The inclusion of Judah in the genealogy demonstrates Jesus' connection to the tribe of Judah and the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies, which indicated that the Messiah would come from the line of David and the tribe of Judah (Gen 49:10; Isa 11:1-5; Mic 5:2).
No additional information is provided about this specific Judah's life or the historical context in which he lived. His mention serves primarily to establish Jesus' lineage and to affirm His messianic identity.
