Maath

People · Updated 2026-05-07

Maath appears once in scripture, as a name in the genealogy of Jesus traced through Luke.

Place in the genealogy

Luke's ascending line from Joseph back to Adam carries the entry "the [son] of Maath, the [son] of Mattathias, the [son] of Semein, the [son] of Josech, the [son] of Joda" (Lu 3:26). Maath stands between Mattathias above him and Naggai below him in the chain, with the bracketed [son] marking the relational word the genealogy supplies between every generation.

Nothing else is recorded of him beyond his place in the line.
