Supplementary notes

Figures are taken from the New International Bible. There is significant variation depending on the version and translation of the Bible.

It is unclear whether the source made a distinction between two or more characters bearing the same name (such as Joseph, the son of Jacob, or Joseph, the husband of Mary).
