Has Tovia Singer heard of Athalia?


The most problematic passage of the New Testament?

The four names removed, for at least three of them, it's the generations after Athalia.

Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
[Exodus 20:5]

For the fourth, I have seen suggestions going three ways, either the name was a double, or it was one person who personally merited damnatio memoriae, or some of the transitions between kings were not father to son and so he's omitted as an uncle, not an ancestor.
