    They wasn't intimate
  • Stan - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    It means he never had sex with her until after Jesus was born.

    Thank You sometimes the wording in the Bible confuses me
  • AM - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    He did not have an intimate relations between a husband and wife. This is also something that God ask men not to have intercourse while pregnant anyway temperance in all things is very important to God and Joseph was a very good respectable man.
  • Scripture Explanation - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    Hi Angie, we see the same wording with Adam and Eve ... Genesis1:4 And Adam Knew Eve his wife and she Conceived and bare Cain and said I have gotten a Man from The Lord..... One Cult believes that Satan Knew Eve and that is how Cain was Conceived, when I shared this Scripture with him he would not accept it they may have deleted it like other Cults do in their Bibles when it shows their in error.

    It means that they did not have physical intimacy until Jesus was born.

    They had not made love together
  • SB - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    He knew her not - is a term used when two people have not yet consummated their marriage. They have not yet come together in their marriage bed, which is why Mary was still a virgin.
  • Beesty68 - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    It means they did not lay together until she conceived
  • Beesty68 - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 4 years ago
    It means what it says on the tin, did not lay together until after Christ was born
