Although Mary was linked to Jesus by blood, her children belong to Joseph's tribe. Example, if a father is from the tribe of Levi and a mother from Judah, children belong to the tribe of father, that is Levi. So genealogy always goes through the tribe of father, not mother.
I don't know why this is mentioned.
Why did it not do the same for Mary , who is linked to Jesus by blood.
Thank you for your reply.
What I was wandering, is that Mary was a virgin and didn't have a human father.
I guess that no one knew at that time that she was a virgin.
Then Joseph kind of Adopted Jesus so prophecy would be fulfilled.
