Mary
Mariam was the earthly mother of Yahshua Christ.
Etymology
The name "Mariam" means 'rebellious people' and is representative of Israel as a whole.
History
Conception
In Matthew 1:19, the phrase “put away” is a literal rendering of the Greek term for what we would divorce, and in the verse we can see Joseph was not even really married yet, and Mary must have still been living in the home of her own family, so we see that the term is used in a legal sense.[1]
Means
It is evident in the Gospel of Luke that Yahshua's parents, Joseph and Mary, were quite poor. This is evident in Luke 2:24, where the offering they brought for the child at his presentation in the temple was a pair of birds.
Leviticus 12: “6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest: 7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female. 8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.”
The gifts which the Magi gave to ioseph and Mariam were of great value, it must be that they were somehow stored for the child by the parents, rather than having been consumed by them. No mention is made of such wealth in later scripture.
