Joseph, the son of Jonam, is mentioned in Luke 3:30 as part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. This genealogy traces Jesus' lineage through his mother Mary's family line. Joseph is listed as the son of Jonam and the father of Judah. The genealogy spans several centuries, from Jesus back to Adam, demonstrating Jesus' connection to the ancestral line of David and the fulfillment of messianic prophecies. However, no additional information is provided about Joseph's life or the specific time period in which he lived.
