Bede

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (735)

But rightly rising up from the baptized Son of God to God the Father, he places Enoch in the seventy-seventh step, who, having put off death, was translated unto Paradise, that he might signify that those, who by the grace of adoption of sons are born again of water and the Holy Spirit, are in the mean time (after the dissolution of the body) to be received into eternal rest, for the number seventy, because of the seventh of the sabbath, signifies the rest of those who, the grace of God assisting them, have fulfilled the decalogue of the aw.

The Genealogies of Christ

Two genealogies, two different fathers for Joseph, two different sons of David. Behind the apparent contradiction is some of the most elegant theological architecture in scripture.
