Welcome to the forum!



Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.



I believe Mary was a virgin until after the birth.

Mary was espoused,not married,but engaged. Bethrothal was a formal ceremony, and was regarded as a binding obligation and it lasted about a year. During this time the Angel predicted her conception in Luke 1:26,27.....

My question is knew her as in Adam & Eve...

All scripture point to him knowing her as in knowledge before Jesus birth...

Thanks to all for the input so far.....Can you imagine going through the bethrothal period this day and age.....I guess you would want to speed the clock up uhh....How much longer Lord??...........Angel:angel:

Thanks hedgedweller for your insight....most of the time bethrothal was around a year long...I guess there is an exception to that .....

And I never thought of Mary the way you put it.....

In studying betrothal a little more....I found different times...such as David married Abigail and Ahinoam immeditately(1 Samuel 38-43) and then we see Jacob and Rachel...Jacob worked for Rachel's father for seven yrs during his bethrothal and then was given Leah...Jacob worked seven more years so he could have Rachel...so you can say his betrothal time was 14 year!......
