Then you should write a bit more of an introduction. Perhaps a better title for the article would be Lineage of the Israelites.

If there are articles on any of the people in the list you should link to the articles, e.g. Jesus or Joseph or Joseph (note how to link to articles with different page titles).

By the way, whenever you leave comments on an article's talk page, please sign it by typing four tildes after it: ~
