Today we ask the database query:
What is the normal way to reference a person's name and ancestors?
The reader is encouraged to perform the query using a standard Biblical Konnkordance or search engine.
These database queries yield the list below.
The list justifies the following Rashi inference:
1) Normal genealogies typically have 2 generations (e.g. X son of Y).
2) When more genealogies are given there is emphasis.
The list below presents the results of the database query and show examples

Nu25-11
| Pinchas, son of Elazar, son of Aaron the Priest

| Pinchas was a priest even though his maternal grandfather was a former idolater
|
Nu16-01
| Korach, son of Yitzhar, son Kehath, son of Levi
| 4
| Korach's genealogy does not go to Jacob but only to Levi. Because he
was a disgrace to his Jewish ancestry, the name of Jacob, the Patriarchal founder of the Jews,
is omitted.

Advanced Rashi: There are less than a 100 examples of generalogies with more than
2 names in the Bible. In the Torah there are only 3 (The 3rd is Zelaphchad's daughters). This is certainly
a rich hunting ground for those eager to do a Midrashic project.
