All Israel was listed in the genealogies recorded in the book of the kings of Israel.
(1 Chronicles 9:1)

(In these artifacts, Christ) is surrounded by the faces of men and women, the elderly and children. They are the pilgrim People of God; they are the Church, the "spiritual building" made of living stones that adhere to Christ.

(John Paul II)
