SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–17: A list of Jesus’ ancestors

Matthew began his book by listing the names of Jesus’ ancestors. He did this to show that Jesus came from the family line of King David and Abraham. By doing this, Matthew showed his readers that the Messiah had come and that he was Jesus.

In this list, Matthew divided the names into three groups of fourteen. In order to get fourteen names in each of the three groups, Matthew omitted several names. (Omitting names to achieve numerical groups was a common practice at that time.) So sometimes the word “father” actually refers to the grandfather. As a result, it may be better in some languages to translate the word “father” with a more general term such as “ancestor.”

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The ancestors of Jesus

Matthew wrote/gave the list of the family line of Jesus

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 3:23–38.

Paragraph 1:2–6a

This paragraph contains the first group of fourteen names of men in the family line of Jesus. It starts with the oldest ancestor, Abraham, and ends with David. It is important that you make clear that the list goes in the order of ancestor (or “father”) to descendant (or “son”).

1:3a

Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar,

Perez and Zerah: Both Perez and Zerah are male names.

by Tamar: The phrase by Tamar indicates that Tamar was the mother of both Perez and Zerah.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

whose mother was Tamar (NIV)

(their mother was Tamar) (GNT)

The mother of these two men was Tamar

Matthew mentioned mothers four times in this list of ancestors: 1:3a, 1:5a, 1:5b, 1:6b. All the rest of the names in this genealogy are names of the fathers or male ancestors.

1:3b

Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

Ram: Most English versions spell this name Ram. A few versions (NRSV and KJV) spell it Aram. You should follow the spelling of the national language version, but spell it according to the rules of your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Ἰούδας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Φαρὲς καὶ τὸν Ζάρα ἐκ τῆς Θαμάρ, Φαρὲς δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἑσρώμ, Ἑσρὼμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀράμ,

Judah (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἰούδας δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Φαρές καί τόν Ζάρα ἐκ τῆς Θαμάρ Φαρές δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ἑσρώμ Ἑσρώμ δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ἀράμ)

This is a continuation of the list of Jesus’ ancestors that began in [1:2](../01/02.md). Use the same format as you used in the previous verse.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

ἐκ τῆς Θαμάρ

of ¬the Thamar

The word Tamar is the name of a woman. She was the daughter-in-law of Judah.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

τὸν Ἑσρώμ, Ἑσρὼμ & τὸν Ἀράμ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἰούδας δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Φαρές καί τόν Ζάρα ἐκ τῆς Θαμάρ Φαρές δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ἑσρώμ Ἑσρώμ δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ἀράμ)

Many translations spell Hezrom as “Hezron” and Aram as “Ram.” Consider how translations with which your readers might be familiar spell these names. Alternate translation: [Hezron … Hezron … Ram]
