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 1:6b–11

The second group of fourteen names of men in the family line of Jesus starts at 1:6b.

1:7a

Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah,

Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah.
Solomon fathered Rehoboam. Rehoboam fathered Abijah.

1:7b–8a

Asa: A few English versions (NRSV and ESV) spell this name Asaph. Most English versions spell it Asa, as the BSB does. You should follow the spelling of the national language version, but spell it according to the rules of your language.

1:7b

and Abijah the father of Asa.

Abijah was the father of Asa.
Abijah fathered Asa.

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Σολομὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ῥοβοάμ, Ῥοβοὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀβιά, Ἀβιὰ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀσάφ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Σολομῶν δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ῥοβοάμ Ῥοβοάμ δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ἀβιά Ἀβιά δέ ἐγέννησεν τόν Ἀσάφ)

This is a continuation of the list of Jesus’ ancestors that began in 1:2. Use the same format as you used in the previous verses.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

τὸν Ἀσάφ

Many translations spell Asaph as “Asa.” Consider how translations with which your readers might be familiar spell this name. Alternate translation: [Asa]
