マタイの福音書 1:4-5 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 1:3-5

Strange links in genealogical chains. It must strike every reader as singular, that the women introduced in the genealogies are of doubtful character or of foreign relations. "The mention of the four women, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba, in such a pedigree is very significant. Tamar, the forgotten one, twice left a childless widow; Rahab, not only of the accursed seed of the Canaanites, but moreover a harlot; Ruth, also a long-childless widow, and a stranger, and born of the stock of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 1:4

And Naasson ( Nahshon , Revised Version) begat Salmon . This line of descent, from Nahshon to David, is also given by St. Luke ( Luke 3:31 , Luke 3:32 ), and is derived from Ruth 4:18-22 . But it has occasioned some difficulty, because it makes but five steps from Nahshon, who ( Numbers 1:7 ) was one of the heads of fathers' houses at the time of the Exodus, to the days of David. According to the chronology added in the margin of the Authorized Version, this period extended... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 1:5

Salmon begat Booz ( Boaz , Revised Version) of Rachab ( Rahab , Revised Version). That this was Rahab of Jericho has been generally received, and it is clear from the narrative in Joshua 2:11 , where Rahab declares, "The Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath," that, whatever this woman's previous life and character may have been, she was then not unlikely to join herself to the Israelites. Moreover, her great services rendered to the spies, and the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 1:2-16

These verses contain the genealogy of Jesus. Luke also Luke 3:0 gives a genealogy of the Messiah. No two passages of Scripture have caused more difficulty than these, and various attempts have been made to explain them. There are two sources of difficulty in these catalogues.Many names that are found in the Old Testament are here omitted; and, The tables of Matthew and Luke appear in many points to be different. From Adam to Abraham Matthew has mentioned no names, and Luke only has given the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 1:4

Matthew 1:4. And Aram begat Aminadab Of these, to Jesse, little is said in Scripture, for either they lived in slavery in Egypt, or in trouble in the wilderness, or in obscurity in Canaan before the kingdom was settled. Naasson, as we learn Numbers 1:7, was head of the house of Judah, not, as some through mistake have affirmed, when the Israelites entered Canaan, but when they were numbered and marshalled in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year after they were come out of Egypt.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 1:5

Matthew 1:5 . Salmon begat Booz of Rachab Viz., after their settlement in Canaan. It is not exact said that this woman was Rahab of Jericho, commonly called the harlot, but it is highly probable she was; for that Rahab was contemporary with Salmon, and a remarkable person, and there was no other of that name, especially of that age, of whom the compiler of the table could possibly suppose his reader to have any knowledge. It is true she was of one of those idolatrous nations with which the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 1:1-17

6. Genealogies of Jesus (Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 3:23-38)The genealogies recorded by Matthew and Luke show how the birth of Jesus fulfilled the promises made to Abraham (Genesis 12:2-3; Genesis 22:18). Matthew, writing for the Jews, begins his genealogy with Abraham, father of the Jewish race (Matthew 1:1-2a). Luke, writing for non-Jews, traces Jesus’ genealogy back past Abraham to Adam, to emphasize Jesus’ union with the whole human race (Luke 3:34-38).Between Abraham and David the two... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 1:4

Ram. This is the same as "Arni" (Luke 3:33). Also, it should be noted that several names are possibly omitted from this list of generations from Abraham to David. McGarvey pointed out that from the appearance of Rahab in the line, "There are 366 years for the time between this event and the birth of David?[20] Obviously, therefore, only the most noted of intervening ancestors are given in the tables. This was, of course, a procedure well known to the Jews and fully acceptable to them in every... read more
