Commentary on Matthew 1:2
This genealogy traces Christ's legal lineage through Joseph, establishing Jesus as the rightful heir to David's throne and Abraham's covenant. The Greek 'egennesen' (begat) emphasizes the historical reality of the incarnation, refuting any notion of a merely spiritual Christ. God's sovereign providence is evident in preserving this royal line through centuries of judgment and exile.
