1:1 In tracing the ancestry to Abraham, Matthew holds a light of hope to the entire world. The covenant God made with Abraham was a promise of blessing to all the nations. 1:2 – 6a“ Abraham was the father of Isaac.” This expression emphasizes the human background of each generation, which paves the way for a dramatic change in v. 16, where Matthew points to the divine origin of Jesus. 1:6b – 11 The alternating series of godly and wicked kings is striking. 1:12 – 16 After the return of Israel from the exile, the Davidic line continues through Jeconiah.
