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 .
