Commentary

The book

Βίβλος is translated as "The book" and not simply "Book" due to the normal use of anarthrous nouns in titles. This negates the need for italics here in the article 'The.' Anarthrous nouns are generally translated into English with the indefinite article ("a, an"). There are some anarthrous nouns which are qualitative and are often translated without an article.

Βίβλος is the inner bark of the papyrus plant which was made into a written book, a sheet, or scroll of writing. There are seven meanings revealed in scripture:

1) It is firstly used here as a book, or scroll (Matthew 1:1),
2) concerning the Pentateuch as the "book" of Moses in Mark 12:26,
3) regarding "the book of the words of Isaiah" that Jesus read from in Luke 3:4,
4) the "book of Psalms" in Luke 20:42 and also in Acts 1:20,
5) as "the prophets" in Acts 7:42,
6) as "the Book of Life" in Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 20:15
7) and of secular writings in Acts 19:19.

The English word Bible stems from the Greek Βίβλος. Interestingly the English word paper comes from papyrus. Because Beech wood tablets were a common writing material in Germanic societies before the development of paper, the Old English bōc and Old Norse bók both have the primary sense of “beech” but also a secondary sense of “book”, and it is from bōc that the modern word book derives. In modern German, the word for “book” is Buch, with Buche meaning “beech tree”. In Swedish language, these words are the same, bok meaning both “beech tree” and “book”.

See Also Βίβλος, 976, Book, Bible, Papyrus, and Anarthrous nouns.

of the generation

γενέσεως of the generation, means to be generated or to be placed in time, where the origination of the eternal Christ's body occurred, and the Word became flesh. Christ was not generated from man, but through Mary and from God, linking to verse 18. The genealogy mentioned is of Joseph, and not Jesus. Thus the New King James Version's translation is faulty having "The genealogy of Jesus Christ" because Christ had no genealogy except through His mother.

The exact phrase 'Βίβλος γενέσεως' (at times the book of the genealogy) is used in Genesis 2:4 and 5:1 in the so called Greek Septuagint. The LXX has:

αὕτη ἡ βίβλος γενέσεως οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς ὅτε ἐγένετο ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν Genesis 2:4
αὕτη ἡ βίβλος γενέσεως ἀνθρώπων ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν αδαμ κατ’ εἰκόνα θεοῦ ἐποίησεν αὐτόν. Genesis 5:1

In Hebrew the phrase "book of the genealogy" sepher toledoth (סֵפֶר תֹּולְדֹת) is frequent in Jewish writing. The other genealogy concerning the linage of the family of Jesus appears in Luke 3:23-38. This genealogical list here in Matthew is necessary to prove the linage and pedigree of Jesus Christ's family, and that He being raised in the house of Joseph who was the "Son of David" and "Son of Abraham" He fulfills the requirements relating to the prophecies about the coming Messiah.

While some believe the phrase 'Βίβλος γενέσεως' to be merely a title for the first part of the gospel of Matthew (1-17) and not a title to the Gospel of Matthew, nor for the entire New Testament itself, it is most probably linked to verse 18, where Jesus is generated from God, rather than produced through men in the genealogy of verse 2-17. It must be noted that the generation of Jesus Christ, applies to Christ's entire life. Nowhere else in the New Testament does book refer to anything other than an entire work. So it is erroneous to conclude that it is only concerned with the listed genealogy.

While the long genealogy of names may be of little interest to most modern readers, lineage and descent were of great importance in Jewish society of the time, and a family descent from David and Abraham was crucial to accepting Jesus as the Messiah. The names, at least in the first part of the genealogy, would have been well known to readers. The genealogy provides proof that the promise of mankind's future salvation made in Genesis 3:15 through the "seed of the woman" is fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth.

of Jesus Christ

Ἰησοῦ The Hebrew Yeshua means "the LORD is salvation."

Beza's 1598 has ȣ for οῦ in this and many other places. The οῦ has been retained for ease of reading.

Χριστοῦ. Christ meaning - The Messiah, anointed one. The word anointed means to be places into a position, like a king or a priest. A similar word is appointed.

the Son of David

υἱοῦ Δαβίδ. The "Son of David" (בֶּן דָּוִד,is a title of the Messiah, the Savior. Matthew 15:22, 20:20, 21:15; Mark 10:47; and Luke 18:38.

Some manuscripts spell Δαβίδ as Δαυεὶδ (with υε in place of a β) and Δαυὶδ (with υ in place of a β). Δαυεὶδ and Δαυὶδ are forms the from the Greek Septuagint.

the Son of Abraham

υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ. The "Son of Abraham" reveals that Christ is the promised Seed of the Abrahamic covenant. While the title "Son of David" was a common messianic title, "son of Abraham" was an expression that could refer to any Jew.
