Commentary

The exact phrase 'Βίβλος γενέσεως' (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 appears in Luke 3:23-38. This genealogy is necessary to prove the linage and pedigree of Jesus Christ, and that by being the "Son of David" and "Son of Abraham" He fulfills the requirements relating to the prophecies about the coming Messiah. The expression "book of the genealogy" simply means a "table of the genealogy" or "a list of the generations." The phrase 'Βίβλος γενέσεως' was most probably 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. While the long genealogy of names is of little interest to most modern readers, however, the lineage and descent were of great importance in Jewish society of the time, and a 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.

The book

The Greek, Βίβλος, is translated as 'The' 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.

1) It is firstly used here as a book, or scroll of genealogy (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" the 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 and also the English paper 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, these words are the same, bok meaning both “beech tree” and “book”.

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

of the genealogy

γενέσεως The genealogy is proof of the fulfillment of God's promise to the patriarchs concerning the linage of the Messiah. In the King James Version of 1611 a generation simply meant a genealogy.

See Also Genealogy of Jesus

of Jesus Christ

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

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

the Son of David

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

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.
