The Threefold Structure of the Genealogy

The first verse of Matthew becomes this awesome gospel, but it's almost like a big bang. In Genesis 5 verse 1 you have in the Septuagint that exact phrase, Biblos Ganesos. So, I mean, Matthew is rewarding his Jewish Christian readers who know the law and the prophets with a little surplus value surplus meaning. There are two or three generations that are omitted for a strategic purpose because it really is a literary structure to show the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant.
