17) The whole of all these55 generations, then, from Abraham until David are 14 generations; and from the David until the plucking up and removal to Babylon are 14 generations; and from the plucking up and removal to Babylon until the Christ are 14 generations.
18) Now concerning Jesus Christ: His coming into being was in this way; Mary, the mother of Him, being betrothed by marriage contract to Joseph, formerly and before their coming together, she was sought out and inquired, and found to be having in the womb, out by the Holy Spirit.56
19) But Joseph, the man betrothed to her, being righteous and just, and not having in mind -- nor the will57 -- to bring her alongside, to make a public show (of her), for the moment was willing to loose her away (by means of a divorce) secretly, and hide (her) swiftly, without notice.
20) And as he was increasingly growing in wrath and indignation while dwelling thoughtfully58 on these things: Behold! By a dream, the LORD’s Angel was seen by him, saying
‘ Joseph, a legitimate offspring and son of David. Do not run away
in fear,59 receive and take Miriam as your bride: for that which is
come into being in her is out of the Spirit, and Holy.
21) And she will bring forth and bear a Son and you shall call forth
His Name as Yeshua [Jesus], for He will deliver and make whole,
saving His people from the sickness and death of their sins.’
22) This also came into being in order that it might be supplied abundantly and fulfilled, by that spoken with definite words -- the LORD coming forth through the Prophet,60 saying,
23) ‘Behold! the virgin of marriageable age who has never known a man,
in the belly will hold and possess, and will bring forth and bear a Son,
and they will call forth and summon the Name of Him, EMMANUEL:
the which is, being after the interpretation,
‘’In the midst of and among us -- GOD.’’61
24) And Joseph, being excited in mind and body, and being fully awoken from the sloth and weariness62 of his slumber, he set about and completed those actions in what manner or way (that was) expressly set and ordered him63 by the LORD’s angel, and took possession of his wife;
25) and did not completely know her until she brought forth and bore her Son, the Firstborn. And he called forth and summoned the Name of Him: Yeshua [Jesus].”

[Note: I have hesitated posting this Chapter, apparently for many years, because of software issues that spell the Hebrew in reverse order of Left to Right, rather than right to left.
1 The Greek word here is biblos (βιβλος). It is sometimes interchangeable with biblion. In Revelation 3:5, this is found to be the Lamb’s book or scroll of life. Matthew was written in the summer of A.D. 55, and was aware of and had read John’s Revelation, which was written on Rosh HaShana A.D. 53, and distributed in A.D. 54 amongst the Mediterranean based Apostles of Christ.
2 γενεσεως deals with the origin of the circle of time, that which begins the chronology of existence of how and why so-and-so is legitimate in his claim for kingship of priesthood. The early example of a circle of time used by the Greeks is found in Ceres, who married Osiris and was renamed Isis. The Greeks called her IO (ΙΟ), to which Iota became the stopgap or place of beginning, and Omicron became the circle of time, representing eternity. What the Hellenized Israelis of the First Century also knew is that the Greeks were saying, with the marriage of Ceres to Osiris, the origin of Attic or Athenian Greek civilization begins here with IO or Ceres marriage. And indeed, Egyptian money, arms, naval forces, philosophy, construction, and so on did occur to such an extent, that the Greeks could truly say, as a “civilization’ made from the wilderness of Greece, “we have arrived” and find our origin and legitimacy through Ceres or IO. Matthew lays Abraham as the one to whom any Jewish King, Priest, or Messiah must have direct descent; and uses this marker because he is writing among hostile eyewitnesses and participants in Jerusalem on 25 years after the Crucifixion, where memories and contentions were still very fresh.

[All the following genealogical names will be translated from their Hebraic originals, using Gematriac analytic methods and criteria.]
3 Abraham alternatively can be defined as Ab/ra/ham: “Father, who through adversity, brings about abundance and wealth” or as Ab/raham: “Father of the (GOD) fearers.”
4 εγεννησε means, “to generate offspring” or children. This relates to ginomai as found in the Second Aorist “egenomen”, and as found in the Future “genesomai”, both of which deal with “bringing about into existence”. Andrew, in scribing John’s Hebrew expressions, writes in the Greek as a translator. This Gospel was probably spoken first in the Hebrew, and then guided by the Holy Spirit in its Greek documentation. We see this in John 1:1-18, with the incorporation of the imperfect of “eimi” (to be”) with “egeneto” in order to show that through YHVeH Messiah, “Bereshith” -- “In the Beginning”, the Universe and all that exists was “birthed”, “fathered”, and “found its origins” in Him. In the case of YHVeH, everything was birthed by the spoken word. In the case of men, the seed of the father was sowed into the earth of a woman’s flesh; and a child was brought into existence because so-and-so “fathered” such a one.
5 Isaac means: “YH’s laugh of merriment”.
6 Literally, Jacob means “YH’s heel”. In Genesis 3:15, in regards to Satan and the sons of Jacob, “You shall bruise His heel, but He shall bruise your head.” This is a dual application prophecy, regarding both Israel and Messiah.
7 Hereafter, for the sake of translation flow in this passage, I will translate “egennase” simply as the basic literal as “fathered”. I have retained the full translation for Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, because to them is given a distinctive honor of meeting all the saints personally, to sit and dine and talk with every one of them in the Kingdom To Come.
8 Judah means literally: “YH’s (this is)”, or “he belonging to YH” In the Hebrew, Judah is written as Yehudah הודהי. If the Dalet (ד), which represents David and Messiah, is placed behind the Vav (ו), which represents Adam and his descendants, the word then means “YH’s sickness”. Therefore, it is prophesied in the very word of Judah, that one from this lineage would be Messiah, and bear our sickness of sin upon Himself, being both YHVeH and man. We find this Emmanuel, meaning “GOD with us”, only in Christ Jesus. Any others will be fakes.
10 Phares means “the breach” or “the breaking forth”.
11 Zarah means - “the rising light” such as the early dawning of the morning star.
12 Hezron means - “courtyard”. cf. Gabbatha - “the pavement (courtyard)” upon which Christ was judged and given 39 lashes.
13 Aram means - “GOD’s height (or elevated room).”
14 Amminadab means “he who is NOT to be portioned out to either sorrow or pining.”
15 Nashon means “rest with quietness”. Cf. Isaiah 32:18’s “The work of righteousness shall be Peace; and the effect of righteousness Quietness And Assurance, forever.”
16 Salmon means “he who is numbered as (being) Peaceful.”
17 Boaz means “twice (as) strong” or “doubly strong”.
18 Rahab is “she who is wide and roomy”. In other words, not only was she a converted harlot, but a very fat one as well.
19 Obed means “the separation of Living Waters”. It appears to indicate a river fork: where one stream becomes two, rather than the removal of same; or may even indicate rainfall’s raindrops. Living waters are those waters carrying motion and momentum, that are also life or fresh water based, and represents the motion of walking or “halicho” (cf. the other Hebraic of “halakah”) in the Creation process of regeneration.
20 Ruth means “friend” or more specifically, “a female friend”. This is one of the women of the Bible who, along with: Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Deborah, and Mary; is a “type” or “character” example of the Holy Spirit.
21 Jesse means “YH’s Gift”.
22 David means “love that flows or boils over”. This is a reference to Genesis chapters 1-3, when GOD created Adam, he did so in an environment that was very hot, and at times, boiling over. Waters steam rose up from the ground and in a hothouse effect, nurtured the vegetation in a steam-house effect. GOD showed a particular affection toward Adam, whose name means, (when the Alef (א) is separately pronounced), “GOD’s Blood”: Alef - DaM (מד־א). This reference to humanity is the same as “My Son” into which GOD placed an extra Yod (י) in man to make his living separate and distinctive from the animals, by becoming an eternal Creation. Yod is an abbreviative, like the Alef, for GOD’s Name. While Alef (א) represents both Elohim and YHVeH, (the names of : “GOD” and “The LORD”), the Yod (י) is -- simply put -- the abbreviative of YH (הי). Thus, “YHVeH Messiah, the breath of our nostrils” in Lamentations 4:20, identifies that it is YHVeH who placed a sliver of His Spirit within the creature called man. Man then became a living extension of GOD, though separate and created from GOD, with the attributes of thought and reason and intelligence as from the Almighty, yet no greater in power than the angels. Thus the terminology of the Psalms, “I have said that you are gods, and are all children of the Most High”(Psalm 82:6), applies in the context of the Fatherhood of GOD and the Son- ship of redeemed mankind, who are vastly subservient and inferior to the Creator and will ever remain that way. They will only have the power to manipulate with the hands and the persuasion of verbal reason; and this privilege is only given to those who trust into YHVeH Messiah, and overcome the trials of this life; not to those ignoring GOD’s book and using deceptions to persuade themselves of deification already.
23 Solomon means “clothed in garments of Peace.” In 2 Samuel 12:25, he is also called Jedidiah. Jedidiah after היד ` יד ` י means “YH who descends and swoops like a falcon.” This is a clear indication of the Rapture’s effect in haliko (motion) of “snatching” believers away in the End Times. Jedidiah, after the feminine of “Yediyd”, means “beloved of YH”.
24 The literal translation of the shift -- in which Bathsheba was left out, because she was taken in adultery and through murder. Matthew displays an ultra-orthodox observant and Jewish bias against Bathsheba, because he is writing to convert an ultra-orthodox observant Jewish throng in Jerusalem prior to leaving the city for the last time. Matthew was martyred in Macedonia in November 56 A.D.
25 Uriah means “the Light of YH”. In particular, one of the two stones that rests on the High or First Priest’s shoulders. The plural of Uriah is Urim, as in the Urim and Thummin. Uriah can be either the “yes” stone or the “no” stone that is illuminated by the closed-ended questions the king and leaders asked of GOD, but directed to the garmented High Priest, in the Old Testament. An example, “Shall we go up to attack our enemies encamped against us at such and such a place?” The Uriah on the one shoulder would then radiate a laser like brilliance that could be seen over 20 miles away signaling a yes with its appropriate color (such as an amber), or it could signal a no from the other with its appropriate color (such as a red). According to Josephus, (Antiquities 3.7.5.), each Uriah (or sardonyx) bore the engravings of six letters each, one letter for each of the 12 sons of Jacob.
26 Rehoboam means “a spread out or wide and proud people.” In the singular, it may mean that Rehoboam was “a fat and arrogant “ baby, disliked by his father who had hundreds of wives, and hundreds more mistresses.
27 Abijah literally means “Father YH”; which in turn is terminology used often by the Protestant Christians in prayer to the Almighty, especially in multi-denominational settings with the words “Father GOD”.
28 Asa means “GOD’s measure.”
29 Jehosophat means “YH’s Judgment” or “YH’s Sentence (decree)”.
30 Jehoram means “YH’s highly elevated room.” This is a direct reference to Psalm 118:5 and the rapture deliverance of YH of his living saints to a safe and secret and roomy paradise habitation, while judgment is carried out upon the Earth.
31 Uzziah means “the strength and security of YH”.
32 Jotham means “YH’s complete innocence”.
33 Ahaz means “he who seizes and holds possession”.
34 Hezekiah means “the prevailing Power - Strength-and-Vehemence of YH”.
35 Manasseh means “he who drives away or pushes out a familiar chord (so as to cause one to forget)”; or could also be to the effect of “that one who causes one to forget the song of one’s green youth”. In effect, the joy of Manasseh’s presence in the moment, brought about the forgetfulness of longing for the past. This was both true of Joseph in Mitsraim (the narrow of bad straits, later known as Egypt); and of Hezekiah.
36 Amon means “a throng of people who are skilled in training”. The training of construction arts: such as carpentry and stone cutting. It also includes skill in the arts of wars.
37 Josiah means “the despair of YH”.
38 Jehoiachin means “YH will establish rightly”. In the lineage, which contains Jehoichin, there is the prophecy of one who succeeds the throne as being overseen by, but not born of Jehoichin’s ancestry. Much has been missed because of an incorrect metaphorical, rather than LITERAL translation of this prophecy. This actually foretells that Messiah would be overseen by one such as Joseph, of his lineage, even though Joseph’s name is not itself foretold.
Jeremiah states:
“O eretz, eretz, eretz! Hear and obey the WORD of YHVeH! This, is what YHVeH commands: inscribe (in you) this man as a watcher*of*the* irrigation*water*that* slakes*the*thirst*; the Mistress (shall) not push forward to come in the heat of his days. A burning brand which shall not be pushed forward from his posterity, a (First) Man who sits down (to Judge) on the Throne of David, and rules with dominion, and rules and rules from Judah.”
(Jeremiah 22:29-30, my translation)
In our current day, we popularly use the term “Eretz Israel” to say “the Land of Israel” (as covenanted by GOD): the Promised Land. In this passage of Jeremiah, the use of Eretz or “earth” or “land” three times over, covers the Covenant areas of the Living GOD, YHVeH, concerning that Eretz or “land of promise”. Eretz is first used of the Earth as a whole being under the dominion of man in Genesis 1. Some chapters later, Abraham is given a dominion from Egypt to the Euphrates. Then, the posterity of Abraham’s grandson is given the dominion of the land to which we now limit to west of the Jordan River, etc. This triple expression is used just after the question is asked, and to the effect: ‘Why is it that Jehoiachin and his posterity cast into a strange and foreign land, to be as an unpleasurable broken jar that is despised and shattered?’ (Jeremiah 22:28) The answer: that he may bring forth a descendant who is NOT Messiah, but a WATCHER over the Living Waters (i.e. YHVeH - Jeremiah 2:13, 17:13). Messiah: who will come forth of a mistress (a virgin - Isaiah 7:14); but who will NOT come in Jehoichin’s days, but at a time when Jehoichin’s days have been long dark and cold (i.e., far away or long ago). The term “burning brand” specifically identifies the rule of Messiah, the Living Waters, as YHVeH is also to be located as from Jerusalem (Zechariah 3:2). His ministry is carried over into the next chapter in Jeremiah 23:5-7.
In Gematria, the phonetics of Jerusalem can be broken down as such: Yod (י), is YH. Rosh-Vav (ור), is “that aspect or form that is seen and takes the shape of”, and is related to being lofty and elevated in ra’ah, as well as a spiritual gift and vision to come in Ro’eh. Samekh-Lamed-Mem (מלש) spell “Shalom”: that peace which is completeness in mind, and body, and heart. In other words, Jerusalem is literally like the one seen by John in Revelation 21:2-3; and Jehoichin’s descendant would be as a witness or “watcher” over He whose NAME is inscribed in it, and dwells and rules and rules and rules ever after. Like Jehoichin’s name implies, this descendant will be noteworthy as he who “establishes rightly.’ as a witness to the integrity of the birth of YHVeH Messiah. Amen.
39 The Greek uses μετοικεσιας, which is found in the genitive case. Based on the definition, it is a translation of the Hebrew idiom for a double negative for “a separation with separation” to Babylon; and is properly rendered as “to pluck up and remove” in an active sense implying force and motion. Hence, “plucking up and removal to”. Also cf. “plucking up and removal” with translations of Jeremiah 12:14-17, et al.
Babylon is the way of Baal or Bel, which both causes anxiety and wears away (until it hollows one out to be twice dead). It is directly linked to Babel, in which the imaginations of men formed an idealistic system, which gave distinction as to what did and did not have value, and commodity (for trade). Love, for example, cannot be bought and sold; but a sexual activity can. A piece of land for habitation can have value based on location and lust. Food has a definitive value for those who wish to not work for their own subsistence, etc. Genesis 10:9-10 and 11:1-9, reveals the nature of Babylon is contained in first in the lust of the flesh, in symbols of strength; then, in the lust of the eyes, in congested community and lofty towers; and finally, in the pride of life, in such a manner that is rebellious against the Almighty, as though fame to and of one another triumphs over the will of GOD by the boasts of having a “name” amongst one another. These are the secrets to the mysteries of this world system, and how it thinks and operates. Bodily appetites, propaganda in the form of visual illusions, and an explanation that gives moral excuse to live without accountability to GOD but also gives a greatness in accountability to and amongst other human beings.
41 Shealtiel means “that which is inquired and known of GOD in the Time before.” The time before can be the day before yesterday, or even as far ago as in those ages before the world and “time” actually began -- in what might be called billions and billions of years ago (from man’s perspective).
42 Zerubbabel means “he who (swiftly) flows away (or flees) from Babel.” Babel means “confusion” or an insanity that is associated with this world’s system. GOD is NOT the author of Babel or “confusion” (I Corinthians 14:33, Genesis 11:7-9), which also subsumes the activity of rejoicing in riotousness, revelry, drunkenness, fornication, insane notions, and the like.
43 Abiud means “Fatherly grandeur” or “the grandeur of the Father”.
44 Eliakim means “the GOD who rises up (again).” This name is prophetic and essential in the telling from beforehand of Christ’s coming resurrection.
Azor means “the all encompassing or surrounding help (or aid).” This ties in with GOD, who is also called the “Messenger (or Angel) of YHVeH” in Psalm 34:7. YHVeH adopts this title as Messenger only after his covenant with Abram, and firstly as the GOD of Abram who deals with Abram’s handmaiden Hagar, and her son Ishmael (Genesis 16:7), as one having Covenant authority OVER Abram and his wife Sarai. We also find the Messenger of YHVeH is YHVeH in Exodus 3:2, 14-15 as the GOD who covenanted with Abraham (Abram), Isaac, and Jacob. Abram receives his post Hagar and post-miracle or “Kingdom” name, while Jacob’s Kingdom name of “Israel” is withheld from him in this world. The mere fact that YHVeH calls himself “the GOD of…” makes Him, as it were, a Messenger, the Logos or Word of reasoning gone forth, or THE Angel of YHVeH in the same sense as the Creed puts it “very GOD of very GOD, being of ONE substance with the Father, begotten, not made.” The Athanasian apology uses the Greek “homoousios” in describing Christ’s internal and preincarnate and post-carnate internal state. Though becoming fully man, yet the spirit and soul aspect -- within the flesh among us we called as “Yeshua” or “Salvation” or “Jesus”, -- was indeed fully GOD, of one substance with and homoousios with the Father. The ministry of Christ, even as with YHVeH in the OLD Testament, is clearly as the Messenger of YHVeH Father.
The Old Testament verses are as follows:
THE ANGEL OF YHVEH: Genesis 16:7,9,10,11 and 22:11,15.
Exodus 3:2.
Numbers 22:22,23,24,25,26,27,31,32,34,35
Judges 2:1,4 5:23 6:11,12,21 (2x), 22 (2x)
13:3,13,15,16 (2x), 17,18,20,21 (2x)
2 Samuel 24:16
1 Kings 19:7
2 Kings 1:3,15. 19:35.
1 Chronicles 21:12,15,16,18,30.
Psalm 34:7. 35:5,6.
Isaiah 37:36.
Zechariah 1:11,12. 3:1,5,6. 12:8.
THE ANGEL OF GOD better translated as “THE MESSENGER OF GOD”
Genesis 21:17. 31:11 1 Samuel 29:9
Exodus 14:19 2 Samuel 14:17, 20. 19:27.
Judges 6:20. 13:6,9. (cf. with Malachi 2:7 & 3:1)
46 Sadok can also be written as “Zadok”, and “Tsadok”. It comes from the Hebrew word which means “to be Righteous’, “strait, narrow, level, and even.” Thus, Sadok means either “Righteousness” or “the Righteous One.”
47 Achim means “brother of brothers”.
48 Eliud means, after the Gematriac, “the GOD of Love” or “the GOD of David”.
49 Eleazar means “GOD whose Living Waters are the border Mouldings of His Crown.”
50 Matthan means “the slender gift or reward of the people of the Dragon.”
51 Jacob mean’s “YH’s heel”. cf. supra 6, above.
52 Joseph means “YH who is a (wine) cup or vessel.”
53 Miriam means “Distiller of the drops of myrrh.”
54 λεγομενος . Cf. with ta’ legomena in Luke 18:34 and Acts 8:6.
55 πασαι encompasses the concept of wholeness in the definition of “all”.
56 This sentence as translated by the full Greek expression of word pictures, show that Miriam (Mary) was about to be taken up by her husband when she was discovered with child. In all likelihood, it was either the appointed priest or it was the advance ambassador of the betrothed, Joseph’s best man, who would have the one who sought and inquired (as this verse tells us). It is not held against Eli, Miriam’s father, nor against Miriam herself, that she is pregnant. In fact, the conclusion points to Miriam as being part of a large household where she is never left alone. It also indicates that she is the oldest of at least several daughters, and surrounded by overprotective aunts, or like female relatives. If we read the passage correctly, there may be a suggestion that Miriam was sold to Joseph while as a child, prior to her reaching a state of maturity. This is supported by the tone of the following verse, 19, in which Joseph is spoken in the manner of an old or mature individual, and Miriam as but a young girl.
57 βουλομαι - is willingness, as found in the moment. That “will” which has intent and purpose and longevity, being a continuous and active expression, is “thelo” in the Greek. Boulomai is a mindful will that can change with a mood swing. This is exactly what was happening with Joseph.
58 ενθυμηθεντος : en - meaning “in”, and thumos - the mind that is racing in agitation, indignation, anger, wrath, etc. The scribes who are indignant, and think within how that Jesus blasphemes (Matthew 9:4), or those Pharisees who are hateful and indignant in their minds (Matthew 12:25) so as to call Jesus in league with Beelzebub, are further examples are the correctness of my translation of this verse.
59 φοβηθης - to terribly frighten. In the Classical Greek, Phobeo was used to describe those so terrified, that they ran away out of their minds with fear. The Hebrew “charada” is closely associated with this type of fear, which also is what is told the women at the Resurrection tomb in Matthew 28:5 - “Do not fear so as to run away!”
60 Isaiah 7:14
61 Actual literal translation of Μεθ ημων θεος. In this context, as in Matthew 26:58, Peter sits “in the midst of” the under-officers of the high priest, but not necessarily “with”.
62 διεγερθεις - “egeiro” which means ‘to rise up, to awake from sleep,’ -- intensified by “dia” -‘through’. Mark and Luke use this descriptive word to tell of how deep a slumber Jesus was in during the raging of the wind and sea of Galilee (Mark 4:38; Luke 8:24); while John applies it to the intensity of the sea itself, as if awoken from the sleep of calmness (John 8:18). This intensive of “egeiro” is used again in 2 Peter, where Peter is trying to shake the sloth and slumber from the weary minds of those who believe, that they might intensely become awake to the message he is imparting before he dies (2 Peter 1:13, 3:1).
63 προςεταζεν - to arrange by or through commands, and to set in order. In Matthew 21:6, the disciples follow the command and instruction of this word, set about to carry out the dictum: “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied up with a colt, untie them and bring them about and lead them to Me.” (Matthew 21:2)
