Ram
The name "Ram" in Hebrew is רָם, which means "high" or "exalted." This name reflects a position of honor and significance within the genealogical line of Judah. Ram is an ancestor of King David, and ultimately, of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the divine orchestration in the lineage leading to the Messiah. The name itself suggests a person of stature and importance, setting the stage for the notable descendants that follow.

was the father of
This phrase indicates a direct paternal lineage, a common structure in biblical genealogies. It underscores the importance of family heritage and the transmission of faith and covenant promises through generations. In the Hebrew context, genealogies were not merely records of ancestry but were also theological affirmations of God's faithfulness to His people.

Amminadab
The name "Amminadab" in Hebrew is עַמִּינָדָב, meaning "my kinsman is noble" or "people of the prince." Amminadab is a significant figure as he is part of the lineage that leads to the Davidic monarchy. His name reflects the nobility and leadership expected of those in the line of Judah, pointing to the royal and priestly roles his descendants would fulfill.

and Amminadab was the father of
This repetition of the phrase emphasizes the continuity and reliability of God's promises through successive generations. It highlights the faithfulness of God in preserving the line through which He would bring about His redemptive plan.

Nahshon
Nahshon, נַחְשׁוֹן in Hebrew, means "enchanter" or "oracle." He is noted as a leader during the Exodus, specifically as the head of the tribe of Judah. Nahshon's role as a leader during a pivotal moment in Israel's history underscores the leadership qualities and divine favor associated with the tribe of Judah. His position as a forebear of David and Jesus further cements his importance in the biblical narrative.

the leader of the sons of Judah
This phrase highlights Nahshon's prominent role as a prince or chief among the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Judah holds a special place in biblical history, being the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would come. The leadership of Nahshon during the wilderness journey signifies the beginning of Judah's ascendancy among the tribes of Israel, fulfilling Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:10 that the scepter would not depart from Judah.

I.--(10-17) The descent of David from Amminadab, of the house of Ram. The royal line naturally takes precedence of the other two. Ruth 4:18-22 gives this line from Pharez to David. (Compare the genealogies of Christ, Matthew 1 and Luke 3) Nahshon is called chief of Judah in Num. ii 3 (comp. 1Chronicles 1:7; 1Chronicles 7:12), at the time of the Exodus.

(11) Salma.--So in Ruth 4:20; but in 1Chronicles 2:21, Matthew 1:4, and Luke 3:32, Salmon. . . .

Verses 10-15. - (B) Ram (the Aram of the Septuagint and of Matthew 1:3; Luke 3:33) is taken first in order, at once to push on the lineage of Judah to the great landmark DAVID, who is reached at the seventh generation from Ram (Ruth 4:19-22; Matthew 1:3-5; Luke 3:31-33), his name being ranked last of seven brothers only, sons of Jesse.
