Berean Study Bible

the son of Jacob
This phrase connects Jesus to Jacob, also known as Israel, the patriarch whose twelve sons became the tribes of Israel. The name "Jacob" in Hebrew is "Ya'akov," meaning "supplanter" or "holder of the heel." Jacob's life was marked by struggles and transformation, symbolizing the journey of faith and the fulfillment of God's promises. His inclusion in Jesus' genealogy emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant with Israel and the fulfillment of the promises made to the patriarchs.

the son of Isaac
Isaac, whose name means "laughter" in Hebrew, was the child of promise born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age. His life is a testament to God's faithfulness and the miraculous nature of His promises. Isaac's near-sacrifice by Abraham on Mount Moriah is a profound foreshadowing of Christ's sacrificial death. This connection highlights the theme of substitutionary atonement and God's provision of a sacrificial lamb, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

the son of Abraham
Abraham, originally Abram, is a central figure in the Bible, known as the "father of many nations." His name means "father of a multitude" in Hebrew. God's covenant with Abraham included the promise that through his offspring, all nations would be blessed. This promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who brings salvation to all people. Abraham's faith and obedience serve as a model for believers, illustrating the righteousness that comes by faith.

the son of Terah
Terah, Abraham's father, represents the transition from idolatry to the worship of the one true God. His name, possibly meaning "station" or "delay," reflects the period of waiting and preparation before God's call to Abraham. Terah's journey from Ur to Haran sets the stage for Abraham's call to the Promised Land. This highlights the theme of leaving behind the old life and stepping into God's promises, a journey that every believer is called to undertake.

the son of Nahor
Nahor, Terah's father, is part of the genealogical line that traces back to Shem, one of Noah's sons. His name means "snorting" or "snoring," possibly indicating rest or a period of dormancy. Nahor's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the continuity of God's plan through generations. It reminds us that God's purposes unfold over time, often through ordinary lives and seemingly insignificant events, culminating in the extraordinary revelation of Jesus Christ.
