The Key Word — Ἰεσσαὶ, Iessaigenerated
The word Ἰεσσαί refers to Jesse, the father of King David. It is a proper noun and is indeclinable, meaning it does not change form. Jesse is an important figure in the genealogy of Jesus, emphasizing His royal lineage.
In this genealogy, Jesse's mention serves to connect Jesus to the Davidic line, which is crucial for understanding His role as the Messiah. The presence of Jesse in this lineage underscores the fulfillment of God's covenant with David.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree on the genealogy presented in this verse, consistently naming Jesse as the father of Obed, who is the father of Boaz, and so on.
However, the KJV includes additional phrases like 'Which was' before each name, while other translations, such as the BSB and WEB, present the names in a more straightforward manner.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around a series of noun phrases connected by the verb 'to be' implied in the genealogy. The main subject is the lineage of Jesus, with each name serving as a descriptor in the genealogical chain.
The finite verb is implied, as the genealogy lists the ancestors in a straightforward manner without explicit verbs connecting each name.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
Ἰεσσαί appears in the Septuagint as the Greek rendering of the Hebrew name יִשַׁי (Yishai), which refers to Jesse, the father of David. This connection is significant as it roots Jesus' lineage in the Old Testament narrative.
The names listed in this genealogy, including Jesse, are part of the broader narrative found in the Hebrew Scriptures that establishes the importance of David's line.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 3:32 shows that Jesus is descended from Jesse, Obed, Boaz, Sala, and Nahshon. This genealogy connects Jesus to important figures in Israel's history, emphasizing His role as the fulfillment of God's promises.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Jesse is significant because he is the father of King David, and Jesus' lineage is traced through David, fulfilling God's promise to establish David's throne forever.
The genealogy reveals Jesus' connection to significant figures in Israel's history, highlighting His role as the Messiah and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
While both genealogies trace Jesus' lineage, Matthew's focuses on Joseph's line and includes different names, emphasizing Jesus' legal right to the throne, while Luke's emphasizes His biological lineage.
Tracing Jesus' ancestry is important as it establishes His credentials as the Messiah and fulfills the prophecies concerning the lineage of David.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- How does understanding Jesus' genealogy deepen your appreciation for His role as the Messiah?
- What can we learn from the lives of the ancestors mentioned in this genealogy?
- In what ways does Jesus' lineage demonstrate God's faithfulness to His promises?
- How can we apply the significance of Jesus' ancestry to our understanding of our own spiritual heritage?

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
qui fuit Jesse, qui fuit Obed, qui fuit Booz, qui fuit Salmon, qui fuit Naasson,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Counted over the 12 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word Βόες (transliterated as Booz) is a proper noun referring to Boaz, an Israelite figure mentioned in the Bible. It is indeclinable and derived from Hebrew. The term appears in genealogies in Matthew 1:5 and Luke 3:32, with some variations in spelling noted among lexicons.

bo'-az (bo`az; Booz; "quickness" (?) Ru 2-4; 1Ch 2:11,12; Mt 1:5; Lu 3:32):
(1) A resident of Bethlehem and kinsman of Elimelech, Naomi's husband. In Ru 2:1 he is described as a gibbor chayil, a phrase which can mean either "a mighty man of valor" or else "a man of position and wealth." The latter is probably the sense in which the phrase is applied to Boaz (compare 1Sa 9:1). He had fields outside the town, and to them Ru went to glean. Boaz noticed her and extended special kindness and protection to her, bidding her remain with his female workers, and charging the men not to illtreat her, and also giving her of the reapers'…
Boaz
Alacrity. (1.) The husband of Ruth, a wealthy Bethlehemite. By the “levirate law” the duty devolved on him of marrying Ruth the Moabitess (Ruth 4:1-13). He was a kinsman of Mahlon, her first husband.
(2.) The name given (for what reason is unknown) to one of the two (the other was called Jachin) brazen pillars which Solomon erected in the court of the temple (1 Kings 7:21; 2 Chr. 3:17). These pillars were broken up and carried to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar.
(fleetness). A wealthy Bethlehemite kinsman to Elimelech the husband of Naomi. He married Ruth, and redeemed the estates of her deceased husband Mahlon. (Ruth 4:1) Boaz is mentioned in the genealogy of Christ, (Matthew 1:5) (B.C. 1250, but there is great difficulty in assigning his date.) The name of one of Solomon’s brazen pillars erected in the temple porch. [JACHIN] It stood on the left, and was eighteen cubits high. (1 Kings 7:15; 21; 2 Chronicles 3:15; Jeremiah 52:21)
Ru 2:1, a wealthy Bethlehemite, a descendant of Judah, through whom is traced the regular succession of Jewish kings, Mt 1:5. His conduct in the case of Ruth proves him to have been a man of fine spirit and of strict integrity. He admitted the claim which Ruth had upon him as a near kinsman: under the obligations of the Levitical law, he married the poor gleaner, and thus became one of the ancestors of David, and also of David’s Son and Lord. He was the father of Obed, Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse of David. The whole narrative is a beautiful picture of the simplicity of the age, when artificial courtesies had not usurped the place of natural and sincere expressions of love.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word Σαλά (transliterated as *Sala*) is a proper name of Hebrew origin, referring to a patriarch. It appears in the New Testament in Luke 3:32 and 35. The entries consistently identify it as indeclinable and note its connection to the Hebrew name שָׁלַח (Shelach).

Counted over the 5 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.
