Matthew 1:1
The book of the + 1:1 (+1:6, +1:12) MP: Messiah is descendant of David (Matt 1:6) without a curse – Matthew is Joseph’s Genealogy and Luke is Mary’s genealogy. The significance is in Joseph’s lineage, a man named Jeconiah (Matt 1:12). God cursed Jeconiah (Jer 22:24) who is also called Coniah (1 Chr 3:16-17). The curse states that no descendant of his will ever sit on the throne of David, “For no man of his descendants will prosper sitting on the throne of David or ruling again in Judah (Jer 22:30; 1 Chr 17:11-14)”. Messiah is of the “seed of woman” (Gen 3:15) and therefore not under the curse found in Joseph’s line, though Joseph is an upright man who was redeemed in likeness of the tribe of Levi being redeemed from the “curse” on their tribe’s origin (Gen 49:5-7; Deut 33:8-11).

(Luke 3:32) A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse [My husband], 2 and a + 11:1. MP: Messiah will grow up in Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]. This is known because the Hebrew word netzer ·branch· is used here. This is the only prophecy that says Messiah will come from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]. (Consider illusion in Is 53:2). In the parallel fulfillment verse, the Greek word for Nazarene is Nazaphnoe, coming from the Aramaic word for twig or branch. Note on the Greek: The Greek word for a citizen of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one] is Nazarethaios. But Matthew uses Nazaphnoe ·branch·, not Nazarethaios [a person from Nazareth]. The King James Version of the Bible, published in 1611, translates the original Greek word as “a person from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]” regional but modern scholars now believe this translation to be incorrect. The Bible and Matthew both make it clear Yeshua was a “citizen of Nazareth,” of Galilee, in Judea. (Matt 2:22b-23) netzer ·branch· out of + 11:1.
