Matthew 1

1 The book of the generation of Yeshua the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Avraham.
2 Avraham became the father of Yitzchak. Yitzchak became the father of Ya`akov. Ya`akov became the father of Yehudah and his brothers.
3 Yehudah became the father of Peretz and Zerach by Tamar. Peretz became the father of Hetzron. Hetzron became the father of Ram.
4 Ram became the father of `Amminadav. `Amminadav became the father of Nachshon. Nachshon became the father of Salmon.
5 Salmon became the father of Bo`az by Rachav. Bo`az became the father of `Oved by Rut. `Oved became the father of Yishai.
6 Yishai became the father of David the king. David became the father of Shlomo by her who had been the wife of Uriyah.
7 Shlomo became the father of Rechav`am. Rechav`am became the father of Aviyah. Aviyah became the father of Asa.
8 Asa became the father of Yehoshafat. Yehoshafat became the father of Yoram. Yoram became the father of `Uzziyah.
9 `Uzziyah became the father of Yotam. Yotam became the father of Achaz. Achaz became the father of Hizkiyahu.
10 Hizkiyahu became the father of Menashsheh. Menashsheh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Yoshiyahu.
11 Yoshiyahu became the father of Yekhonyah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Bavel.
12 After the exile to Bavel, Yekhonyah became the father of She'alti'el. She'alti'el became the father of Zerubbavel.
13 Zerubbavel became the father of Avichud. Avichud became the father of Elyakim. Elyakim became the father of Azur.
14 Azur became the father of Tzadok. Tzadok became the father of Yakhin. Yakhin became the father of Eliud.
15 Eliud became the father of El`azar. El`azar became the father of Mattan. Mattan became the father of Ya`akov.
16 Ya`akov became the father of Yosef, the husband of Miryam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.
17 So all the generations from Avraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Bavel fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Bavel to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this; because when his mother, Miryam, had been engaged to Yosef, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Ruach HaKodesh.
19 Yosef, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Yosef, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Miryam, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Ruach HaKodesh.
21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Yeshua, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, And shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanu'el;" Which is, being interpreted, "God with us."
24 Yosef arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 and didn't know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.
