Sommario/riassunto

Why does Matthew append 'and his brothers' to Judah and Jechoniah (1:2, 11)? Why does Matthew include the following four annotations: 'and Zerah by Tamar', 'by Rahab', 'by Ruth', and 'by the [wife] of Uriah' (1:3-6)? The title offers a look at the function of biblical genealogies, and the relationship between Matthew 1 and 28.
