Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records a genealogical sequence for the tribe of Judah during the post-exilic compilation of Israel’s tribal history, linking Nahshon to Salmon and Salmon to Boaz.
The words — The Hebrew term הוֹלִיד (ho.Lid) literally means “he fathered,” and שַׂלְמָא (sal.Ma') denotes Salma, confirming direct paternal succession in the text.
The thread — This lineage appears in Ruth 4:21, Matthew 1:4, and Luke 3:32 as the documented ancestral line leading from Judah to David and the Messiah.
Why it lands — The text demands recognition of an unbroken ancestral record, establishing tribal identity and providing the documented framework for later messianic claims.
