In Matthew 1:4, the accusative singular forms occur in the sequence in which Ram begets Aminadab and Aminadab begets Nahshon; the APB renders the clause “Ram then begot Amminadab. Amminadab then begot Nahshon.” In Luke 3:33, the genitive singular form appears in a repeated son-of sequence, rendered by the APB as “the son of Amminadab.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Amminadab” in both verses, within a begetting statement in Matthew 1:4 and a son-of sequence in Luke 3:33. It chiefly confirms the genealogical setting.
