Senses in use

  1. Personal name in a begetting sequence · dominant

    In Matthew 1:8, the accusative singular masculine forms occur in the clauses naming the one begotten by Asaph and the one who then begot Joram. The APB renders the sequence, “Asaph then begot Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat then begot Joram.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 1:8, the APB presents the name twice in the linked statements “Asaph then begot Jehoshaphat” and “Jehoshaphat then begot Joram.” The verse is read as a whole, though the repeated name matches the verse's sequence.
