    In Luke 3:24, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in the clause naming a son of Matthat within a chain of fathers and sons; the APB renders the sequence "the son of Matthat, the son of Levi." In Luke 3:29, the same form again marks Matthat in the ancestry chain, rendered "the son of Matthat, the son of Levi."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name as "Matthat" in repeated "the son of" ancestry clauses. The verse is read as a whole, but its wording confirms the name's place in each sequence.
