   In Matthew 1:11, the genitive singular form places Josiah's descendants in relation to the Babylon displacement; in Matthew 1:12, the accusative singular follows “After” as the point before Jechoniah's line continues. In Matthew 1:17, the same event marks the division between the periods from David and toward the Christ; the APB renders these clauses with “the deportation of Babylon.”

   Matthew 1:11Matthew 1:12Matthew 1:17

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 1:11, Matthew 1:12, and Matthew 1:17, the APB presents the event as “the deportation of Babylon,” including temporal relations “upon,” “After,” and “away from.” The verse is read as a whole, but it consistently treats the term as the named event framing the genealogy.
