Naasson identifies a person within the genealogical links recorded in Matthew and Luke.

The attested forms identify Naasson as an individual named in genealogical succession: Matthew 1:4 places him between Amminadab and Salmon, while Luke 3:32 includes him in a chain leading through Sala, Boaz, Obed, and Jesse.

   In Matthew 1:4, the accusative singular masculine forms occur in the clauses that Amminadab begot Nahshon and Nahshon begot Salmon; the APB renders the sequence "Amminadab then begot Nahshon. Nahshon then begot Salmon." In Luke 3:32, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in the repeated "son of" chain, which the APB renders "the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon."

   Matthew 1:4Luke 3:32

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Nahshon" in both genealogical formats: as one who is begotten and begets in Matthew 1:4, and as a member of a "son of" sequence in Luke 3:32. The verse is read as a whole, but both verses plainly place the term within these family-line statements.
