《Jesus and number 14 》馬太耶穌家譜
An example from "New Testament in Jewish Background"
※An interpretation of ancient Jews.
*The number 14 is a clear example of a germatrian interpretation of the Jewish interpretation of assigning numbers to each Hebrew spelling.
For example, the first Hebrew letter Alef (א) has a numeric value of 1, the fourth character daret (ד) is a numeric value of 4, and the sixth character bob (ו) is a numeric value of 6.
Gematria shows the association between two words by calculating the numeric value of a particular word and then matching it with another word with exactly the same numerical value.
猶太人用希伯來文字母,代表數字,另用字母的排列造字。不同字的意義與代表的數字,與相同數目的字有相關的涵意,14就是一個明顯的例子。
14,第一個希伯來字母Alef(א)的數值為1,第四個字符daret(ד)的數值為4,第六個字符bob(ו)的數值為6。
一個字,用字母代表的數字,通過計算,得一數值,然後將其與具有完全相同數值的另一個字匹配,來思想兩個單字之間的關聯。

If so, why 14?
*Since Davids Hebrew name (דוד) has a value of 14, Matthew created a genealogy centered on the number 14. Darth (ד) + Bob (ו) + Dalot (ד) or 4 + 6 + 4 is 14. Also, David is the 14th name listed in the genealogy.
*The emphasis on David here is very natural. Matthew used the number 14 to connect Jesus with King David, and in this way shows his lineage in a unique Jewish way.
由於大衛的希伯來名字(דוד)的值為14,(ד)+(ו)+(ד)或4 + 6 + 4是14,馬太用了一個以數字14為中心的耶穌家譜、大衛是家譜中列出的第14個名字。
馬太在這裡強調大衛後裔是非常自然的;並以這種獨特的猶太方式,使用數字14,將耶穌與大衛王聯繫起來,顯示祂的血統。

太1:17這樣,從亞伯拉罕到大衛共有十四代;從大衛到遷至巴比倫的時候也有十四代;從遷至巴比倫的時候到基督又有十四代。

※Discover the Jewish background
For the Jews of the first century, both numbers and genealogy were important. Therefore, using this number to connect David with Jesus was of course a very important issue.
Enrolling in the upcoming "New Testament Bible with Jewish Background" process will allow you to further deepen your knowledge of the New Testament Jewish theology, history, language and archaeological background.
對於第一世紀的猶太人來說,數字和家譜都很重要。 因此,使用這個數字將大衛王與耶穌聯繫起來當然是一個非常重要的問題。
參加「新約聖經與猶太背景」課程,將使您進一步加深對新約猶太神學,歷史,語言和考古背景的了解。
