After the ten references of “toledoot” in the book of Genesis, there is another one: the eleventh. Matthew was a Jew and wrote his Gospel for the Jews in particular. He knew his Bible. He knew the book of Genesis as the book of the toledoot. He wrote his Gospel as a toledoot too. In most translations Matthew 1:1 is translated as A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham. The same goes for the title above Matthew 1:1–17. The Greek text of Matthew 1:1 is “book of the (Greek:) “genesis” of Jesus Christus, son of David, son of Abraham.” The Greek word “genesis” is translated in Hebrew as “toledoot.” So we read Matthew 1:1 “book of the ‘toledoot’ of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.” That is the title above the whole Gospel of twenty‑eight chapters! And indeed, in the end we see Jesus Christ, son of David and son of Abraham:

• Matthew 28:18 reads: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. And Matthew 28:20 says, And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Jesus Christ, son of David, King of kings! The ultimate King from David’s house! See also 2 Samuel 7:16 and the whole chapter.

• Matthew 28:19–20 says, Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. The fulfillment of the promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3 all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the ultimate son of Abraham!
