Is it true that Abram Isaac Jacob and Judah mentioned in genealogy list of Matthew and Luke were not real people but names of tribes of people?
Erupamsalp
No. Abram, whose name was changed by God to Abraham, was the father of Isaac. (See Gen. 21.) Isaac was the father of Jacob. (See Gen. 25:19 and the following verses.) Isaac had 12 sons who, roughly speaking, gave their names to the 12 tribes of the Israelites. One of those sons was named Judah, and his descendants, generally speaking, were members of the tribe of Judah. (See Gen. 49 where Jacob blesses his sons, but is also making prophecies about the tribes that will be named for each of them.)
