The need for keeping a record of lineage was seen in the first prophecy, where God foretold a "seed," or offspring, that would deliver mankind. (Gen. 3:15) About 2,000 years later, because of Abraham's great faith, God favored him with the promise that the seed would come in his line of descent. (Gen. 22:17, 18) In time, the line of the promise was narrowed down to Judah, one of the 12 sons of Jacob and the great-grandson of Abraham, then, further, to King David's line. (Gen. 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:8, 12-16) Jesus' human birth met all these qualifications, for he was acknowledged as being of the tribe of Judah and the son of David. (Matthew 9:27; 2 Timothy 2:8; Hebrews 7:14)
