Matthew 1:1 — 'The book of the generation of Yeshua HaMashiach, the son of David, the son of Avraham' — the verse that opens the entire genealogy and frames Yeshua as its goal, explicitly naming the two endpoints of its longest spans: Avraham (this dataset's earlier Messianic-spine work) and David (genealogy_position 33 in this dataset)
Luke 1:31–33 — Gavriel's annunciation to Miryam: 'thou shalt call his name YESHUA... he shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and Yah shall give unto him the throne of his father David... and of his kingdom there shall be no end' — directly invoking the Davidic covenant of 2 Samuel 7:12–16
Luke 2:1–7 — born in Beit-Lechem of Yehudah, the city of David (cf. Micah 5:2), during the reign of Caesar Augustus and the census under Quirinius
Matthew 2:1–12 — visited by magi from the east following a star, who brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh
Matthew 2:13–18 — Herod's slaughter of the children of Beit-Lechem prompted Yosef and Miryam to flee with him to Egypt
Luke 2:21–52 — circumcised on the eighth day per the Torah; presented at the Temple, where Shimon and Channah the prophetess recognized him; at twelve, found in the Temple courts 'about his Father's business'
Luke 3:23–38 — Luke's genealogy, given at the start of Yeshua's ministry, is the one place in scripture that traces his ancestry all the way back to 'Adam, which was the son of God' — the scriptural warrant for this dataset's overall Adam-to-Yeshua structure (genealogy_position 1–64), even though, as documented throughout this batch, Luke's specific names for the intermediate post-exilic generations differ from the Matthew 1:13–16 spine this dataset has followed
This entry completes the Messianic spine described in familytree.md section 0: 'these entries make the line from Adam to Yeshua queryable end-to-end.' Yeshua's adult ministry, teaching, death, and resurrection are intentionally out of scope for this genealogical entry and are earmarked for this dataset's planned 'major narrative figures' batches (familytree.md Part 1, sections 1–3 Batches 1–5)
“'The book of the generation of Yeshua HaMashiach, the son of David, the son of Avraham' (Matthew 1:1) — sixty-four generations from Adam, the spine this dataset set out to make queryable end-to-end is now complete”
Traditional note: (1) New line_status convention: 'Messianic-line-terminus' is introduced here, as none of this dataset's existing line_status values ('Direct-ancestor-of-Yeshua', 'Messianic-line-sibling', 'Notable-descendant', 'Outsider-joined') fit Yeshua himself — he is the terminus the entire spine has been built toward, not an ancestor of himself. This is flagged here for the maintainer's review, per the standing instruction not to invent field values without flagging them; the new value is modeled on the existing 'Messianic-line-sibling' pattern. (2) yeshua.father is set to 'yosef-mi-natzeret', completing the genealogical chain as Matthew 1:1–16 presents it (Yosef is the spine's terminus before Yeshua, and Matthew explicitly frames the whole chapter as 'the generation of Yeshua'). This reflects the dataset's genealogical/legal framing, not a claim about biological conception: Matthew 1:18–25 and Luke 1:34–35 both explicitly attribute Yeshua's conception to the Ruach ha-Kodesh rather than to Yosef, a point already discussed at length in 'yosef-mi-natzeret'. (3) The title 'son of David' (Matthew 1:1, Luke 1:32, and throughout the Gospels, e.g. Matthew 9:27, 21:9) and 'son of Avraham' (Matthew 1:1) together bookend this dataset's entire Messianic-spine project: the Avraham-to-David portion (genealogy_position 20–33) and the David-to-Yeshua portion (33–64) are the two halves Matthew 1:1 names explicitly, and Luke 3:38's further extension to 'Adam... son of God' is this dataset's warrant for beginning the whole spine at genealogy_position 1 (Adam) in the master file rather than at Avraham. (4) This entry's scope is deliberately narrow — the genealogical/infancy material that completes the spine — and does not attempt the far larger task of modeling Yeshua's adult ministry, which belongs to this dataset's separately-planned 'major narrative figures' batches (see notable_events).
