This Matthat entry appears in Luke 3:24 as the father of Heli, not as the other Matthat in Luke 3:29. He belongs to the long ancestral chain through which Luke presents the humanity of Christ. First appears in Luke 3:24.1
AI summary: This Matthat matters because his single cross reference helps carry Luke's genealogy through otherwise quiet generations. The entry contributes to the evangelist's portrayal of Jesus as rooted in real human history rather than abstract myth. Taken together, the material presents this Matthat as a genealogical figure in Luke's line of descent.1
