In the genealogy in the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is strategically placed following 3 sets of 14 names. With this structure, hearers are meant to recall the Sabbath Year and the Jubilee Year ordinances from Leviticus. Like the produce out of the ground which the sons of Israel were commanded not to sow nor prune, Jesus comes directly from God.
