SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 1:5

1:5a

by Rahab: The Greek grammar in this phrase is the same as in the phrase “by Tamar” in 1:3. You should translate this phrase in a similar way. For example:

whose mother was Rahab (New International Version)
-or-
(his mother was Rahab) (Good News Translation)

-or-

His mother was Rahab
