Matthew's Begats - Andrew Peterson

Abraham had Isaac

Isaac, he had Jacob

Jacob, he had Judah and his kin

Then Perez and Zerah

Came from Judah’s woman, Tamar

Perez, he brought Hezron up

And then came

Aram, then Amminadab

Then Nahshon, who was then the dad of Salmon

Who with Rahab fathered Boaz

Ruth, she married Boaz who had Obed

Who had Jesse

Jesse, he had David who we know as king

David, he had Solomon by dead Uriah’s wife

Solomon, well you all know him

He had good old Rehoboam

Followed by Abijah who had Asa

Asa had Jehoshaphat had Joram had Uzziah

Who had Jotham then Ahaz then Hezekiah

Followed by Manasseh who had Amon

Who was a man

Who was father of a good boy named Josiah

Who grandfathered Jehoiachin

Who caused the Babylonian captivity

Because he was a liar

Then he had Shealtiel, who begat Zerubbabel

Who had Abiud who had Eliakim

Eliakim had Azor who had Zadok who had Akim

Akim was the father of Eliud then

He had Eleazar who had Matthan who had Jacob

Now, listen very closely

I don’t want to sing this twice

Jacob was the father of Joseph

The husband of Mary

The mother of Christ

Abraham had Isaak

Isaac, hij had Jacob

Jacob, hij had Juda en zijn verwanten

Dan Perez en Zerah

Kwam van de vrouw van Juda, Tamar

Perez, hij heeft Hezron opgevoed

En toen kwam

Aram, dan Amminadab

Toen Nahshon, die toen de vader van Zalm was,

Wie met Rachab verwekte Boaz

Ruth, ze trouwde met Boaz die Obed had

Wie had Jesse?

Jesse, hij had David die we kennen als koning

David, hij had Salomo bij de overleden vrouw van Uria

Salomo, jullie kennen hem allemaal

Hij had goede oude Rehabeam

Gevolgd door Abia die Asa . had

Asa had Josafat gekregen Joram had Uzzia

Wie had Jotham dan Achaz dan Hizkia

Gevolgd door Manasse die Amon had

Wie was een man?

Wie was de vader van een goede jongen genaamd Josiah?

Wie was de grootvader van Jojachin?

Wie veroorzaakte de Babylonische ballingschap?

Omdat hij een leugenaar was

Toen had hij Sealtiël, die Zerubbabel verwekte

Wie had Abiud die Eliakim had?

Eliakim had Azor die Zadok had die Akim . had

Akim was toen de vader van Eliud

Hij had Eleazar die Matthan had die Jacob had

Luister nu heel goed

Ik wil dit niet twee keer zingen

Jacob was de vader van Joseph

De echtgenoot van Mary

De moeder van Christus
