What does the Bible say about the lineage of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible reveals that Christ's lineage is traced through the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15, continuing through the genealogies of Shem, Abraham, and Judah.

In Genesis 3:15, God promises enmity between the serpent and the woman, signifying the coming of a Savior through her lineage. This promise unfolds through the genealogies in Genesis, specifically through Shem, the son of Noah, indicating a divine purpose to preserve the royal seed. As the narrative progresses, we see that not every descendant is counted; only those through whom the seed will come are highlighted, signaling God's sovereign choice in ensuring the fulfillment of His promise. The lineage culminates in Judah, as prophesied by Jacob, indicating that the Savior, known as Shiloh, will come from Judah's line.
