New Testament
Matthat
An ancestor of Jesus Christ listed in the genealogy recorded in the Gospel of Luke.
Matthat is a name appearing twice in the Lukan genealogy of Jesus, once as the son of Levi and father of Heli, and again as the son of another Levi and father of Jorim. He is a link in the ancestral line tracing Jesus' lineage back to Adam and God. His inclusion serves to establish the humanity and historical legitimacy of Jesus as the promised Messiah.
