Abstract
The Abraham-motive in Matthew 1-4 Matthew’s indication of Jesus as the Son of David and the Son of Abraham develop along two lines in Matthew’s story. Firstly, is Jesus portrayed as the Son of David, who represents the “Jewish” line in the story. And secondly Matthew is using Jesus as Son of Abraham to develop the “gentile” line in the story. Matthew uses the Abraham motives in chapters 1-4 to illustrate the inclusion of the gentiles into the new people of God. Under discussion are the gentile women in the genealogy and other possible motives that reflect the story of Abraham.

Volgens tradisies in die Testament van die Twaalf Patriarge en die Boek van Jubilieë was sy afkomstig van Aram, die land van Abraham, Rebekka, Lea en Ragel
Dus kan ons sê dat haar invoeging in die geslagregister van Matteus nie is omdat sy die moeder was van een van die manlike voorgeslagte van die Messias nie*
Summary
Vergelykende studies tussen Matteus, Paulus en Jakobus is nog lank nie uitgedien nie. In die sentrum is die vraag na die posisie en geldigheid van die wet vir die christengelowige. Paulus leun swaar op die Abrahamtradisie cm sy standpunt oor die einde van die geldigheid van die wet, te steun (vgl Rom 4; 9-11; Gal [3,4]). Paulus gebruik die voorbeeld van Abraham, omdat Abraham voor die wet geleef het, en dit Paulus se argument ondersteun het. Jakobus verwys nie na Abraham nie, maar verdedig die blywende gel digheid van die wet. Dit is verstaanbaar dat Matteus wat ook die geldigheid van die wet beklemtoon, nie eintlik veel kere na Abraham verwys nie. Tog is Jesus as seun van Abraham, klaarblyklik een van die sleutels waarmee die Matteusevangelie verstaan moet word (vgl Matt 1:1,17). In hierdie studie gaan gekyk word na ’n paar moontlike Abraham-motiewe in Matteus [1,2,3,4] en wat Matteus se bedoeling was om hierdie motiewe in te sluit
