Jerome, on Matt 1:3
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 1:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And Judas begot Phares and Zara of Thamar. And Phares begot Esron. And Esron begot Aram.”
On this verse:
“It should be noted, that none of the holy women are taken into the Saviour’s genealogy, but rather such as Scripture has condemned, that He who came for sinners being born of sinners might so put away the sins of all; thus Ruth the Moabitess follows among the rest.”
