Moses names both man and woman together under one name to teach that marriage is a sacred, inseparable bond. Husband and wife are like one person, and we must cherish this union as our first parents did. God's blessing on them was wonderful, yet men's wickedness has interrupted it.
AI summary
This genealogy traces the holy seed through whom Christ came in the flesh. Mark well: man is not his own maker and therefore not his own master; God who made him must direct him. Male and female both bear God's likeness, so between the sexes there is no great inequality as some falsely imagine.
