17 list the ancestors of Jesus Christ.

the son of David, the son of Abraham

Alternate translation: "a descendant of David, who was a descendant of Abraham." There were many generations between Abraham and his descendant David, and between David and his descendant Jesus. "Son of David" is used as a title in Matthew 9:27 and other places, but here it seems to be used only to identify Jesus' ancestry.

Abraham was the father of Isaac

Alternate translation: "Abraham became the father of Isaac" or "Abraham had a son Isaac" or "Abraham had a son named Isaac." It may be more clear for your readers if you choose one way of saying this and use it throughout the rest of the list.

Tamar

Languages that have masculine and feminine forms of names should use a feminine form for her name.
