Oh so that's why Matthew made such a big deal about fourteen generations. I'd always wondered that.
I told you before: The Gospel of Matthew is directed towards Jews. It was aimed at making every prophecy come true and making it appear that Jesus's entire existence was a miracle of God. Hence the 14 (which of course, is the sacred number of 7 doubled...therefore twice as sacred [and 21 is considered a special number because its sacred 7 times sacred 3]).
