and from the exile toward Babel to the anointed, fourteen generations.
4B 3d 40

Verse 4 is direct from Ruth with a spelling difference for Salmah. Note that the versification being different, the music is necessarily different. All other verses of successions in Ruth are similar to this.
Ruth 4:22 
Some of the other births I cannot find in TNK. I found no progeny for Yakin. Elihud is not in TNK. (I didn't look very hard) Anyone help me here?

Note how the first verse starts with an ornament, implicitly continuing TNK and showing Matthew's dependence on what has come before. (Now, of course, I am dealing with a person born less than a century before I was and not at least a millennium before. It is likely that Margoliuth is following convention with no inkling of the music - though he would have known a local cantillation tradition. Would he have observed, Deuteronomy, Job, Psalms and Proverbs as being the only books to start with a non-default accent?)
