The footnote in the concordance of my bible hypothesizes on it as being part of the theme throughout Matthew. The author has an artistic touch to this gospel and also displays a fondness of numbers. So it's more style than significance. The link below also discusses the fact that David is listed twice in this count and therefore an exact count of the generations is only 41. The link explains it a little better. http://www.johnankerberg.org/Articles/_PDFArchives/bible-for-dummies/BD3W0303.pdf That’s a great question Russ.
