Matthew 1: The listed genealogy of Jesus connects Jewish (Old Testament) history & prophesy with the New Testament Messiah. Interestingly though, being conceived of the Holy Spirit as Joseph "knew her not" indicates the Abrahamic/Davidic descendance may not be naturally genetic.

It's also notable that patriarchal rules are broken by naming five women in this genealogy, arguably of questionable reputation and/or heroic action.

Joseph, through his obedience, proves that he fears God more than he fears Man.

“Blessed are the meek." - Matthew 5:5a

Fearing & Obeying God are my key takeaways from the Wisdom book of Ecclesiastes.
