Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive demonstrative toutou {τούτου | toú-tou} “of this,” which, in context, refers back to David and functions as a genitive of relationship modifying spermatos {σπέρματος | spé-rma-tos} “seed, offspring.”
The prepositional phrase apo tou spermatos {ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος | a-pó toû spé-rma-tos} uses a genitive of source, marking the messianic figure as arising “from” David’s line.
