Please notice in verse 2 it states in part Abraham begate Isaac, and Isaac begate Iacob.... Begate is another word for begotten. A direct decendant of another. Jesus is the only (exclusive) begotten son of God. Clearly noted in 1 JO 4:9 . 9 By this the love of God was made manifest in our case, because God sent forth his only-begotten Son into the world that we might gain life through him. More conclusive proof that Jesus (while he is most important to our everlasting life) is not God the Almighty, but the direct representation of Him. Clearer still is John 17:3 . 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. You have to ask the question, does this in any way suggest that the Christ sent himself? Or was he in fact sent by someone else?
