A tesseradecad is an arrangement into groups of fourteen.
Symmetrical arrangements of texts and genealogies into tesseradecads were common Jewish customs. One example is the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the book of Luke and in the book of Matthew. Some names have been omitted in order to create tesseradecads in both genoalogies.
