NABRE: The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
NJB: Roll of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
KJV: The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
All of these translations refer to the physical type of object, but what we have here is the written record. It’s less important that it’s “inner bark,” book, or scroll.
