I'm with JDM-GBG and yourself: the genealogy here is telescoped, i.e. generations have been omitted, and this is common practice in the Scriptures. Rather than repeat the work of Dr John Millam I will just refer you to his online article "The Genesis Genealogies - are they complete?" which looks at many genealogies in Scripture. An especially interesting verse in this respect is Exodus 6:20, which can be compared with Numbers 3:27,28. See also 1 Chronicles 6:1-3.
