Ruth 4:13-22

13So BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she becameH1961 his wifeH802. And when he had relations withH935 herH413, the LORDH3068 enabledH5414 her to conceiveH2032, and she gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121.

14Then the womenH802 saidH559 toH413 NaomiH5281, “BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, whoH834 has notH3808 leftH7673 you this dayH3117 without a kinsman-redeemerH1350. May his nameH8034 become famousH7121 in IsraelH3478. 15He will renewH1961H7725 your lifeH5315 and sustain youH3557 in your old ageH7872. ForH3588 your daughter-in-lawH3618, whoH834 lovesH157 you and is betterH2896 to you than sevenH7651 sonsH1121, has given him birthH3205.”

16And NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the childH3206, placed himH7896 on her lapH2436, and becameH1961 a nurseH539 to him. 17The neighborH7934 women saidH559, “A sonH1121 has been bornH3205 to NaomiH5281H7121H8034,” and they namedH7121 him ObedH5744. HeH1931 became the fatherH1 of JesseH3448, the fatherH1 of DavidH1732.
