Ruth 4:9–22

9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was jChilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi. 10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, jthe wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, kto raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did lbuild the house of Israel: and ||do thou worthily in mEphratah, and †be famous in Beth-lehem: 12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, nwhom Tamar bare unto Judah, of othe seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.

13 So Boaz ptook Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, qthe Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son. 14 And rthe women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not †left thee this day without a ||kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. 15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and †a nourisher of †thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is sbetter to thee than seven sons, hath born him. 16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. 17 tAnd the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son uborn to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: wPharez begat Hezron, 19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, 20 And Amminadab begat xNahshon, and Nahshon begat ||Salmon, 21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
