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 build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: (4:11) And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman (4:12) So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son (4:13) And the 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 (4:14) 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 better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him (4:15) And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it (4:16) And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David (4:17) Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, (4:18) And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, (4:19) And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, (4:20) And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, (4:21) And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David
(4:22)
