11 And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. ^aThe Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who ^bbuilt the house of Israel; and may you prosper in ^cEphrathah and be famous in ^dBethlehem.

12 May your house be like the house of ^aPerez, ^bwhom Tamar bore to Judah, because of ^cthe offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman.”

Descendants of Boaz and Ruth

13 So Boaz ^atook Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, ^bthe Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

14 Then ^athe women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a¹ close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!

15 And may he be to you a restorer of life and a¹ nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is ^abetter to you than seven sons, has borne him.”

16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him.

17 ^aAlso the neighbor women gave him 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.

18 ^aNow this is the genealogy of Perez: ^bPerez begot Hezron;

19 Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab;

20 Amminadab begot ^aNahshon, and Nahshon begot ^bSalmon;
