Ruth 4:12-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. “And let your house be like the house of Perets, whom Tamar bore to Yehuḏah, of the seed which יהוה does give you from this young woman.”

13. And Bo‛az took Ruth and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and יהוה granted her conception, and she bore a son.

14. And the women said to Na‛omi, “Blessed be יהוה, who has not left you this day without a redeemer. And let his Name be proclaimed in Yisra’ĕl!

15. “And he shall be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”

16. And Na‛omi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him.

17. And the women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, “There is a son born to Na‛omi.” And they called his name Oḇĕḏ. He was the father of Yishai, the father of Dawiḏ.

18. And this is the genealogy of Perets: Perets brought forth Ḥetsron.

19. And Ḥetsron brought forth Ram, and Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ.

20. And Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, and Naḥshon brought forth Salmon.

21. And Salmon brought forth Bo‛az, and Bo‛az brought forth Oḇĕḏ.
