13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his isha; and when he went in unto her, Hashem gave her conception, and she bore ben.4:13 See Isa 7:14 14 And the nashim said unto Naomi, Baruch Hashem, which hath not left thee this yom without a Go’el. May shmo be famous in Yisroel. 15 And may he restore your nefesh and be a nourisher of thine old age; for thy kallah, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than shiva banim, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the yeled, and laid him in her kheyk (bosom), and became omenet (nurse) unto it. 17 And the women her shchenim gave him a name, saying, There is a ben born to Naomi; and they called his name Oved; he is the father of Yishai, the father of Dovid.
18 Now these are the toldot of Peretz; Peretz fathered Chetzron, 19 And Chetzron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadav, 20 And Amminadav fathered Nachshon, and Nachshon fathered Salmon, 21 And Salmon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Oved, 22 And Oved fathered Yishai, and Yishai fathered Dovid.4:22 T. N. This genealogy is important not only because it is Dovidʼs, but also because it is Moshiachʼs. See 1Chr 2:4; 3:5 and the genealogy in Mt 1 of Yehoshua/Yeshua Ben Dovid. The sandal exchanged (Ruth 4:7) fell on the genealogical line that would inherit the earth (Ro 4:13), crush Satanʼs head (Gn 3:15), and make the temurah (substitution) to redeem the living and the dead (Ro 4:25), even as Elimelech stood up alive vicariously through his Goel to reclaim the allotted inheritance of his redemption.
