¹ Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

³ And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

⁴ And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

⁶ And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.

⁷ Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.

⁸ Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.

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 Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

¹⁰ Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to 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 build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

¹² 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.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ 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.

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 better 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 And the women her neighbors 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.

¹⁸ Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

¹⁹ And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

²⁰ And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

²¹ And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

²² And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

¹ Then went ^H5927 Boaz ^H1162 up ^H5927 to the gate, ^H8179 and sat him down ^H3427 there: and, behold, the kinsman ^H1350 of whom Boaz ^H1162 spake ^H1696 came ^H5674 by; unto whom he said, ^H559 Ho, ^H1945 such ^H6423 a one! ^H492 turn aside, ^H5493 sit down ^H3427 here. And he turned aside, ^H5493 and sat down. ^H3427

² And he took ^H3947 ten ^H6235 men ^H582 of the elders ^H2205 of the city, ^H5892 and said, ^H559 Sit ye down ^H3427 here. And they sat down. ^H3427

³ And he said ^H559 unto the kinsman, ^H1350 Naomi, ^H5281 that is come again ^H7725 out of the country ^H7704 of Moab, ^H4124 selleth ^H4376 a parcel ^H2513 of land, ^H7704 which was our brother ^H251 Elimelech's: ^H458

⁴ And I thought ^H559 to advertise ^{H1540 H241} thee, saying, ^H559 Buy ^H7069 it before the inhabitants, ^H3427 and before the elders ^H2205 of my people. ^H5971 If thou wilt redeem ^H1350 it, redeem ^H1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeem ^H1350 it, then tell ^H5046 me, that I may know: ^H3045 for there is none to redeem ^H1350 it beside ^H2108 thee; and I am after ^H310 thee. And he said, ^H559 I will redeem ^H1350 it.

⁵ Then said ^H559 Boaz, ^H1162 What day ^H3117 thou buyest ^H7069 the field ^H7704 of the hand ^H3027 of Naomi, ^H5281 thou must buy ^H7069 it also of Ruth ^H7327 the Moabitess, ^H4125 the wife ^H802 of the dead, ^H4191 to raise up ^H6965 the name ^H8034 of the dead ^H4191 upon his inheritance. ^H5159

⁶ And the kinsman ^H1350 said, ^H559 I cannot ^H3201 redeem ^H1350 it for myself, lest I mar ^H7843 mine own inheritance: ^H5159 redeem ^H1350 thou my right ^H1353 to thyself; for I cannot ^H3201 redeem ^H1350 it.

⁷ Now this was the manner in former time ^H6440 in Israel ^H3478 concerning redeeming ^H1353 and concerning changing, ^H8545 for to confirm ^H6965 all things; ^H1697 a man ^H376 plucked off ^H8025 his shoe, ^H5275 and gave ^H5414 it to his neighbour: ^H7453 and this was a testimony ^H8584 in Israel. ^H3478

⁸ Therefore the kinsman ^H1350 said ^H559 unto Boaz, ^H1162 Buy ^H7069 it for thee. So he drew off ^H8025 his shoe. ^H5275

⁹ And Boaz ^H1162 said ^H559 unto the elders, ^H2205 and unto all the people, ^H5971 Ye are witnesses ^H5707 this day, ^H3117 that I have bought ^H7069 all that was Elimelech's, ^H458 and all that was Chilion's ^H3630 and Mahlon's, ^H4248 of the hand ^H3027 of Naomi. ^H5281

¹⁰ Moreover Ruth ^H7327 the Moabitess, ^H4125 the wife ^H802 of Mahlon, ^H4248 have I purchased ^H7069 to be my wife, ^H802 to raise up ^H6965 the name ^H8034 of the dead ^H4191 upon his inheritance, ^H5159 that the name ^H8034 of the dead ^H4191 be not cut off ^H3772 from among ^H5973 his brethren, ^H251 and from the gate ^H8179 of his place: ^H4725 ye are witnesses ^H5707 this day. ^H3117

¹¹ And all the people ^H5971 that were in the gate, ^H8179 and the elders, ^H2205 said, ^H559 We are witnesses. ^H5707 The LORD ^H3068 make ^H5414 the woman ^H802 that is come ^H935 into thine house ^H1004 like Rachel ^H7354 and like Leah, ^H3812 which two ^H8147 did build ^H1129 the house ^H1004 of Israel: ^H3478 and do ^H6213 thou worthily ^H2428 in Ephratah, ^H672 and be famous ^{H7121 H8034} in Bethlehem: ^H1035

¹² And let thy house ^H1004 be like the house ^H1004 of Pharez, ^H6557 whom Tamar ^H8559 bare ^H3205 unto Judah, ^H3063 of the seed ^H2233 which the LORD ^H3068 shall give ^H5414 thee of this young woman. ^H5291

¹³ So Boaz ^H1162 took ^H3947 Ruth, ^H7327 and she was his wife: ^H802 and when he went in ^H935 unto her, the LORD ^H3068 gave ^H5414 her conception, ^H2032 and she bare ^H3205 a son. ^H1121

¹⁴ And the women ^H802 said ^H559 unto Naomi, ^H5281 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD, ^H3068 which hath not left ^H7673 thee this day ^H3117 without a kinsman, ^H1350 that his name ^H8034 may be famous ^H7121 in Israel. ^H3478

¹⁵ And he shall be unto thee a restorer ^H7725 of thy life, ^H5315 and a nourisher ^H3557 of thine old age: ^H7872 for thy daughter in law, ^H3618 which loveth ^H157 thee, which is better ^H2896 to thee than seven ^H7651 sons, ^H1121 hath born ^H3205 him.

¹⁶ And Naomi ^H5281 took ^H3947 the child, ^H3206 and laid ^H7896 it in her bosom, ^H2436 and became nurse ^H539 unto it.

¹⁷ And the women her neighbours ^H7934 gave ^H7121 it a name, ^H8034 saying, ^H559 There is a son ^H1121 born ^H3205 to Naomi; ^H5281 and they called ^H7121 his name ^H8034 Obed: ^H5744 he is the father ^H1 of Jesse, ^H3448 the father ^H1 of David. ^H1732

¹⁸ Now these are the generations ^H8435 of Pharez: ^H6557 Pharez ^H6557 begat ^H3205 Hezron, ^H2696

¹⁹ And Hezron ^H2696 begat ^H3205 Ram, ^H7410 and Ram ^H7410 begat ^H3205 Amminadab, ^H5992

²⁰ And Amminadab ^H5992 begat ^H3205 Nahshon, ^H5177 and Nahshon ^H5177 begat ^H3205 Salmon, ^H8009

²¹ And Salmon ^H8012 begat ^H3205 Boaz, ^H1162 and Boaz ^H1162 begat ^H3205 Obed, ^H5744

²² And Obed ^H5744 begat ^H3205 Jesse, ^H3448 and Jesse ^H3448 begat ^H3205 David. ^H1732

---

¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

³ And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

⁴ And I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

⁶ And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.

⁷ Now this was `the custom' in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the `manner of' attestation in Israel.

⁸ So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.

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 Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

¹⁰ Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to 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. Jehovah make the woman that is come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

¹² and let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman.

¹³ So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bare a son.

¹⁴ And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.

¹⁵ And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.

¹⁶ And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.

¹⁷ And the women her neighbors 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.

¹⁸ Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron,

¹⁹ and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

²⁰ and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

²¹ and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

²² and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

---

¹ And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he saith, `Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;' and he turneth aside and sitteth down.

² And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, `Sit down here;' and they sit down.

³ And he saith to the redeemer, `A portion of the field which `is' to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;

⁴ and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem -- redeem, and if none doth redeem -- declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I redeem `it'.'

⁵ And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought `it', to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.'

⁶ And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem `it' for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.'

⁷ And this `is' formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given `it' to his neighbour, and this `is' the testimony in Israel.

⁸ And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy `it' for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.

⁹ And Boaz saith to the elders, and `to' all the people, `Witnesses `are' ye to-day that I have bought all that `is' to Elimelech, and all that `is' to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;

¹⁰ and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye `are' to-day.'

¹¹ And all the people who `are' in the gate say -- also the elders -- `Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem;

¹² and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.'

¹³ And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son.

¹⁴ And the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed `is' Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,

¹⁵ and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee -- who is better to thee than seven sons -- hath borne him.'

¹⁶ And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;

¹⁷ and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, `There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he `is' father of Jesse, father of David.

¹⁸ And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

¹⁹ and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,

²⁰ and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

²¹ and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

²² and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

---

¹ And Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. And he said, Thou, such a one, turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down.

² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.

³ And he said to him that had the right of redemption: Naomi, who is come back out of the country of Moab, sells the allotment that was our brother Elimelech's.

⁴ And I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy [it] in the presence of the inhabitants, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem; but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].

⁵ And Boaz said, On the day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

⁶ And he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for I cannot redeem [it].

⁷ Now this [was the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redemption and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the [mode of] attestation in Israel.

⁸ And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.

⁹ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi;

¹⁰ moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to 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. Jehovah make the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make thyself a name in Bethlehem;

¹² and let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman.

¹³ And Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.

¹⁴ And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah who hath not left thee this day without one that has the right of redemption, and may his name be famous in Israel!

¹⁵ And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law who loves thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has borne him.

¹⁶ And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ Now these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,

¹⁹ and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,

²⁰ and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,

²¹ and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,

²² and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

---

¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.

² He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you down here. They sat down.

³ He said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

⁴ I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides you; and I am after you. He said, I will redeem it.

⁵ Then said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.

⁶ The near kinsman said, I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: take my right of redemption on you; for I can't redeem it.

⁷ Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.

⁸ So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. He drew off his shoe.

⁹ Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

¹⁰ Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: you are witnesses this day.

¹¹ All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel: and do you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

¹² and let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you of this young woman.

¹³ So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.

¹⁴ The women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.

¹⁵ He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.

¹⁶ Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.

¹⁷ The women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they named him Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

¹⁸ Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,

¹⁹ and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,

²⁰ and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,

²¹ and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,

²² and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.

---

¹ And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.

² Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.

³ Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:

⁴ And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

⁵ Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.

⁶ And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.

⁷ Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.

⁸ So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.

⁹ Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

¹⁰ And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.

¹¹ And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

¹² May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.

¹³ So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.

¹⁴ And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.

¹⁵ He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.

¹⁶ And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.

¹⁷ And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

¹⁸ Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;

¹⁹ And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;

²⁰ And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;

²¹ And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;

²² And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
