Ruth 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 4:20

And Amminadab begat Nahshon
The prince of the tribe of Judah, as the Targum adds; and so he was when the Israelites were come out of Egypt, and were in the wilderness at the time of the dedication of the altar, ( Numbers 7:12 ) called Nahsson, ( Matthew 1:4 ) ( Luke 3:32 ) , and Nahshon begat Salmon; or, as in the Hebrew text, Salmah, and in ( 1 Chronicles 2:11 ) , Salma; and yet in the verse following Salmon, as we read it.
