let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore 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 bore a son.
14
And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed
be the LORD, who has not left thee this day without a redeemer, whose name shall be famous in Israel.
15
And he shall be unto thee a restorer of
thy soul and a sustainer in thy old age, for thy daughter-in-law, whom thou doth love, who is better to thee than seven sons, has given birth.
16
And Naomi took the child and laid it in her bosom and was his nurse.
17
And the women, her neighbours, named him, saying, There is a son born to Naomi, and they called his name Obed. This
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.
