The Birth of Obed

Ruth 4:13-17

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.

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,

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.'

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

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.
