13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, ⁿand the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 ^oThen the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without ^pa redeemer, and may his name ^qbe renowned in Israel! 15 He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, ^rwho is more to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her lap and became his nurse. 17 ^sAnd the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
