Descendants of Boaz and Ruth^(A)

¹³ So Boaz ^(B)took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, ^(C)the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

⁵ And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?”

So he said, “The children ^(A)whom God has graciously given your servant.”

The Children of Jacob

³¹ When the Lord ^(A)saw that Leah was ^[a]unloved, He ^(B)opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

¹¹ And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a ^(A)virtuous woman.

^27 (A)For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.

¹² May your house be like the house of ^(A)Perez, ^(B)whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of ^(C)the offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman.”
