Ruth 4:21

And Salmon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Oved,

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

In Context

20And Amminadav fathered Nachshon, and Nachshon fathered Salmon,

22And Oved fathered Yishai, and Yishai fathered Dovid. + 4:22 T. N. This genealogy is important not only because it is Dovidʼs, but also because it is Moshiachʼs. See 1Chr 2:4; 3:5 and the genealogy in Mt 1 of Yehoshua/Yeshua Ben Dovid. The sandal exchanged ( Ruth 4:7 ) fell on the genealogical line that would inherit the earth ( Ro 4:13 ), crush Satanʼs head ( Gn 3:15 ), and make the temurah (substitution) to redeem the living and the dead ( Ro 4:25 ), even as Elimelech stood up alive vicariously through his Goel to reclaim the allotted inheritance of his redemption.
