Key Reflection

Unable to quote the full requested range in the World English Bible (WEB). Missing: Ruth 4:21.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Salmon begat Boaz -Matthew has preserved the additional interesting information that the mother of Boaz was RahabJoshua 2:0;Joshua 6:0. It is possible that the circumstance that the mother of Boaz was a Canaanite may have made him less indisposed to marry Ruth the Moabitess. As regards the whole genealogy inRuth 4:18-22, it should be remarked that it occurs four times in Scripture, namely, here,1 Chronicles 2:10-12;Matthew 1:3-6; andLuke 3:32-33, and is of course of singular importance as being the genealogy of our Lord. One or two difficulties in it still remain unsolved.
