Ruth 4:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:

¹² And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.

¹³ Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.
