Salmon, the father of Boaz; Boaz, the father of Obed,

—Ruth 4:21  Verse of the Day.

 

Thoughts on Today’s Verse of the Day

Obed, the son of Boaz and Ruth, is finally introduced to David’s lineage. However, biblical experts need clarification on this verse and the following. According to Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus, Rahab and Salmon were married (Matthew 1:5). Boaz’s mother is Rahab.

There is every reason to believe this is the Rahab who hid the spies in Jericho (Joshua 2:6), especially since Salmon’s father, Nahshon, was the leader of the tribe of Judah during the exodus (Numbers 2:3). The only other women Matthew mentions, Tamar and Ruth, are either foreigners or entered the lineage under questionable circumstances.

Accordingly, Salmon was probably between the ages of 20 and 40 in 1406 BC, when the Israelites arrived in the Promised Land. Sometime after 1040 BC, Salmon has Boaz, Boaz has Obed, Obed has Jesse, and Jesse has David. If Boaz, Obed, and Jesse had their sons at 100, and Salmon had been thirty when he arrived in the Promised Land, this would work.

Jacob prophesied that Judah would rule over his brothers.

It is more likely to be interpreted as Jewish. The accolade was assigned to Jews occupying the fifth and seventh positions on a list. Nahshon, the leader of the tribe of Judah during the exodus (Numbers 1:7; 2:3; 7:12), is the sixth name mentioned in Ruth 4:18–21. 

The protagonist, Boaz, ranks seventh. Ten generations also mark a significant cultural shift, such as the line from Adam to Noah in Genesis 5, and Noah’s son Shem to Abraham in Genesis 11. 

According to Jacob’s prophecy (Genesis 49:8–10), Judah, the father of this tribe, will rule over his brothers. The majority of scholars believe that Samuel wrote the book of Ruth. Zvi Ron, an academic, explains,

The ten-person list marks the shift from the Patriarchs to David’s legitimate monarchy. In other words, Samuel increased support for David against Saul, who was descended from Benjamin rather than Judah. — Verse of the Day.
