Commentary on Ruth 4:18
Genealogy begins: 'Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron'. The formal genealogy connects Ruth's story to broader redemptive history, tracing from Pharez (Genesis 38) through Boaz to David. This literary inclusion demonstrates Ruth's canonical importance—not merely touching personal story but crucial link in messianic chain. The genealogy validates Davidic kingship and ultimately Christ's Davidic descent through legal lineage.
