Commentary on Ruth 4:20
Genealogy progresses: 'And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon'. Nahshon was prince of Judah during the Exodus (Numbers 1:7; 7:12), brother of Aaron's wife Elisheba (Exodus 6:23), making him Moses and Aaron's brother-in-law. This connection shows Ruth's integration into Israel's leadership families. Salmon married Rahab the Canaanite (Matthew 1:5), making Boaz son of another foreign woman of faith. This pattern—foreign women incorporated through faith and marriage into messianic line—demonstrates God's grace transcending ethnicity.
