Definition: So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.

Explanation: Okay, let's break down that verse from Ruth 4:13. It’s a really beautiful story about love and God’s plan! Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, Boaz (a kind of ruler) fell deeply in love with Ruth. Ruth was a Moabite woman – she came from a line of people who were exiled from Israel. She wasn't part of the royal family and wasn’t considered “worthy” to be married to someone of higher status. Then, God decided to intervene! He saw Boaz’s love for Ruth and wanted to bring them together. He used his power – through a special act – to make it happen. God gave Ruth a pregnancy. It wasn't just any pregnancy; it was a conception – like a baby being born. And finally, she bore a son! This son is the boy named Obed. Obed was Boaz’s great-grandfather and the one who inherited the land of Bethlehem. So, in short: God loved Ruth enough to give her a child, and that child became the ancestor of many important people in the Bible – including Jesus Christ! It's a story about divine providence and how love can lead to blessings. It’s a really powerful example of God working through our lives. --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse?
