Ruth 4:13

Context
A Grandson is Born to Naomi

4:13 So Boaz married Ruth and had sexual relations with her. 1  The Lord enabled her to conceive 2  and she gave birth to a son.

1 tn Heb “and Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife and he went in to her.” Here the phrase “went in to her” (so NASB) is a euphemism for having sexual relations (cf. NCV); NLT “When he slept with her.”

2 tn Heb “gave her conception” (so KJV); NRSV “made her conceive”; NLT “enabled her to become pregnant.”
