Salmon begat Bo'az from Rachav, Bo'az begat Oved from Rut*, Oved begat Yishai,

The F.O.G

Salmon married Rahab—a former prostitute from Jericho whose faith saved her family and grafted her into God's people. Their son Boaz showed similar grace by marrying Ruth, a widowed foreigner whose loyalty to Israel's God brought her into the Messiah's lineage. Their son Obed continued this legacy of redemption through Jesse.

The F.O.G Paraphrase
