Ruth 4:12

May your house (family) be like that of Peret [Boaz’s ancestor, see verse 18], whom Tamar bore to Judah [by a precisely levirate marriage], through the child (seed) that the Lord (Yahweh) will give you through this young woman.” [The passage is well structured as a chiasm with a central verse prophesying that the city of Bethlehem in the region of Ephrathah will have an important role in the future. Here a son will be born whose name will be highly honored, see Mic. 5:2; Matt. 2:1, 5! The passage is framed by two women in verse 11, Rachel and Leah, and Tamar and Ruth in verse 12. There is also another connection with this chapter of Genesis. In the Hebrew text, at 49–letter intervals, the names Boaz, Ruth, Oved, Jishai and David can be read out in Gen. 38:11–28. The five names that lead up to David in the genealogical table at the end of the book of Ruth, see Ruth 4:21–22, are thus found in exactly the right order with 7 x 7 letter intervals in the very paragraph dealing with Peres, five generations before Boaz. You have to be a little careful with Bible codes, but it is still a strange coincidence that points to the Bible being a divinely inspired book.]
