Ruth 4:15

He will give you new life and support you in your old age (literally ”gray hair”). For your son’s wife has borne him, who loves you and is more to you than seven sons.”
[The number seven stands for perfection, see 1 Sam. 2:5. The expression also reflects the contemporary notion of the ideal Jewish family with seven sons. That Ruth now becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son at the same time is also remarkable. Ruth had been married to Machlon for ten years without being able to have a child. Here again, God’s providence and care is evident.]
