Ruth 4:13

"So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bare a son."

"So Boaz took Ruth." This is a reference to the marriage ceremony itself and to the fact of the marriage's consummation and the blessing of God upon their union in the birth of a son. "In effect, this verse ushers Ruth and Boaz offstage and sets their infant at the center."[14]
