Commentary
And, after their settlement in Canaan, Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, who had been a native of that country, but entertained the spies at Jericho, and afterwards embracing the Jewish religion, had the honor to be thus incorporated with this noble family; and Boaz their son begat Obed of Ruth, the Moabitess, who had so resolutely chosen to adhere to the God and people of Israel; and Obed in a very advanced age, begat Jesse: – Philip Doddridge N.T
We note that two women are mentioned in this fifth verse: a Canaanite and a Moabitess. Thus Gentile blood mingled with the Hebrew strain. Our King has come to break down the partition wall. As Gentiles, we rejoice in this. Jesus is heir of a line in which flows the blood of the harlot Rahab, and of the rustic Ruth; he is akin to the fallen and to the lowly, and he will show his love even to the poorest and most obscure. I, too, may have part and lot in him. – Spurgeon’s Commentary on Matthew
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab, who received the spies in Jericho; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth, the Moabitess; which two women, being foreigners from the commonwealth of Israel, were both mercifully received into the Church of God, and honored with the progenitor of Christ. – Hall’s Explication of Hard Text
