Megillas Rus, Perek 4 Part 2/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does Megillas Rus end? The neighbors name Rus's child Oved, as if a son was born to Naomi, and the line of Peretz runs down to Dovid HaMelech. First comes a question about a chazzan who went back and said Moadim again, where the concern is saying the word Moadim twice in a row. Fifteen generations from Avraham to Shlomo HaMelech match the moon's fifteen growing days.

Key points

• The mefarshim explain the name Oved: he would be like an eved, helping Naomi in her old age.
• The Gemara in Shabbos counts Yishai among four who died without sin, only through the snake.
• Fifteen generations from Avraham to Shlomo HaMelech mirror the fifteen days the moon grows.
