The progression through Salmon and the explicit mention of Boaz in the genealogy connects the narrative account of Ruth and Boaz to the larger historical framework and establishes Boaz as a link in the chain of covenant community stretching from Perez to David. Salmon's role as father of Boaz connects the narrative to earlier biblical history and suggests that the story of Ruth and Boaz takes its place within a historical continuum of divine providence. The genealogy's mention of Boaz validates the narrative account and ties the story to verifiable historical sequence.
