Ruth 4:14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Ruth got pregnant. When she got pregnant the other women went to Naomi and said to her that God had not left her without a kinsman, a redeemer.
Something to think about is that from the beginning the hope of the woman was that she would give birth to the redeemer, the seed, the baby that God would send to redeem all. Genesis 3:15
Here in this verse it seems to be much more than just Naomi got someone to take care of her when she got old. Rather God gave her a kinsman, a redeemer, that would be famous in Israel.
Ruth will be in the lineage of Jesus. Her kinsman will be famous in all of Israel and in all of the earth. Matthew 1:5
