17 And the women [illegible: 1+ letters]er neighbours gave it a name , saying, There is a son born to Naomi, and they called his name Obed : he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
i. e. They gave her advice about the Name; for otherwise they had no power or right to do so.
A servant, to wit, to thee, to nourish, and comfort, and assist thee, which Duty Children owe to their Progenitors.
