• In Ruth 4:19, Amminadab is the son of Aram - not Arni, as stated in the MT : "And Chetzron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadav." ( וְחֶצְרוֹן֙ הוֹלִ֣יד אֶת־רָ֔ם וְרָ֖ם הוֹלִ֥יד אֶת־עַמִּֽינָדָֽב )

• So where in the Bible does ESV find רָ֔ם Ram as a "son of Arni" to splice up the genealogy in Luke 3:33?
