1 | Plese give some history on Boaz | Gen 21:12 | 33999 | |||
Was Boaz . . his first name? Was his last name given? Were the people of Old only know by one name? | ||||||
2 | Plese give some history on Boaz | Gen 21:12 | wordoer | 34000 | ||
I have studied this a little, and have come to find that in the days of old people were known by their occupation, Or that of their Father, Along with their given (first) name. So if Boaz' Father would have been a Shoe maker, He would be known as Boaz Shumacher, or some derivation. And likewise with other occupations or status in society, Sons of Isaac would have been know as Isaacsons, Isacksons, or Saxons (Genesis 21:12). So in days of old those "Last", names were really not necessary. Hope that helps you. wordoer |
