Bible Note: Ruth was an exceptional woman. If you read the book of Ruth you will see this in the way she took care of her mother in law. Her mother in law was in a very bad mood after her sons died. It was Ruth who kept the family together. Boaz was the lucky one. He was a lot older than Ruth. Boaz praised Ruth for her behavior in not running after young men. Once Ruth and her mother in law returned to the homeland Ruth was the one who went out and searched for food. They were dirt poor. Ruth took instructions from her mother in law and did everything she told her. Boaz took note of this and being the kinsman redeemer he is an example of how Christ Jesus is the kinsman redeemer also for the Gentiles. Because a gentile is in the line of Christ.
