Bible Question:
Question on Ruth Chapter 2. Why did Boaz redeem Ruth instead of Naomi? Scripture or commentary refrences would be much appreciated. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Also Naomi was too old to have any more children and she was depressed because of the loss of the men - her husband and sons. So Ruth took care of her and would not leave her. She went out and brought food back. This is how she met Boaz. So when she told Naomi about Boaz's kindness, Naomi instructed her what to do. Boaz and Ruth were the parents of Obed, Obed was the father of Jesse, Jesse was the father of David, David's line led down to the virgin Mary who was the mother of our Lord Jesus. One of the interesting things I learned when I studied Ruth is that the Lord is our Kinsman Redeemer. Not only was He the Kinsman Redeemer for the Jews but also for the gentiles as well as Ruth was a gentile. Interesting isn't it? Blessings -Val |
