Continuing on with the Bible. Let's get into it.
People in Bible times.
Ruth
Ruth was a loyal and.
unselfish woman who loved her mother-in-law, Naomi. When Ruth's husband died, she promised to stay with
Naomi for as long as she lived. Ruth and Naomi went to Israel, where Ruth met and married a kind
man named Belaz. Ruth and Belize at the Threshing floor. Three. One day, Naomi, her mother,
and law said to her, my daughter, should I not try to find a home for you where you will be
well provided for? Is not Belize with whose servant girls you have been a kindsman of ours?
Tonight, he will be when knowing barley on the threshing floor.
wash and perfume yourself and put on your best clothes then go down to the threshing floor but do not let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking when he lies down note the place where he is lying then go and uncover his feet and lie down he will tell you what to do i will do whatever you say ruth answered so she went down
to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do.
When Belaz had finished eating and drinking, it was in good spirits, he went over to lie down
at the far end of the grain pile.
Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down.
In the middle of the night, something startled the man, and he turned and discovered a woman
lying at his feet.
Who are you?
He asked.
I am your servant, Ruth, she said.
Spread the corner of your garment over me,
since you are a king,
kinsman redeemer.
The Lord bless me.
My daughter, he replied,
this kindness is greater than that
which you showed earlier.
You have not run.
after the younger men, whether rich or poor.
And now, my daughter, don't be afraid.
I will do for you all you ask.
All my fellow townsmen know that you are a woman of noble character.
Although it is true that I am near of kin,
there is a kinsman redeemer nearer.
than I stay here for the night in the morning if he wants to redeem.
Good, let him redeem.
But if he is not willing, as surely as the Lord lives, I will do it.
Lie here until morning.
So she lay at his feet until morning.
But got up before anyone could be recognized.
And he said, don't let it be known.
that a woman came to the threshing floor.
He also said,
Bring me the shower you are wearing and hold it out.
When she did so,
he poured into it six measures of barley and put it on her.
Then he went back to town.
When Ruth came to her mother-in-law,
Naomi asked,
How did it go, my daughter?
Then she told her everything,
Belaz had done for her and added, he gave me the six measures of barley, saying,
Don't go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed. Then Naomi said, wait, my daughter, until you find out
what happens for the men will not rest until the matter is settled today. Belaz marries Ruth.
Meanwhile, Belize went up to the town gate and sat there.
When the kinsman Redeemer he had mentioned came along,
Belaz said, come over here, my friend, and sit down.
So he went over and sat down.
Belize took ten of the elders of the town and said,
Sit here, and they did so.
Then he said to the kinsman Redeemer,
Naomi, who has come back from Oab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our brother, El Malesh.
I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people.
If you will redeem it, do so.
You will not tell me so I will know, for no one has the right to do except you, and I am next in line.
I will redeem it, he said, then Boaz said.
On the day you buy the land from Naomi and from Ruth the Moabites, you acquire the dead man's widow in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.
at this the kinsman redeemer said then i cannot redeem it because i might endanger my own estate you redeem it yourself i cannot do it
now in earlier times in israel for the redemption and transfer a property to become final one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other this was the method of legalizing transactions
in Israel.
So the kinsman Redeemer said to
Boaz, buy it yourself,
and he removed his
sandal. Then Boaz
announced to the elders and all
the people, today you are witnesses
that have bought
from Naomi, all the
property of Elamilesh,
Killian, and
Milan. I have
also acquired Ruth
the Moabites.
Malan's widow has
my wife in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property so that his name will not
disappear from among his family or from the town's records. Today you are witnesses. Then the elders
and all those at the gate said, we are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming to
your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up.
the house of Israel. May you have standing in Ephraah and be famous in Bethlehem.
Through the offspring, the Lord gives you by this young woman. May your family be like that of Perez,
whom Tamara bore to Judah, the genealogy of David.
So Belize took Ruth and she became his wife
Then he went to her in the Lord
Enabled her to conceive
And she gave birth to a son
The woman said to Naomi
Praise be to the Lord
Who this day has not left you
With Aliquan's men redeem her
May he become famous throughout Israel
He will be
He will renew your life
And sustain you
in your old age.
For your daughter-in-law,
who loves you and who is better
to you than seven sons
has given him birth.
Then Naomi took the child,
laid him in her lap,
and cared for him.
The woman living there
said, Naomi has a son,
and they named him
Obed. He was a father.
He was the father of Jesse,
the father of David.
This then is the family line of Perez.
Perez was the father of Hezron.
Hezran, the father of Ram,
Ram, the father of Aminabab,
Aminab,
the father of Nashan,
Nashan, the father of Salman,
Salman, the father of Belize,
the son of the father of Obede,
the father of,
the father of Jesse and Jesse the father of David.
We restend the chapter of Ruth.
Life in Bible Times, taking off a sandal.
Today, people sign papers to show that they have made an agreement.
In the days of the judges, a person showed agreement by taking off a sandal and handing it over to the other person.
People who saw the sandal being handed over could be witnesses in court that the agreement was broken.
Let's live it. Ruth 4-1-22. Rich Rewards
Ruth and Naomi had both been married, but both of their husbands had died.
Ruth decided to stay with Naomi. She was Naomi's friend and helper, as well as her daughter-in-law,
but she did not want any rewards.
However, the people in Bethelaham
noticed how loving she was and praised her.
Even the rich man, Belaz praised her,
saying, may the Lord repay you for what you have done.
May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, Ruth 212.
Later, Boaz married Ruth.
They had a son, Jesse, the father of King David,
who became Israel's most famous king,
someday Jesus would be born into their family line too.
