Relative to Naomi’s Husband
A Worthy Man
Of the clan of Elimelech
12:54 Read Ruth 2 2-3 - Chris
Ruth asks permission (?)
Let me go
To the field and glean (law about gleaning)
Him, in whose sight I shall find favor
Naomi, gives permission
She went to glean, after the reapers
V3 Gives us a summary over the next several verses
Happened upon Boaz’s field (change, luck?)
How are we to navigate chance or luck today?
31:10 Read Ruth 2 4-7 - Moyo
Boaz comes on the scene - he needs theme music
Came from Bethlehem
Greets the reapers like a Boss
The Lord be with you
Answer - The Lord bless you
Noticed Ruth
Asked the chief reaper about her (whose is she, to whom does she belong)
Chief reaper knew all about her
Ruth is so polite
Ruth has been waiting for permission
Standing until someone with authority can allow her
Except for a short rest (alternate translations that talk to dwelling)
45:06 Read Ruth 2 8-13 - Jasmine
Boaz speaks to Ruth
Don’t go anywhere else
Stay with the young women
The men won’t touch you
You can get something to drink whenever you want
The Favor she was looking for - asks why (suspicious)
As a foreigner
Boaz tells her why she found favor, why he took notice of her
Her support of her Mother-in-Law
Your own issues (lost your husband)
Came here with only your Mother-in-Law
A Blessing
The Lord repay you for supporting Naomi
And a Full reward be given to you
Notes that she has taken refuge in the Lord
Ruth’s response
I have found favor in your eyes
You have comforted me
Spoken kindly to her
Though I am not your servant
1:08:18 Read Ruth 2 14-16 - Chris
Brought them into the supper
Morsel with wine
Sat beside the reapers
Ate Roasted Grain
Ate till she was satisfied
Ruth went to glean after eating
Let her glean among the sheaves
Pull out some harvested bundles
Do not rebuke her
1:12:30 Read Ruth 2 17-20 - Moyo
Gleaned until evening
Gleaned about an Ephah of Barley
Went to her Mother-in-Law
Mother in Law impressed and asks questions
Where did you go
Where have you worked
Blessed is the man who took notice of you
Ruth tells Naomi who it was - a close relative
1:23:12 Read Ruth 2 21-23 - Jasmine
Ruth repeated what Boaz said
Stay in his field
Stay close to his young men
Naomi notes that is to keep her safe
Reiterating how dangerous it could be
What Boaz was keeping her from (safe from harm)
Ruth did just that for the rest of the harvest season
