Wednesday night is coming ... so here are the Bible discussion study notes!

Bible Discussion on the Book of Ruth, chapter 2

To better observe what is in this chapter, let’s put it in our own words.

What do we continue to discover about Naomi’s and Ruth’s commitment to each other?

Looking at his actions & words, what do we discover about Boaz’s character?

Understanding the Old testament law for gleaning. Leviticus 23.22

What does guardian-redeemer mean? (kinsman-redeemer)
(The kinsman-redeemer is a male relative who, according to various laws of the O. T., had the privilege or responsibility to act on behalf of a relative who was in trouble, danger, or need. The Hebrew term for kinsman-redeemer designates one who delivers or rescues (Genesis 48:16; Exodus 6:6) or redeems property or person (Leviticus 27:9–25, 25:47–55). The kinsman who redeems or vindicates a relative is illustrated most clearly in the book of Ruth, where the kinsman-redeemer is Boaz.)


With Boaz being Ruth’s guardian-redeemer in mind, let’s compare; Romans 3:23-24, Galatians 3.13, Colossians 1.14, & 1 Peter 1.18-19.
