Sunday October 18th
Message: Far More Than Rubies (Ruth 4:1-12)
Last Sunday we left Ruth and Naomi at the kitchen table with six measures of barley and a promise. Boaz had sworn to redeem Ruth if the nearer redeemer would not, and Naomi was sure he wouldn’t rest until the matter was settled. And Boaz is a man of his word, and by morning he is sitting at the city gate, waiting for this closer redeemer. What follows is part courtroom drama, part real estate deal and part wedding ceremony.
Discussion Questions for Individuals and Families
-
Read Ruth 4:1–2. Where does Boaz go, and what does he do when he gets there? Compare his actions with Naomi’s words in 3:18. Whom does he gather, and why might they be needed?
-
Read Ruth 4:3–4. What does Boaz offer the nearer redeemer, and how does the man respond? What does Boaz mention first, and what does he leave out?
-
Read Ruth 4:5–6. What does Boaz add in verse 5, and why does the man change his answer? What reason does he give? Why do you think the narrator never tells us this man’s name?
-
Read Ruth 4:7–10. What custom confirms the agreement? List everything Boaz says he has bought. What reason does he give in verse 10?
-
Read Ruth 4:11–12. Who speaks these blessings, and which people from Israel’s past do they name? Read the story of Rachel and Leah (Genesis 29:1–30:24) and Judah and Tamar (Genesis 38). What’s curious about referring to such stories in a blessing?
