Boaz married Ruth to redeem the Naomi family estate, and Ruth gave birth to a son who became the ancestor of King David

Boaz sent a walk, he came to the city gate, here is the city needs to deal with important things, such as the place to handle contracts, etc., the city's respected people usually sit at the city gate to deal with official business, convenient for people in and out of the city gate, travel to and from the guests.

Just as the closest relative Boaz was looking for passed by the city gate, Boaz stopped him and asked him to sit down. The man came and sat down. Boaz chose ten more men from among the elders of the city and invited them to come and sit down. They all sat down. Boaz discussed with the man about redeeming the Omifer family's property. The relative offered to redeem the property of the Omif family. But when Boaz offered to marry Ruth and have children for Naomiliu, the relative was reluctant. Because the property thus redeemed is recorded in the name of the son, it will have an impact on his own clan's inheritance.

At that time, the Israelites had to decide things, such as contracts, or redemption, or trade, and the person took off his shoes and gave them to the person. The Israelites all base this on this. So the closest relative took off his shoes and said to Boaz, "Buy that land yourself!" ”

Boaz said to the elders and the multitudes, "Please bear witness to me today that I have bought from Naomir all the possessions of Eli miller and Gillian and Marlen. I also married Ruth, the Moabite woman, of Marlen's wife, so that his name would be preserved in the inheritance of the dead, lest his name be destroyed in his native land. You are witnessing for me today, showing that I did this according to the rules. ”

The elders and the nations at the gates of the city said, "We bear witness to this for you, and may the Creator bless you and this woman who has entered your house, that you may establish a house like Rachel and Leah in the house of Israel, and may you have prosperity in Ephraim and a good reputation in Bethlehem." May the Creator give you descendants from this young woman, making your house like the home of Phales, born of Judah. ”

Boaz married Ruth, the Creator blessed Ruth, and Ruth became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The women came to congratulate Naomi: "The name of the Creator is to be praised. He did not leave you to leave you alone, without offspring. This child must make a name among the Israelites, and he must lift up your spirit and feed you old. Because he was born to your beloved daughter-in-law, you have this daughter-in-law better than having seven sons! "This son was raised at the knee of Naomi, who took the child in his arms and became his adoptive mother.

Neighbors said, "Naomid the child!" "He named this boy Obide." This is the father of Jesse, the father of David, the anointed king of Israel by the Creator.
