CHAPTER 3
RUTH AND NAOMI BIBLE STORY EVENTS
NAOMI IN THE BIBLE STUDY
Glad to have you
back to share more Daily Bread. To fully understand the next event that
happened in the story of Ruth, we're going to have a little refresher on
something the Lord commanded the people of Israel concerning widows.
Back in biblical days, it was considered a blessing, and honorable to have a large family. Remember to be be fruitful and multiply,
Genesis 1:28.
In fact, it was so important that if a man's brother died but had no
children, out of duty, his brother would marry the deceased's widow.
The
firstborn of this combination would carry the deceased brother's name so that his name would
continue in Israel. If the brother chose not to be dutiful, it was a very
shameful thing,
Deuteronomy
25:5-10. In fact, you may
remember that Judah had a son who died, and the brother refused to carry on
his brother's name, and it displeased the Lord, so He killed the man,
Genesis 38:8-10.
RUTH AND NAOMI BIBLE STORY RITUALS
NAOMI IN THE BIBLE PRACTICES
In this case, there was no brother, as you know, both of Naomi's sons died,
so does the responsibility of carrying on the family name pass on to the
next of kin? We'll find out soon. With that in mind, let's resume our story.
Naomi, concerned
about Ruth being childless said to her, Isn't it only right that I help you
find contentment, so that it may be well with you? And isn't Boaz a relative
of ours, whose maidens you were with? Listen, he's preparing barley tonight
in the threshing floor (where they separate the grain from the chaff).
Clean yourself up and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor,
but don't let Boaz know you're there until he is done eating and drinking.
Then, when he goes to sleep, notice the place where he lies down, and you
shall go in and uncover his feet, and lay yourself down, and he will tell
you what you should do.
RUTH AND NAOMI BIBLE STORY DECEPTION
NAOMI IN THE BIBLE CONCERN
Now, maybe it's
just me, but am I the only one who thinks it would be more honorable to
approach the man while he was sober? The law was known by everyone, and if
Boaz was a godly man, he would have done the right thing, and if not, the
Lord would take care of business, no? Not only that, but after all, didn't
Boaz already make his integrity known? Just a little eyebrow lifting
thought.
Ruth said to
Naomi, All that you've instructed me, I will do. So she went down to the
threshing floor and did what Naomi told her. When Boaz had eaten and drunk,
and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn,
and Ruth quietly went and uncovered his feet and laid down.
At midnight, Boaz
was startled, and turned over and saw a woman lying at his feet. He said,
Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread your covers
over your handmaid; because you are a near kinsman. And Boaz said, may the
LORD bless you, my daughter.
RUTH AND NAOMI BIBLE STORY TRUTH
NAOMI IN THE BIBLE DECISIONS
And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast showed
more kindness in the end than at the beginning, since you haven't followed
young men, whether poor or rich.
And now, my daughter, don't worry, I will
do for you all that you request, because all the city of my people know that
you are a virtuous woman. It's true that I'm your close relative, however,
there is a relative closer than I.
Wait this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform the duty of a kinsman, well, let him do the
kinsman's part. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then I
will do the part of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the
morning.
RUTH AND NAOMI BIBLE STORY TEACHING
NAOMI IN THE BIBLE BLESSING
Ruth lay at his feet until the morning, and she got up before anyone could
recognize her. And he said, Don't let anyone know that a woman came into the
threshing floor. Then he said, Bring your shawl, and hold it. And when she
held it, he measured six measures of barley, and placed it in her shawl, and
she went into the city.
And when she
returned, Naomi said, How did things work out for you, my daughter? And Ruth
told her all that the man had done for her. She said, He gave me these six
measures of barley and said, Don't go empty to your mother in law.
Then
Naomi said, Stay here, my daughter, until you know how this turns out,
because the man will not be at peace, until he has worked this whole matter
out today.
