Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word for "ox" or "cow," related to the Hebrew name בֹּעַז (Boaz).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 1162: בֹּעַז (Boaz) • The Hebrew equivalent of the Greek Βοός, referring to the same historical figure in the Old Testament narrative.

Usage: The name Boaz is used in the New Testament genealogies to refer to an ancestor of Jesus Christ. It appears in the context of the lineage of David, highlighting the Messianic line.

Context: • Boaz is a significant figure in the Old Testament, primarily known from the Book of Ruth. He is depicted as a wealthy and influential landowner in Bethlehem, who becomes the kinsman-redeemer for Ruth, a Moabite widow. Boaz's actions demonstrate the principles of kindness, loyalty, and adherence to the law of levirate marriage, which required a relative to marry a widow to preserve the family line.
• In the New Testament, Boaz is mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus Christ, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:5). This inclusion underscores the fulfillment of God's promises through the lineage of David, as Boaz is the great-grandfather of King David. The genealogy highlights the providential role Boaz played in the history of Israel and the coming of the Messiah.
• The story of Boaz and Ruth is often seen as a foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work, with Boaz acting as a type of Christ, the ultimate Redeemer. His marriage to Ruth, a Gentile, also prefigures the inclusion of the Gentiles in the salvation plan through Jesus Christ.
