Context: • Boaz in the Book of Ruth: Boaz is a central character in the Book of Ruth, a wealthy and influential man from Bethlehem. He is described as a "kinsman-redeemer" for Ruth, a Moabite widow, and her mother-in-law Naomi. Boaz's actions demonstrate his integrity, kindness, and adherence to the laws of levirate marriage. He marries Ruth, ensuring her and Naomi's security and continuing the family lineage, which ultimately leads to the birth of King David. Key passages include Ruth 2:1, where Boaz is introduced, and Ruth 4:13, where he marries Ruth: "So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son."
