Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ruth 4:13-22

Ruth 4:13-22The Completion of the Blessing.13So Boaz took Ruth, and she was [became] his wife: and when [omit: when] he went in unto her, [and] the Lord [Jehovah] gave her conception, and she bare a Song of Solomon 1:0; Song of Solomon 1:04And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord [Jehovah], which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman [redeemer], that his name may be [and may his name be] famous in Israel. 15And he shall [may he] be unto thee a restorer of thy life [soul], and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ruth 4:1-22

in the Line of David’s Ancestry Ruth 4:1-22 We are admitted here to a graphic picture of the old world. Men’s memories were longer and stronger than ours: and what was done publicly in the Gate, the place of public concourse, had the seal of permanence irrevocably attached to it. The transference of the shoe indicated the inferior position of woman, though she was honored in Israel more than in the neighboring nations. What a happy ending! The gleaner need never again tread the fields,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ruth 4:1-22

The nobility and faithfulness of Boaz are clearly manifested in this story. It is hardly possible to read this Book without being convinced that Boaz had already found himself in love with Ruth, which accounts for the fact that he was ready and willing to take the responsibility of the next of kin. However, there was one who had a prior right and in loyalty to the law of his people Boaz gave him his opportunity. The picture presented of the gathering of the elders in the gate and the legal... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 4:18-22

‘ Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.’ The writer now closes his book in triumph. We have noted already that he has often liked to repeat ideas, and here he does so by adding the genealogy of Perez (already mentioned in Ruth 4:12) which leads up to the birth of King David (already... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 4:1-22

Ruth 4. Ruth’ s Marriage. Ruth 4:1 . Instead of “ such an one!” Boaz called the person’ s actual name, which the narrator either does not know or does not see any need for bringing into the story. Ruth 4:2 . The elders of the city are called in as witnesses of an important transaction affecting the rights of a family. For “ selleth” we ought to read “ hath sold.” The point is that the property had passed out of the family’ s hands and required to be redeemed. Ruth 4:5 . Here the meaning is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ruth 4:1-22

Ruth 1-4 The Book of Ruth is a love-story told in four chapters. It gives us a glimpse of everyday life in Bethlehem; in home and in harvest-field, in its general gossip and its law-suits, more than three thousand years ago. I. Glancing back over the lines of this sweet and pure pastoral idyll, we feel that rarely did human story more impressively demonstrate the unspeakable worth of lowly folk, the fine and favourable issues of seemingly suppressed lives, the hidden wealth of true and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ruth 4:1-22

Chapter 4So when Boaz rose up he went to the gate of the city, he sat down there: and, behold, the kinsman of which he was speaking came by, and he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And so he turned aside, and sat down. And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And so they sat down. And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, is selling a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: And I thought to let you... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ruth 4:1-22

Ruth 4:1 . The gate: the place of justice. Job 29:0. Genesis 19:0. Ten men judged and attested the fairness of the price until the jubilee. Such sales being open, were freer from disputes. Boaz took ten men to attest the sale of the land; in other places the witnesses only are named; but seven officers constituted a synagogue, and it is likely that those courts did not consist of less than seven. Deuteronomy 16:18. Ruth 4:11 . The Lord make the woman like Rachel and like Leah. Note, a... read more

Ruth 4:17-22And they called his name Obed.Little ObedNo doubt there were circumstances connected with the birth of this child which surrounded it with a special interest. But take the birth of any child, and while few events are more common, few can occur on the earth which in sober reality are more momentous. What a mystery hangs over its wondrous constitution of thought and matter, of soul and body! What a capacity is there of sin and suffering, of holy service and blessedness l What will be... read more
