Wow, did you know Ruth and Boaz lived in 1300 BC? But her story was not written until between 964 - 924 BC. In 1283 BC, It is at this point that Ruth has a major conversion to YHWH. She realizes that the gods of Moab are false gods and sees the virtue of faith never lost in Naomi. 1279 BC Boaz, son of Rahab the harlot, marries Ruth (Ruth 4:13). 1279 BC Boaz, son of Rahab the harlot, marries Ruth (Ruth 4:13). Rahab from the Jericho who hid the spies and hung a red rope from the window, this Rahab is the Mother of Boaz! The Book of Ruth is so interesting and the more I study the more I find out. Their son was Obed, father of Jesse, and grandfather of David. Boaz is mentioned in both the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke as an ancestor of Jesus. Boaz was eighty and Ruth forty years old but their marriage did not remain childless, though Boaz died the day after his wedding. This is sad, after all that to die the next day after your wedding, she had to raise her son with no father. Widowed twice! Just some facts I thought interesting! Happy New Year!
