* When Boaz proposed to Ruth he spread his covering over her.

* God did the same thing with His own people.

* This is a great picture of what men are to do for their wives.

* Spreading the covering is two-fold:

* 1) Taking possession - this is provision.

* 2) Covering Nakedness - this is protection.

* Here in Ezekiel God goes even further:

* 3) He beautified her - this is prioritization.

* vs 13 - “then” she arose a queen.

* She wasn’t a queen until her man provided, protected, and prioritized her.
