The story of Ruth concludes with the birth of Ruth and Boaz's son, Obed. Here, Boaz blesses his son and dreams of how YHWH will use him to be a blessing to the whole world.

Naomi and Ruth make plans for how to create a new life and a new home in Bethlehem. While gleaning in the fields, Ruth encounters Boaz who might just be able to provide the land redemption that Naomi and Ruth so despearately need to make life work in Israel.

Evan Ng - In Solitude

In this monologue, Boaz appraises his Next-of-Kin's decision to refuse to redeem Naomi's land and marry Ruth and challenges him to see Ruth as a the women of virtue described in Proverbs 31. In some periods in history, the book of Ruth has followed the book of wisdom called Proverbs which ends with Proverb's 31's. Many commentaros of this passage say that it refers to Lady Wisdom, the personified description of God's wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Christians in the Medieval era saw Proverbs 31 as a description of the vocation of the Church.
