1. "나오미에게 아들이 태어났다 하여 그의 이름을 오벳이라 하였는데 그는 다윗의 아버지인 이새의 아버지였더라" 이 말은 누가 하였는가?
At the behest of Naomi, Ruth, in effect, proposed marriage to Boaz, who accepted. But according to established law and custom, Boaz had to consult with those who were closer of kin, "in order to restore the name of the dead to his inheritance."
"And Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the next of kin, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. So Boaz said, "Turn aside, friend; sit down here"; and he turned aside and sat down.
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here"; so they sat down. Then he said to the next of kin, "Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land which belonged to our kinsman Elimelech. So I thought I would tell you of it, and say, Buy it in the presence of those sitting here, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you."
And he said, "I will redeem it."
Then Boaz said, "The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you are also buying Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the dead, in order to restore the name of the dead to his inheritance."
Then the next of kin said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it." (Ruth 4:1-6 RSV)
And so Boaz and Ruth were married. To them a child was born, Obed, who would become the father of Jesse, who would become the father of King David - the key human ancestor of Jesus Christ.
"So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and The Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son." (Ruth 4:13 RSV)
"Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed, Obed of Jesse, and Jesse of David." (Ruth 4:21-22 RSV)
