Ruth Chapter 2 - Boaz Wooing Ruth


Ruth 2:8-17
Boaz protecting Ruth



Acts 1:9-11 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."




Ruth 2:5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"


Ephesians 1:4 He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world


8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen carefully, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but stay here with my maids.


John 15:16 You did not choose Me but I chose you


John 15:19 I chose you out of the world



9 "…I have commanded the servants not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what the servants draw."

14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar."

So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left.

15 When she rose to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not insult her.

16 "Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean"

17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.



Song of Solomon 1:7 7 "Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where do you pasture? Where do you lie down at noon?”


Song of Solomon 3:1-2 Night after night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him but did not find him.
'I must arise now and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares. I must seek him whom my soul loves.
I sought him but did not find him



Revelation 8:3-4 An angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.


Song of Solomon 3:6 Who is this coming up with columns of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense?



Hosea 11:4 I lead them with cords of love, with cords of a man



2 Corinthians 5:14 The love of Christ controls us


Psalm 32:9 Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check; Otherwise they will not come near to you.


1 Thessalonians 4:1 We exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel (“abound”) still more.
