Ruwth and Bo’az emerge as Yahowah’s prophetic remedy for Yisra’el, revealing the Kinsman Redeemer, Shaday, Shuwb, the ’Amah, and the restoration of Yahuwdym to the Covenant. This presentation examines No’omy’s bitterness, the meaning of Shaday, the barley harvest, Pesach, Beyth Lechem, and the redeployment of trusted souls including Chanowk. Through detailed Hebrew analysis, the story of Ruwth and Bo’az exposes open rebellion, redemption, reconciliation, and Yahowah’s plan to gather and restore His people through the coming fulfillment of the Miqra’ey.
00:00:00 ~ Intro ~ Verbatim
00:02:16 ~ “It is not in your best interest to plead with me to abandon you or to return from following you to the very end. This is because where you go, I will go. Where you abide, I will live. Your people are my family, and your God is my God.”
00:18:24 ~ “You believe that it was God who wronged you rather than you who wronged God. You think He has troubled you when you are the one who has troubled Him. You are the evil ones, not Him.”
00:32:07 ~ “God wanted His people to know, in spite of who they had become and having cursed Him, after having erased His name and betrayed Him, when they Shuwb~return~they will be accepted and Shuwb~restored~with open arms.”
00:44:48 ~ “At this time, we are exposed to Ruwth, the outsider who would resolve Yisra’el’s rebellion against God. So what we’re discovering is that the rabbis have inverted reality. Ruwth didn’t convert to Judaism. She destroyed it.”
00:49:12 ~ “In Ruwth’s mind, her mission was not only urgent, but it would be unrelenting~the journey of many lifetimes. She was about the barley harvest. She would be about opening that door that is celebrated during the barley harvest of Pesach. She would join Bo’az in the harvest, gleaning souls in the cultivated fields, and in the end, she would be there to collect whatever remained, especially of the remnant.”

00:00:02The Yadda B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Yadda
00:00:04Walk with Yadda
00:00:09Settle yourself and step in
00:00:10Let the truth begin
00:00:12Open the door and hear it clear
00:00:14Yadda on the mic as we bring it simple and true
00:00:17A chance to shoot is coming right at you
00:00:20Listen in for the light in these last times
00:00:23Now let's go live with Yadda
00:00:28This is a marvelous story that's tucked into the corners of the Torah and Prophets
00:00:34It is a story that most pass over thinking it's just cute
00:00:39It's not as prophetic as the others
00:00:44It's not as revealing as some
00:00:47And yet, by doing so, they miss one of the most profoundly prophetic stories
00:00:54Ever recorded
00:00:56It's the story of Ruth
00:00:58And of Boaz
00:01:00And how they emerged and were brought to the fore by Yahweh
00:01:05For the express purpose of saving
00:01:10Israel from itself
00:01:11The country was engaged
00:01:13In a bitter civil war over the most decadent and destructive
00:01:22Abusive encounter ever recorded
00:01:25In the Torah or Prophets
00:01:27It is the deadly rape of a woman
00:01:30And then her dismemberment leading to civil war
00:01:35And the story of Ruth and Boaz is the remedy for all of that
00:01:39But beyond that, of course
00:01:41It is the story of the kinsman redeemer
00:01:45And of the Amma
00:01:46And of God speaking through and working through these two individuals
00:01:54To save Israel from itself
00:01:57It is a tender love story
00:01:59But it is also a powerful prophetic revelation
00:02:04On the way into town
00:02:07It was Ruth who uttered one of the most memorable lines in world history
00:02:14Ruth said
00:02:15It is not in your best interest
00:02:18To plead with me
00:02:20To abandon you
00:02:21Or to return from following you to the very end
00:02:26This is because
00:02:28Where you go
00:02:29I will go
00:02:31Where you abide
00:02:32I will live
00:02:34Your people are my family
00:02:37And your God
00:02:38Is my God
00:02:40God
00:02:42It was
00:02:43Profound
00:02:44Of course
00:02:45It was prophetic
00:02:47Quite possibly the most powerful pronouncement
00:02:50Any woman
00:02:52Has ever made
00:02:53It is absolutely worth our undivided attention
00:02:59She knew that if
00:03:01Naomi, the person she was speaking to
00:03:03Did not
00:03:05Pay attention to what she was saying
00:03:07That it would be over for
00:03:08For not just Naomi
00:03:11But for every woman
00:03:13In Israel
00:03:15And not just at that moment
00:03:16For all time
00:03:21It would also be over
00:03:23For the men of Israel
00:03:26As their attitude was as obnoxious
00:03:29As was Naomi's
00:03:31And so
00:03:32She said
00:03:33It is not in your interest to do this
00:03:37Because
00:03:38Ultimately
00:03:38I will go where you go
00:03:40I will live where you love
00:03:43Your people
00:03:44Are my people
00:03:45And your God
00:03:48Is my God
00:03:50Yes indeed
00:03:52Profound
00:03:53Prophetic
00:03:54Powerful
00:03:56For the benefits of the relationship
00:03:58Where you die
00:03:59I will pass away
00:04:01And there I will be buried
00:04:02May Yahweh choose to act
00:04:05And engage with me
00:04:06Such that he benefits
00:04:08And to such an extent
00:04:10He wants to repeat this association
00:04:14Indeed
00:04:15Only in the absence of life
00:04:18Will there be separation
00:04:20In this understanding
00:04:21Between me
00:04:23And these insights
00:04:25Regarding you
00:04:28The book of Ruth
00:04:291 16 and 17
00:04:33Never my friends
00:04:35And the animals
00:04:36Annals of human history
00:04:39Have so many been blessed
00:04:41By the words of a woman
00:04:42Spoken
00:04:44In collaboration
00:04:45With her God
00:04:47And so
00:04:49This
00:04:51Is really extraordinary
00:04:53And in this
00:04:55She said something
00:04:56That heretofore
00:04:57No one has ever bothered
00:04:59To consider
00:05:00And yet
00:05:00There it was
00:05:01Bold-faced
00:05:02For all to see
00:05:05May Yahweh
00:05:06Choose to act
00:05:08And engage with me
00:05:10Such that he benefits
00:05:11To such an extent
00:05:13He wants to repeat
00:05:15This association
00:05:18Think of that
00:05:20She's
00:05:22Speaking as
00:05:23Chanuk
00:05:25The one that
00:05:26Yahweh took
00:05:27Because he
00:05:28Enjoyed
00:05:29His relationship
00:05:31With him so much
00:05:32A man that
00:05:33He would redeploy
00:05:35For that same reason
00:05:37Ruth was speaking
00:05:38As one
00:05:39Who was so intent
00:05:42On pleasing God
00:05:45That
00:05:46She knew God
00:05:47Would redeploy her
00:05:48And he did
00:05:49Eight times in total
00:05:52This being one of them
00:05:58When Naomi
00:06:00Observed that indeed
00:06:03She was
00:06:04Emets
00:06:06Independently strong
00:06:08Personally
00:06:10Courageous
00:06:11And so persistent
00:06:13That she was unaffected
00:06:15By any outside influence
00:06:17This by the way
00:06:18Was also said of Chanuk
00:06:20And again
00:06:21Of Noah
00:06:23Regarding her traveling
00:06:24Through life
00:06:25With her
00:06:26She
00:06:28Ceased
00:06:29From speaking
00:06:30Anymore
00:06:31To her
00:06:32There was no reason
00:06:34To even attempt
00:06:36To talk Ruth
00:06:37Out of this
00:06:38The chances of that
00:06:40Happening
00:06:41Were nil
00:06:42And Naomi
00:06:43And Naomi
00:06:44Had more
00:06:45Than met her match
00:06:46And she decided
00:06:47To
00:06:48Clamp it
00:06:50And it was a good thing
00:06:51Because after someone
00:06:52Delivers their greatest speech
00:06:54Of all time
00:06:54You know
00:06:56The best thing you could do
00:06:57Is perhaps
00:06:58To punctuate it
00:06:59With applause
00:07:00But
00:07:01You don't provide
00:07:03Additional commentary
00:07:06Credibility
00:07:08Breeds confidence
00:07:09And
00:07:09Confidence is
00:07:11Contagious
00:07:12That notwithstanding
00:07:14We are in the presence
00:07:15Of polar opposites
00:07:16Inspired and deceived
00:07:18Positive
00:07:19And negative
00:07:21Uplifting
00:07:23And depressing
00:07:25As is the case
00:07:27With Israel
00:07:28It's long past
00:07:29Time that people
00:07:30Stopped
00:07:31Talking
00:07:33And started
00:07:34Listening
00:07:36This
00:07:36Should have been a step
00:07:37In the right direction
00:07:38For Naomi
00:07:40But it wasn't yet
00:07:43This woman
00:07:44From Moab
00:07:46Already knew
00:07:47More about Yahweh
00:07:49And every Jew
00:07:51On this planet
00:07:53Today
00:07:54And probably
00:07:55More
00:07:56Than all of them
00:07:57Combined
00:07:59At the time
00:08:00Of this writing
00:08:01While the nation
00:08:02Of Israel
00:08:03Did not yet exist
00:08:04As a
00:08:05Independent state
00:08:07Bethlehem
00:08:08Was the breadbasket
00:08:09Of Yahudah
00:08:11And it was the heart
00:08:12Of the land
00:08:14It would have been
00:08:15Glorious to see
00:08:16With barley
00:08:17And wheat fields
00:08:18Stretching as far
00:08:19As the eye
00:08:20Could see
00:08:21And blowing
00:08:21In the wind
00:08:23Shimmering
00:08:24In the sun
00:08:27The two of them
00:08:28Walked as witnesses
00:08:29All the way
00:08:30Until their arrival
00:08:32At Ba'ath
00:08:33Lekham
00:08:35The home of bread
00:08:37But also
00:08:37The house of conflict
00:08:39When they were
00:08:41When they were like this
00:08:43Upon their entering
00:08:44Into Ba'ath
00:08:46Lekham
00:08:47Then the entire community
00:08:49Was surprised
00:08:50And they were stirred up
00:08:51They were whom
00:08:53They were somewhat confused
00:08:55And a little disquieted
00:08:56Distracted
00:08:58Murmuring
00:08:59On account of them
00:09:00Then the women said
00:09:02This
00:09:03Is
00:09:04Naomi
00:09:06Ruth
00:09:07Shepherdess
00:09:08Ruth
00:09:09119
00:09:11She said to them
00:09:12Oh boy
00:09:13This is not good
00:09:15Do not call out to me
00:09:18Do not call out to me
00:09:19Or summon me
00:09:19As Naomi
00:09:21Delightful
00:09:22And favored
00:09:23Call me
00:09:23Mara
00:09:24Pungent
00:09:25And disagreeable
00:09:26And bittered
00:09:28And despairing
00:09:30Because
00:09:31Shade
00:09:32Has been
00:09:34Tremendously
00:09:35Frustrated
00:09:36With me
00:09:39Ruth
00:09:40Shepherdess
00:09:41120
00:09:41Boy that's how to win friends
00:09:43And influence people
00:09:44Isn't it?
00:09:45You return to
00:09:46The town
00:09:47That you had abandoned
00:09:49During the time
00:09:51Of conflict
00:09:51You've lost your husband
00:09:54And both of your sons
00:09:56And you're returning
00:09:57Empty handed
00:09:58And the
00:09:59People recognize
00:10:01Who you are
00:10:02After a 10 year absence
00:10:05And they
00:10:06Call out to you
00:10:07By name
00:10:08But you say
00:10:09Nah
00:10:09I don't want to be
00:10:11Ever called
00:10:12Naomi again
00:10:13Call me
00:10:14Embittered
00:10:17She's the woman
00:10:18That named
00:10:18One of her sons
00:10:19Diseased
00:10:20And the other one
00:10:21Exterminated
00:10:22So
00:10:23She was
00:10:24Pretty clever
00:10:25With names
00:10:26Don't you think?
00:10:29But
00:10:31Clever
00:10:33Isn't
00:10:34Necessarily
00:10:34Good
00:10:36What are we to make of Shade?
00:10:39What are we to make of Shade?
00:10:41If we focus on the Shade
00:10:44Beginning
00:10:46It's a reprehensible title
00:10:49Or so it appears
00:10:52Said is a demon
00:10:53And Sod speaks of plundering
00:10:55Of oppressing
00:10:56And of destroying
00:10:58And that
00:10:59Unfortunately
00:11:00Is how Naomi meant it
00:11:04At issue however
00:11:06Is that the rabbinical confusion
00:11:08Created via
00:11:09Diacritical markings
00:11:10To distinguish
00:11:11Between the letter
00:11:13Shen
00:11:14Versus the
00:11:15Sen
00:11:16So
00:11:16Confusion aside
00:11:17Shida
00:11:20Is a
00:11:22Concubine
00:11:22And
00:11:24Shadad
00:11:24Is to devastate
00:11:27Nevertheless
00:11:27There is every reason
00:11:29To conclude
00:11:30That
00:11:31Naomi's intent
00:11:32Was to disparage
00:11:34Yahweh
00:11:36Now just the opposite
00:11:38I'm motivated
00:11:39To seek
00:11:40Elucidation
00:11:41From
00:11:41The
00:11:42Conclusion
00:11:43Of Shade
00:11:45Day
00:11:46And what we find
00:11:47Is that
00:11:47Day
00:11:49Is an adroit
00:11:49Fit for what we know
00:11:51About Yahweh
00:11:51It speaks of
00:11:53Offering
00:11:54What is necessary
00:11:56And sufficient
00:11:56To meet the need
00:11:59Defined by Day
00:12:00We can be assured
00:12:02That Yahweh
00:12:03Will always provide us
00:12:04With
00:12:05Enough to prevail
00:12:07Further
00:12:08Day reveals that
00:12:09He isn't going to
00:12:10Overwhelm anyone
00:12:11He's not going to
00:12:12Show off
00:12:13In any situation
00:12:15With
00:12:15An excessive
00:12:16Show of
00:12:17Personal power
00:12:18Or force
00:12:19When there are
00:12:20Subtle options
00:12:22And approaches
00:12:22That are more consistent
00:12:24With his nature
00:12:25And purpose
00:12:27Like
00:12:28Deploying souls
00:12:29That he trusts
00:12:30To accomplish
00:12:31His goals
00:12:32Like
00:12:32Ruth
00:12:33For example
00:12:34Now in this life
00:12:36Day affirms
00:12:37That Yahweh
00:12:37Will
00:12:37Redeploy
00:12:39This strategy
00:12:40As often as
00:12:42Is necessary
00:12:43That is why
00:12:44Exodus 3
00:12:455
00:12:46Serves as a proof
00:12:47Text
00:12:48As does
00:12:49Isaiah
00:12:5066
00:12:5123
00:12:52Therefore
00:12:53Day
00:12:54Which is
00:12:55The doorway
00:12:56That is
00:12:58Opened
00:12:58By the very
00:12:59Hand of God
00:13:02Becomes
00:13:03Shade
00:13:04With the addition
00:13:05Of the shin
00:13:06Which denotes
00:13:09Which denotes
00:13:09The spoken word
00:13:09So the spoken word
00:13:13Opens
00:13:14The doorway
00:13:16Of the hand of God
00:13:19So it's really a lovely word
00:13:22When its meaning is deduced from the letters which comprised it
00:13:29Now this known
00:13:31Now this known
00:13:31It was the most negative interpretation that
00:13:37Naomi referred to when she was calling Yahweh Shadeh
00:13:42She had used his name before so she knew his name so she was just slandering him
00:13:48It's something that Jews are very good at doing
00:13:51She believed that she had been plundered and that he had deliberately destroyed her
00:14:00And that would be shocking if it was not also indicative of Israelis at this very moment
00:14:08If it were not for recognizing the prophetic implications of Naomi
00:14:13Accusing Shadeh of Ra'ah mistreating her in a malignant manner cursing God as evil
00:14:22I may have walked away from this book at this point
00:14:25Saying you know I don't really need the aggravation of another malcontent Israeli
00:14:31This is among the worst statements a Yehud has ever made pertaining to God
00:14:38And it follows one of the most powerful and beautiful a woman has ever made in favor of God
00:14:46What a contrast between Ruth and Israel
00:14:53And while it makes it worse not better to view it prophetically
00:14:59The impugning Jews of yesterday and today
00:15:02At least the degrading comments serve a purpose
00:15:07Juxtaposed against Ruth's soaring oratory
00:15:10We find the Moabite saving Israel's
00:15:15From themselves
00:15:20So as this story progresses
00:15:22Ruth will actually lift
00:15:25Naomi's troubled soul out of the gutter
00:15:28But for now
00:15:30She was still wallowing in her delusions and antagonism
00:15:36She actually said
00:15:38I was filled with satisfaction and complete
00:15:42When I walked away
00:15:44I'm calling bull
00:15:46If she was filled with satisfaction and complete
00:15:49When she walked away
00:15:51Why did she walk away?
00:15:54There really wasn't a famine there
00:15:56There really wasn't a famine there
00:15:56What there was was a deprivation
00:15:58Of what was nurturing and beneficial
00:16:01Because Israel was engaged in the civil war
00:16:04Over the horrible treatment of women
00:16:08So she was not filled with satisfaction and complete
00:16:11She was lying
00:16:14When I walked away
00:16:16When I walked away
00:16:17And Yahweh returned me
00:16:19No, he didn't return you
00:16:21You chose to came back
00:16:22Come back on your own
00:16:24And you didn't come back to Yahweh
00:16:27You came back because you had
00:16:30No hope where you were
00:16:32And Yahweh returned me
00:16:34Empty handed
00:16:35And unfulfilled
00:16:37Just the opposite
00:16:40He returned you
00:16:41With the most precious resource
00:16:44In the universe
00:16:45The Yama
00:16:50There's nothing
00:16:52More fulfilling
00:16:54Than the woman who gives rebirth
00:16:56To Israel
00:16:59Therefore
00:17:00Why call that which pertains to me
00:17:03Kind, beautiful, and delightful
00:17:05Even favored
00:17:06I agree with that
00:17:09Yahweh responded
00:17:11Ana
00:17:11Regarding me
00:17:13And Shaddai
00:17:16I'm going to render it as the sufficient one
00:17:19But that is not what she meant
00:17:21She meant the demonic one
00:17:25Was wrong
00:17:28Pertaining to me
00:17:30Troubling and harmful
00:17:32Because he was evil
00:17:35And he mistreated me
00:17:38Ra'a la'ani
00:17:41Outside of the chosen people
00:17:43No one ever has chosen
00:17:45To speak so badly of God
00:17:51There is a real
00:17:53Problem with skipping over books
00:17:54Like Ruth
00:17:56Because when you do
00:17:57You remain ignorant of
00:17:59Your people's past
00:18:00And you don't know that your people's past
00:18:03Pertains to your people's present
00:18:07You refer to God
00:18:09By an entirely different name
00:18:13You demean him
00:18:14Because you prefer the rabbis
00:18:19You wrote him out of your lives
00:18:24You
00:18:25Believe
00:18:26That it was God who wronged you
00:18:29Rather than you
00:18:30Who wronged God
00:18:34You think he has troubled you
00:18:36When you are the one who has troubled him
00:18:40You are the evil ones
00:18:44Not him
00:18:49She said he was bad
00:18:51And miserable towards me
00:18:55This was spoken in the
00:18:57Hiffl perfect third person masculine singular
00:19:00In other words
00:19:02She is saying that God
00:19:04Was the one who influenced her
00:19:06In a
00:19:08Highly negative
00:19:11Malignant
00:19:12And disgusting
00:19:13And disgusting matter
00:19:17That was Ruth
00:19:19121
00:19:19You may want to underscore that
00:19:21If you are a Jew and think that
00:19:23Your God loves you
00:19:26At this moment
00:19:28Naomi was stewing in shame
00:19:31She left her people without a husband
00:19:33And
00:19:34She left her people
00:19:35I should say with a husband
00:19:36And with two sons
00:19:38And she came back a widow
00:19:40It was heartbroken over having to bury the fruit of her womb
00:19:43I understand that
00:19:46Still not a reason to blame God
00:19:48He didn't cause them to die
00:19:52And she did what most have done
00:19:54Yeah, she blamed God for the deaths of those she loved
00:19:58God had nothing to do with it
00:20:01And while
00:20:02She was right to grieve the loss of her husband and sons
00:20:06She was also humiliated
00:20:07Because as an old and childless widow
00:20:10With a really crappy attitude
00:20:13Having abandoned her people during a difficult time
00:20:17In most cultures
00:20:18She would have been rejected
00:20:20She'd have been thrown out on her ear
00:20:25However, that was not the case
00:20:27And likely because of the influence of the city's
00:20:32Most influential man
00:20:35Perhaps the second most influential man in the history
00:20:38Of Yisrael
00:20:40Maybe even the world
00:20:43That man's name is Boaz
00:20:47Clearly some were confused by the return of a childless
00:20:51Aging widow
00:20:52With a
00:20:54Malcontent
00:20:55Disposition
00:20:56And others were
00:20:59Concerned with Naomi
00:21:01Aggravating the situation
00:21:02By blaming God
00:21:04For her troubles
00:21:07Nevertheless
00:21:07She was received magnanimously in Bethlehem
00:21:11And that is a story worth celebrating
00:21:15Her return under these circumstances
00:21:18Would not have played out this way
00:21:21Anywhere else on the planet
00:21:24Particularly at this time
00:21:25And it would not have occurred
00:21:27Without the influence
00:21:31Of Boaz
00:21:32There's a reason his name
00:21:35And only his name
00:21:38Appears on Yahweh's home
00:21:43Based upon what follows in the second chapter
00:21:46I think that it was Boaz
00:21:48Who made Bethlehem
00:21:51And Yahudah
00:21:52A welcoming place
00:21:55To an old widow
00:21:56who was grumbling about God
00:21:58He respected Yahweh
00:22:01And so did those who worked for him
00:22:03And with him in this community
00:22:05He was attuned
00:22:07To God's Torah
00:22:09His guidance
00:22:10Regarding our proper
00:22:13Treatment of widows
00:22:14And reflected his perceptions
00:22:16And his instructions
00:22:18To his staff
00:22:20Moreover
00:22:22Yahudah was still under the influence
00:22:24Of the Shifat judges
00:22:26With them resolving disputes
00:22:28In ways which
00:22:29Were discerning
00:22:31And moral
00:22:33Moreover in another life
00:22:35Boaz
00:22:36Would be positioned
00:22:38Not once but twice
00:22:40As a Shifat
00:22:41He is the judge and jury
00:22:43Of the remnant
00:22:45Of humankind
00:22:47But most of all
00:22:49The exceedingly favorable response
00:22:52Is simply because Boaz
00:22:55Serves as an exemplar
00:22:56Who led by example
00:22:59He was foreshadowing
00:23:01How God
00:23:01Will ultimately
00:23:02Respond to his people
00:23:04Even in recognition
00:23:05That they have said
00:23:07Far worse things
00:23:09Regarding him
00:23:12While it was all
00:23:13Of these things and more
00:23:15There was something
00:23:16Even more interesting
00:23:17Afoot here
00:23:18Why did Ruth
00:23:20Decide to support a woman
00:23:23Who had
00:23:24A
00:23:26Well had become her own
00:23:27Worst enemy
00:23:29And then follow her to a place
00:23:31Where it was all but certain
00:23:33That both of them
00:23:35Would be rejected
00:23:37Why did she do so
00:23:38What did she know
00:23:39And when did she become aware of it
00:23:43So that she could make
00:23:44That extraordinary
00:23:47pronouncement
00:23:48On the way into town
00:23:49Now this is no small point
00:23:51Ruth just gave the most
00:23:54Resounding speech
00:23:55About Yahweh
00:23:56And Yehudah
00:23:57Ever proclaimed
00:23:59And the odds
00:24:00Against it working out
00:24:02Favorably
00:24:03Were a billion to one
00:24:05Especially in the shadow of this
00:24:07Disgusting diatribe
00:24:09By Naomi
00:24:13Wanting Israel today
00:24:15To see themselves
00:24:17In this portrait
00:24:18And accept the potential
00:24:21For reconciliation
00:24:22As rotten as they have been
00:24:24To God
00:24:26And at the hands
00:24:27Of an observant foreigner
00:24:31The Nakar
00:24:32Is why God shared
00:24:35What we have just heard
00:24:37He did not reveal
00:24:39These words that were so
00:24:40Harmful
00:24:41So hurtful
00:24:43So reprehensible
00:24:45About him
00:24:46For any other reason
00:24:49Than for Israel
00:24:50To see themselves
00:24:51In it
00:24:51And to recognize
00:24:52That Naomi
00:24:53Could be redeemed
00:24:55And was
00:24:57But not by
00:24:59Just anybody
00:25:02By the people
00:25:03That you
00:25:04Don't even acknowledge
00:25:07Ruth
00:25:08Ruth
00:25:09And Boaz
00:25:13The opening chapter
00:25:14Of Ruth
00:25:15Was memorialized
00:25:16In anticipation
00:25:17That God's people
00:25:18Will realize
00:25:19That
00:25:21Even now
00:25:22They remain
00:25:22Naomi
00:25:24My favorite
00:25:25In spite of what
00:25:27They have said and done
00:25:28And should they
00:25:29Shew return
00:25:31He will accept them
00:25:33Just as Beth
00:25:34Let Lechem
00:25:35Receive the childless widow
00:25:37Who had been
00:25:39Estranged for a decade
00:25:42Shub is what Yahweh
00:25:44Asks of his people
00:25:45Even now
00:25:47They are
00:25:48Naomi
00:25:50They have said
00:25:51What she said
00:25:54They still curse God
00:25:56And they blame him
00:25:57For everything
00:26:00Yahweh however
00:26:01Is who he is
00:26:03And Ruth
00:26:04The feminine
00:26:05Companion
00:26:05Is one
00:26:07In a hundred billion
00:26:09She is Asshar
00:26:10A benefit
00:26:11And blessing
00:26:13She is the Amma
00:26:14The most complete
00:26:15Mother
00:26:17And so this is
00:26:18Prophetic of her
00:26:19Collaboration with Yahweh
00:26:20And Boaz
00:26:21As they deliver
00:26:22The kinsman redeemer
00:26:24To save Yehudah
00:26:26From what
00:26:27They have
00:26:28Become
00:26:29Come
00:26:30The rabbis
00:26:31Think that there is
00:26:32A messiah
00:26:33Of unknown
00:26:34Name
00:26:35Who is coming
00:26:36To save them
00:26:37From the goyim
00:26:39And actually
00:26:40It's the kinsman redeemer
00:26:41Who Yahweh
00:26:42Anointed the messiah
00:26:43Three times
00:26:44His name is
00:26:45Dode
00:26:45Beloved
00:26:46And he is saving them
00:26:47From themselves
00:26:51Are you listening?
00:26:55Therefore
00:26:56Naomi
00:26:57My
00:26:58Favored one
00:26:59Returned
00:27:00Shishub
00:27:02And it gets better
00:27:03As a result
00:27:04Israel you still
00:27:05Have not done so
00:27:07Along with Ruth
00:27:08The feminine companion
00:27:09Pleasurable mate
00:27:11And nurturing
00:27:12Shepherdess
00:27:17Ruth
00:27:18Longing to associate
00:27:20To befriend
00:27:21And striving
00:27:21To teach
00:27:22The flock
00:27:25Ha
00:27:26Moabi
00:27:28Consider the one
00:27:29Who is her father
00:27:32The one who will complete this
00:27:35With her
00:27:37And perfect her
00:27:38By finishing this
00:27:40For her
00:27:41Kalah
00:27:44To fulfill
00:27:45To finish
00:27:47To complete
00:27:51All to shub
00:27:53To return
00:27:54And restore
00:27:57There
00:27:58Are finishers
00:27:59In God's
00:28:00Covenant family
00:28:02Two in particular
00:28:03Ruth and Boaz
00:28:04And just as Ruth had
00:28:07Hoped
00:28:07God has redeployed
00:28:09She and her future
00:28:11Husband
00:28:11Many times
00:28:12And the reason is
00:28:15They always get it done
00:28:17They are God's
00:28:18Kalah
00:28:20They finish the job
00:28:21They fulfill the mission
00:28:23And as a result
00:28:25It's now possible
00:28:27For Israel
00:28:27To shub
00:28:29To return
00:28:30And to be restored
00:28:34This is the secret
00:28:36To your success
00:28:37Israel
00:28:39If you want to be counted
00:28:40Amongst that permanent
00:28:43And this was all
00:28:44From the broad
00:28:45And opened way
00:28:46Of Moab
00:28:48Of questionable
00:28:49Parentage
00:28:51And they arrived
00:28:53At Bethlehem
00:28:54The home of bread
00:28:55And the house
00:28:56Of conflict
00:28:56In conjunction
00:28:57With the beginning
00:28:59Of the barley
00:29:01Harvest
00:29:02Shara
00:29:03Horse grain
00:29:04From Shara
00:29:06To sweep
00:29:06The dreaded
00:29:07And fearsome
00:29:08Storms away
00:29:09And Katsir
00:29:10For harvest
00:29:12Reaping
00:29:13The ungathering
00:29:14Ruth
00:29:16Shepherdess
00:29:17122
00:29:20So on this day
00:29:21We witness Ruth
00:29:22Come out of Moab
00:29:25On another
00:29:26Her soon-to-be
00:29:27And once again
00:29:27Husband
00:29:29Will emerge
00:29:30From Edom
00:29:32Shunach
00:29:32And his wife
00:29:34Had given birth
00:29:34To the longest-lived
00:29:36Neshama man
00:29:37And then returned
00:29:38To save the world
00:29:40From the Nephalim
00:29:42As
00:29:44Noach
00:29:44And his wife
00:29:46It was then
00:29:46That they bore
00:29:47And raised Shem
00:29:48The name of renown
00:29:51And as we have
00:29:52Recently surmised
00:29:53They raised
00:29:54Moshe
00:29:55As Amram
00:29:58And
00:29:59Yochabed
00:30:00Yahweh's
00:30:02Significant one
00:30:06This would be
00:30:07Their fourth deployment
00:30:08And while it is
00:30:09Off to a rough start
00:30:10That is
00:30:11By design
00:30:13It is
00:30:14By overcoming
00:30:16Challenges
00:30:16And completing
00:30:17The mission
00:30:18That we prevail
00:30:19It's not by putting
00:30:20In a
00:30:21Be put in a position
00:30:22Where everything is just
00:30:23Wonderful
00:30:24Beautiful
00:30:24And there are
00:30:26Daffodils
00:30:27And daisies
00:30:29Smiling
00:30:29In the sun
00:30:31That proves nothing
00:30:33This
00:30:34Would be a very
00:30:36Challenging
00:30:37Exceedingly
00:30:38Difficult mission
00:30:39Also
00:30:40Also the most beautiful
00:30:41And joyous one
00:30:45Therefore
00:30:46It is by
00:30:47Overcoming
00:30:48The challenges
00:30:49That were laid
00:30:49Before them
00:30:50By a disgruntled
00:30:51Naomi
00:30:52And the elders
00:30:53Of Bethlehem
00:30:54Were far worse
00:30:56Far more condescending
00:30:58But they overcame
00:30:59These challenges
00:31:01And they prevailed
00:31:03It is the difficult
00:31:06It is the difficult
00:31:07That requires effort
00:31:10It is the challenge
00:31:12That proves our worth
00:31:16And for these two
00:31:17It has all led
00:31:19To this place
00:31:23I am so glad my Wookiee
00:31:25Is paying attention
00:31:26And sitting there
00:31:27In the chair
00:31:28Beside the library
00:31:29Nice job Wookiee
00:31:32It is all led
00:31:34To methodically
00:31:36Setting up
00:31:38God's story
00:31:39To reveal
00:31:40The fallen state
00:31:41Of Israel
00:31:42Some
00:31:44People even dogs
00:31:45Can't handle
00:31:46A claim
00:31:48He's called now
00:31:49Underneath another chair
00:31:53And Yehudim
00:31:55At this time
00:31:58Was involved
00:31:59In many
00:31:59Malignant musings
00:32:01Which are reflected
00:32:02In Naoma's
00:32:04Soliloquy
00:32:07God wanted
00:32:08His people to know
00:32:08In spite of
00:32:09Who they had become
00:32:12And having
00:32:13Cursed him
00:32:16After having
00:32:17Erased his name
00:32:19And betrayed him
00:32:20When they Shub
00:32:22Return
00:32:23They will be accepted
00:32:24And Shub
00:32:25Restored with
00:32:27Open arms
00:32:29And yet
00:32:31There will be one
00:32:32Taker in 10,000
00:32:34When that opportunity
00:32:36Is finally offered
00:32:38It will occur
00:32:40Because of what
00:32:41Happened here
00:32:42In Bethlehem
00:32:44Not just this once
00:32:45But twice more
00:32:47The Bekor
00:32:49Firstborn son of God
00:32:50Emerges
00:32:51From this place
00:32:53And it is he
00:32:54Who will
00:32:55Fulfill
00:32:56Pesach
00:32:57And Matzah
00:32:57To enable
00:32:58The barley harvest
00:33:00Of Bukurim
00:33:02This
00:33:03In and of itself
00:33:04Is sufficiently
00:33:05Important
00:33:06And prophetic
00:33:08To place the
00:33:09Book of Ruth
00:33:11At the top
00:33:11Of the shelf
00:33:12And as an
00:33:14Essential read
00:33:15As we call
00:33:17Once favored
00:33:19People
00:33:20Back home
00:33:22However
00:33:22We're just
00:33:23Getting
00:33:24Started
00:33:25In this
00:33:26Story
00:33:28Now I'm going to go
00:33:29A little longer
00:33:30Even though we have
00:33:31Completed the
00:33:33First chapter of
00:33:34Ruth
00:33:35We're only 33
00:33:36Minutes
00:33:37Into this
00:33:38Evening's program
00:33:39So we'll
00:33:40Proceed a bit
00:33:41Longer
00:33:42Even though this
00:33:43Was the goal
00:33:44Of the
00:33:45Famed producer
00:33:47To say
00:33:48We could limit
00:33:49These shows
00:33:50To 30 minutes
00:33:51And then you can
00:33:52Finish your books
00:33:53That is true
00:33:54But this is more fun
00:33:56Than editing
00:33:57Those books
00:34:01Boaz
00:34:03In power and
00:34:04Might
00:34:05He is
00:34:07The ultimate
00:34:08Exemplar for
00:34:08God's people
00:34:11So while Ruth
00:34:12Is the heroine
00:34:14In God's
00:34:15Story
00:34:16She is
00:34:16Not alone
00:34:17And while it was
00:34:19Naomi who
00:34:20Brought her to this
00:34:22Place
00:34:23It would be Boaz
00:34:24Who would take her
00:34:25Places
00:34:26Far beyond
00:34:28Bethlehem
00:34:29Where life
00:34:30And love
00:34:31Would
00:34:32Be
00:34:33Eternal
00:34:35So as we
00:34:36Turn the page
00:34:37And move into the
00:34:38Second act of
00:34:39Ruth's story
00:34:40The first thing
00:34:41We notice
00:34:42Is the
00:34:43Transformation
00:34:44Of
00:34:45Naomi
00:34:46My favorite
00:34:47One
00:34:48She is kind
00:34:49And delightful
00:34:50Lovely
00:34:51And sweet
00:34:52Again
00:34:53Just as we
00:34:54Predicted
00:34:55Just as God
00:34:56Foretold
00:34:59And as we
00:35:01Witness this
00:35:02We will also see
00:35:03This same
00:35:04Transformation
00:35:05In the remnant
00:35:06Of Yisrael
00:35:07On Teruah
00:35:08In year 6000
00:35:09Yah
00:35:10Those who have been
00:35:11Stiff-necked
00:35:12And those who have been
00:35:14Embittered
00:35:15Towards Yahweh
00:35:16They're going to change
00:35:17Their minds
00:35:18They will change
00:35:19Their attitudes
00:35:20They will shub
00:35:23Now this is the second
00:35:24Most
00:35:26Amazing
00:35:26Introduction
00:35:27Found
00:35:28Anywhere in the
00:35:29Torah Prophets
00:35:30And Psalms
00:35:31The only one that
00:35:32Surpasses it
00:35:33Is by
00:35:35Yahweh
00:35:36In speaking of
00:35:37Dode
00:35:37When he introduces
00:35:39Him to us
00:35:39And then
00:35:41This
00:35:42Case
00:35:43Naomi
00:35:44Is sharing this
00:35:45Assessment
00:35:46Of
00:35:47Boaz
00:35:48Now accordingly
00:35:50Naomi
00:35:50My favorite one
00:35:52Recognized
00:35:53And knew
00:35:54Yada
00:35:55She was aware of
00:35:57And respected
00:35:57Yada
00:35:58Acknowledging
00:35:59And understanding
00:36:01This is in the
00:36:02Pool
00:36:02Participle
00:36:04Masculine
00:36:05Singular
00:36:06And in the
00:36:06Participle form
00:36:07It is an
00:36:08Actionable title
00:36:09She knew
00:36:11Yada
00:36:12Yada
00:36:13Who was related
00:36:14To her
00:36:15Husband
00:36:16As an
00:36:18Exceptionally
00:36:19Mighty
00:36:19Man
00:36:20An individual
00:36:21Of
00:36:22Remarkable character
00:36:23Confidence
00:36:25Conviction
00:36:26And courage
00:36:27Well
00:36:28At least
00:36:29From Yahweh's
00:36:30Perspective
00:36:31And that
00:36:32Should matter
00:36:33He was
00:36:34La
00:36:34Ish
00:36:35Gabor
00:36:35A valiant
00:36:37And heroic

00:36:39Considerable
00:36:40Influence
00:36:41Prominence
00:36:42And
00:36:43Yet

00:36:45Fully
00:36:45Capable
00:36:46Of
00:36:46Defending
00:36:47His

00:36:51Empowering
00:36:52He
00:36:53Was

00:37:17From

00:37:22By being

00:37:25Mishpach

00:37:49Uncompromising
00:37:50Unassailable
00:37:52And
00:37:53Irrefutable
00:37:55Boaz
00:37:56Which
00:37:57Is
00:37:57More
00:37:57Correctly
00:37:59Transliterated
00:38:00As
00:38:01Being
00:38:03Forceful
00:38:04And
00:38:04Fortified
00:38:05Resilient
00:38:05And
00:38:06Resolute
00:38:07It
00:38:07Is
00:38:07A
00:38:07Compound
00:38:08Of
00:38:08Ba
00:38:08In
00:38:09With
00:38:10And
00:38:10By
00:38:10O's
00:38:12Supreme
00:38:13Authority
00:38:13Enormous
00:38:15Influence
00:38:16Overwhelming
00:38:17Empowerment
00:38:18And
00:38:19Commanding
00:38:19Abilities
00:38:20One
00:38:22Who
00:38:22Has
00:38:23The
00:38:23Capacity
00:38:24To
00:38:24Withstand
00:38:25Any
00:38:26Rival
00:38:26Any
00:38:28Challenge
00:38:28Or
00:38:28Attack
00:38:29And
00:38:30Prevail
00:38:30Because
00:38:30He is
00:38:31Confident
00:38:31A man
00:38:34Of
00:38:34Conviction
00:38:35Incontrovertible
00:38:37Undeniable
00:38:39Indisputable
00:38:42And
00:38:44Uncontestable
00:38:46Ruth
00:38:48Two
00:38:49One
00:38:50Boy
00:38:52As
00:38:53Names
00:38:53Go
00:38:53That's a
00:38:54Good
00:38:54One
00:38:55As
00:38:55Introductions
00:38:56Go
00:39:00It's
00:39:00Pretty
00:39:02Impressive
00:39:02But
00:39:03You know
00:39:03When I said
00:39:03There's only one name on Yahweh's home that is Boaz
00:39:06Well there is a title and that title on
00:39:09The other column of the portico of the temple belongs to Doug
00:39:20With the pool stem the object yada endures the effect of the verb which is to know and understand albeit
00:39:28unaffected by Naomi
00:39:31And in the participle form yada is highly descriptive in its service as a verbal noun therefore
00:39:40And I knew that yada was Boaz and now so do you
00:39:50Well yada is an inspiring name encouraging everyone who hears it to know and understand it actually pales in comparison
00:39:59to Boaz and what is said in this circumstance of him in this inspired text
00:40:07This extraordinary introduction and name begins with yada such that he is one who has come to know and acknowledge
00:40:17Yahweh to recognize his son to reveal their claim and he has come to know and understand their message to
00:40:28their people so as to familiarize Israel with their God
00:40:35As is the case with Doe Boaz is an exceptionally mighty man
00:40:41He is a Gabor
00:40:43An individual of remarkable character and courage
00:40:47According to the inspired text again
00:40:51These are not my words although they may have been
00:40:55They have appeared in the
00:40:58Divinely inspired text of the book of Ruth
00:41:01And therefore
00:41:03This is God's
00:41:06Approved
00:41:06Summation
00:41:07Of Boaz
00:41:11As a Gabor
00:41:12Boaz is being presented as a valiant
00:41:15And heroic leader
00:41:17He holds a position of considerable promise
00:41:20And influence
00:41:23With both God and man
00:41:24He is combative
00:41:26And he's ready to fight
00:41:28For what he knows is right
00:41:29For what he knows is right
00:41:30He is uniquely capable of leading and defending
00:41:33What he values
00:41:35And what he knows to be correct
00:41:38Even better
00:41:39He prevails by making others better
00:41:43Establishing
00:41:44And empowering them
00:41:46Boyata
00:41:48Boyata and Gabor are a formidable pair
00:41:51Combined
00:41:53They convey cerebral acumen and character
00:41:57Along with courage
00:41:58But God was just getting warmed up
00:42:02Boaz is presented as Chayil
00:42:05Strong and imposing
00:42:08Consciously capable
00:42:09And exceptionally wealthy
00:42:11He is Chayil
00:42:13Of noble character
00:42:14And a worthy individual
00:42:16With an array of attributes
00:42:19And abilities
00:42:20That would make him highly effective
00:42:22And efficient
00:42:23In this or any other situation
00:42:27Boaz is
00:42:30Elimelech
00:42:31Serving as God's counselor to the king
00:42:34As such
00:42:36He is afforded a name and reputation
00:42:38Which the timid
00:42:39Would flee
00:42:42His Shem
00:42:45Renown
00:42:46Is Boaz
00:42:48Or more accurately
00:42:49Baos
00:42:49It's a compound of Ba
00:42:52And with and by
00:42:53As I have mentioned
00:42:54And O strength, power, and might
00:42:56As well as ability
00:42:59He is
00:43:01The man from Oz
00:43:04As the best of Bethlehem
00:43:06Baos is reported
00:43:09To be uncompromising
00:43:11And unyielding
00:43:12He is unassailable
00:43:16And in
00:43:18Refutable
00:43:20Yahweh would Ose
00:43:21Fortify him
00:43:22With his Ruach
00:43:24To make him resilient
00:43:25And resolute
00:43:27No obstacle would deter him
00:43:30No adversary would overwhelm him
00:43:33No challenge
00:43:35Would ever daunt him
00:43:36And no enticement
00:43:39Would ever compromise him
00:43:44By Shem
00:43:46Name and reputation
00:43:48Boaz was and remains
00:43:50A force to be reckoned with
00:43:52Because he is unwavering
00:43:55And inalterable
00:43:56His name and introduction
00:43:59Paint a man of
00:44:01Boaz
00:44:01As unassailable
00:44:04Incontrovertible
00:44:05And irrefutable
00:44:08This Shem
00:44:09Which Yahweh memorialized
00:44:11On the temple itself
00:44:14Presents Boaz
00:44:16As undeniable
00:44:18Indisputable
00:44:20And incontestable
00:44:24He has no rival
00:44:25But he has a partner
00:44:27And she
00:44:29Is as bright
00:44:30As she is beautiful
00:44:32Ruth
00:44:34In chapter one
00:44:36We are introduced to
00:44:38Naomi's hideous attitude
00:44:39Toward Yahweh
00:44:40And we saw it as
00:44:42Prophetic of what
00:44:43Israel has been
00:44:45And sadly remains
00:44:48At this time
00:44:49We are exposed to
00:44:50The outsider
00:44:53Who would resolve
00:44:55Israel's rebellion
00:44:56Against God
00:44:59So what we're discovering
00:45:01Is that the rabbis
00:45:02Have inverted reality
00:45:04Ruth didn't convert
00:45:06To Judaism
00:45:06She destroyed it
00:45:09And her husband of course
00:45:10Would kill Jesus
00:45:11And destroy Allah
00:45:14They were a religious
00:45:16Wrecking crew
00:45:16However, she did not
00:45:19Do it independently
00:45:19They are even just
00:45:21In collaboration
00:45:22With Boaz
00:45:23They would resolve
00:45:25The curse of religion
00:45:26By delivering
00:45:27The kinsman redeemer
00:45:30From
00:45:32Own foibles once
00:45:34From himself
00:45:35And for himself
00:45:36And for his people
00:45:37And even then
00:45:39Yahweh provided
00:45:40And enabled them
00:45:41Every step of the way
00:45:42This was a collaboration
00:45:47Therefore, while
00:45:49This is a
00:45:50Sensational love story
00:45:52One that
00:45:54Defies all
00:45:56Expectation
00:45:57It is actually
00:45:59Yahweh's
00:46:00Tumultuous affair
00:46:01With his people
00:46:03With God revealing
00:46:05What he is offering
00:46:07And how he intends
00:46:08To achieve it
00:46:09Through Ruth
00:46:11And Boaz
00:46:12Even with the most
00:46:13Recalcitrant
00:46:14And embittered of people
00:46:17Love
00:46:18Finds a way
00:46:21With all of this in mind
00:46:24Let it be known
00:46:25That Ruth initiated
00:46:26This affair
00:46:28Just as she had foretold
00:46:30In her bold
00:46:32Proclamation to Naomi
00:46:35She had come to Bethlehem
00:46:37To fulfill her mission
00:46:38Alongside the man
00:46:40Whose resume
00:46:41She had just heard
00:46:44She would join him
00:46:45For the harvest
00:46:47But
00:46:48Think of the perceived
00:46:51Improbability
00:46:52Of all of this
00:46:54She was a woman
00:46:55A widow
00:46:56An outcast
00:46:58And she was in pursuit
00:47:00Of someone who was
00:47:01From a human
00:47:03Viewpoint
00:47:04Exceptional in every way
00:47:06And from God's
00:47:08Perspective
00:47:09She was intent
00:47:10On gaining
00:47:11The attention of
00:47:13And partnering with
00:47:15The single most
00:47:17Reliable
00:47:17And second most
00:47:19Influential man
00:47:21Whoever lived
00:47:22In the shadow of God
00:47:26Therefore
00:47:27Ruth
00:47:28The feminine companion
00:47:30And the pleasurable
00:47:33Mate
00:47:33Nurturing as a shepherdess
00:47:37The Moabee
00:47:38One inquiring about
00:47:40Her father
00:47:41Said to Naomi
00:47:43My favorite one
00:47:46Recognizing the urgency
00:47:48Of the situation
00:47:50I have decided to go
00:47:52Without relenting
00:47:56Wanting to walk
00:47:58To the cultivated
00:47:59Field
00:48:00Because I have chosen
00:48:02To glean
00:48:04I
00:48:05Want to gather in
00:48:07What is left
00:48:08Because I want to
00:48:11Contribute to the harvest
00:48:12No matter how meager
00:48:14The ingathering is
00:48:15Compared to the effort
00:48:16To collect it
00:48:17As a flowing stream
00:48:19And a billowing dress
00:48:21Of what remains
00:48:23In the end
00:48:25I will find
00:48:26And obtain
00:48:27Favor
00:48:29Kindness
00:48:29And acceptance
00:48:31Through the benefits
00:48:32Of the relationship
00:48:34As Ashar
00:48:36In his sight
00:48:40In his eyes
00:48:42Perceptions
00:48:43Observations
00:48:44And presence
00:48:46Who's his?
00:48:49Boaz
00:48:49A man whose resume
00:48:51She had just heard
00:48:53So she said
00:48:55To her
00:48:56You go girl
00:48:57Or
00:48:59Rendered in a more
00:49:00Stately form
00:49:02You should choose
00:49:02To start walking
00:49:03My daughter
00:49:06And Ruth
00:49:08Feminine companion
00:49:092.2
00:49:11In Ruth's mind
00:49:12Her mission was
00:49:13Not only urgent
00:49:14But it would be
00:49:15Unrelenting
00:49:16The journey
00:49:17Of many lifetimes
00:49:20She was about
00:49:21The barley harvest
00:49:23She
00:49:23Would be about
00:49:24Opening that door
00:49:26That is celebrated
00:49:27During the barley harvest
00:49:29Of Pesach
00:49:32She would join
00:49:33Boaz in the harvest
00:49:35Gleaning souls
00:49:36In the cultivated fields
00:49:37And in the end
00:49:38She would be there
00:49:41To collect
00:49:41Whatever remained
00:49:44Especially of the remnant
00:49:48As a prophecy
00:49:49All of this
00:49:51Has been
00:49:53Or will be
00:49:53Fulfilled
00:49:55Ruth with
00:49:56Boaz
00:49:57As the
00:49:58Kinsmen
00:49:58Redeemer's
00:49:59Great-grandparents
00:50:01Delivered the man
00:50:02Who would
00:50:03Save the world
00:50:04Then
00:50:05When he lost
00:50:08Perspective
00:50:09Of who he was
00:50:10And lost his way
00:50:12Among
00:50:14Willed
00:50:14Women and children
00:50:15She redeemed
00:50:17His reputation
00:50:19Doing so with
00:50:20Yahweh
00:50:20Instilling the values
00:50:21Her son
00:50:23Would require
00:50:24To ultimately
00:50:25Live up to
00:50:27His acclaim
00:50:27And fulfill his purpose
00:50:31She
00:50:32Ruth would return
00:50:33As the Amma
00:50:34Becoming
00:50:35Dode's mother
00:50:36In Bethlehem
00:50:37In preparation
00:50:38For him
00:50:39Fulfilling
00:50:39Pisach
00:50:41And Matzah
00:50:41En route
00:50:42To Bukorum
00:50:44Doing so
00:50:45One millennium
00:50:47Later
00:50:49This is why
00:50:50Dode wrote
00:50:51Of her
00:50:51Between his
00:50:52Crucifixion
00:50:53And his
00:50:55Sojourn
00:50:56Into hell
00:50:56In the
00:50:5822nd
00:50:58Mismore
00:51:01And now
00:51:02Ruth
00:51:02Has returned
00:51:03To restore
00:51:04Her son's
00:51:05Reputation
00:51:06She has witnessed
00:51:07It having been stolen
00:51:09From him
00:51:10By Judaism
00:51:11Christianity
00:51:11And Islam
00:51:13But be assured
00:51:15She has not
00:51:16And she
00:51:17Will not fail
00:51:19Particularly
00:51:20In her
00:51:21Collaboration
00:51:23With Boaz
00:51:24And Yahweh
00:51:27Pursuant
00:51:28To Lakat
00:51:30Shibolim
00:51:31Is revealing
00:51:32The souls
00:51:34Gleaned
00:51:34On Teruah
00:51:35Will be
00:51:36A
00:51:36Shibolim
00:51:38A flowing stream
00:51:39Of light
00:51:40Between earth
00:51:41And heaven
00:51:42But also
00:51:43As we discovered
00:51:44In the
00:51:4531st
00:51:45Mishal
00:51:46Or word picture
00:51:47The Amma
00:51:48Is god's
00:51:49Seamstress
00:51:49And she's
00:51:51The fashion
00:51:51Coordinator
00:51:52Adorning
00:51:52The covenant
00:51:53Family
00:51:53As well
00:51:54As the
00:51:54Mortal
00:51:55Remnant
00:51:56So
00:51:56Ruth
00:51:57Entered
00:51:58The field
00:51:58Dressed
00:51:59In a
00:52:01Shibolim
00:52:02Billowing
00:52:03Dress
00:52:04Even the man's
00:52:06Realm
00:52:07Even in
00:52:08This realm
00:52:09Of male
00:52:10Domination
00:52:11She remained
00:52:13All woman
00:52:13She knows that men and women
00:52:18At the finest
00:52:19That they can
00:52:20Potentially be
00:52:21When we know
00:52:22Who we are
00:52:23And we play
00:52:24Our roles
00:52:25And she
00:52:26Played hers
00:52:27With great
00:52:28Plum
00:52:30In this moment
00:52:30The next step
00:52:32In Ruth's development
00:52:33Was to
00:52:34Matzah
00:52:35Attain
00:52:36Boaz's
00:52:37Chen
00:52:38Acceptance
00:52:40And she
00:52:41Went out to earn it
00:52:42And she
00:52:43Did
00:52:43She
00:52:45Would become
00:52:45Ashar
00:52:46And his
00:52:48Sight
00:52:49But what
00:52:50Were the odds
00:52:51Boaz
00:52:52Had everything
00:52:53A man could
00:52:53Want
00:52:54He was essentially
00:52:55The mayor of Bethlehem
00:52:57Which made him equivalent
00:52:58To the governor of
00:52:59Yehudah
00:53:00He was
00:53:01The largest
00:53:03Landowner
00:53:04The most productive producer
00:53:06He employed the most people
00:53:08And he had earned
00:53:09Everyone's
00:53:10Respect
00:53:11For his standing
00:53:12With Yahweh
00:53:12For his intellect
00:53:14And his judgment
00:53:16He
00:53:17Was
00:53:19Everything
00:53:20And she
00:53:21Was a nobody
00:53:22From nowhere
00:53:24Or
00:53:25Or
00:53:26Was she
00:53:27Someone
00:53:28Every bit as important
00:53:29As Boaz
00:53:30Such that she was
00:53:32Essential
00:53:33To God's
00:53:34Plans
00:53:35Succeeding
00:53:36For
00:53:37His people
00:53:39Now
00:53:40Success
00:53:40Is achieved
00:53:41Of course
00:53:41In increments
00:53:42We have to walk away
00:53:44From counterproductive
00:53:45Societal influences
00:53:46Like religion
00:53:47Politics
00:53:48And the family of man
00:53:50But Ruth did
00:53:51We have to correctly
00:53:52Assess
00:53:53Reality
00:53:54And form a plan
00:53:55By filtering information
00:53:57And then rationally
00:53:59Processing it
00:54:01Ruth did
00:54:04We must
00:54:04Openly declare
00:54:05Our allegiance
00:54:06And our purpose
00:54:07Ruth did
00:54:08Even better
00:54:09Than anyone
00:54:11Man or woman
00:54:12In human history
00:54:13Regarding this
00:54:14Then we must
00:54:16Pursue that ambition
00:54:17By engaging
00:54:18Ruth did
00:54:19But even that
00:54:21Isn't enough
00:54:22Because we must
00:54:24Demonstrate the fortitude
00:54:26To complete
00:54:27What we began
00:54:28Kalah
00:54:29And that
00:54:30More than anything
00:54:32Is the key
00:54:33To Ruth's
00:54:35And Boaz's
00:54:37Success
00:54:39So she set out
00:54:40Walking
00:54:41And she went
00:54:42Arriving
00:54:43To glean
00:54:46Gathering in
00:54:47Whatever was left
00:54:48No matter how
00:54:49Meager the end
00:54:50Gathering
00:54:50Would be compared
00:54:52To the effort
00:54:53Needed
00:54:54To collect it
00:54:55Without
00:54:56Relenting
00:54:58She was engaged
00:54:59In the Lakot
00:55:02Teruah
00:55:03Is a Lakot
00:55:05Because
00:55:06It means that
00:55:07I will continually
00:55:09Harvest
00:55:09Harvest
00:55:10In the
00:55:11Peel
00:55:11Imperfect
00:55:12First-person
00:55:13Feminine
00:55:13Singular
00:55:13Within the fields
00:55:15Following after
00:55:16What remained
00:55:18A car
00:55:20From the
00:55:21Cat seer
00:55:22Those who were
00:55:24Actually conducting
00:55:25The primary harvest
00:55:28Now it just so
00:55:29Happened
00:55:30By pondering
00:55:31This approach
00:55:32Destined her
00:55:33To consider
00:55:34A track of
00:55:36Land
00:55:38Akin
00:55:39To the
00:55:39Smoothness
00:55:40Of a
00:55:41Woman's
00:55:42Neck
00:55:42Of the open
00:55:44Field
00:55:44And acreage
00:55:45Of a fellow
00:55:47Named
00:55:47Boaz
00:55:48With confidence
00:55:50Courage
00:55:51Conviction
00:55:56I'm sure it was
00:55:57By chance
00:55:59Don't you
00:56:00Who to reveal
00:56:01The way
00:56:02To receive the
00:56:03Benefits of the
00:56:04Relationship
00:56:04Was
00:56:07From the
00:56:08Family
00:56:09Of Elimelech
00:56:11My God's
00:56:12Counselor
00:56:13To the
00:56:14King
00:56:15Ruth
00:56:162-3
00:56:19Now
00:56:19When it comes
00:56:21To developing
00:56:21A covenant
00:56:22Relationship
00:56:23With Yahweh
00:56:23It is not enough
00:56:24To walk away
00:56:25From one's
00:56:26Country
00:56:26And
00:56:27From Babel
00:56:29The
00:56:29Integration
00:56:30Of religion
00:56:31And politics
00:56:32Ruth had already
00:56:33Completed that part
00:56:34Of the journey
00:56:35Leaving Moab
00:56:36Now she had chartered
00:56:38Her course
00:56:39To God
00:56:40And she found her
00:56:42Place
00:56:42In Yahweh's
00:56:44Unfolding story
00:56:45In the fields
00:56:46Cultivated
00:56:47By the man
00:56:48Of uncommon
00:56:49Conviction
00:56:50Confidence
00:56:51And courage
00:56:53Pursuant
00:56:53To the Almighty
00:56:54She didn't say
00:56:56Oh
00:56:56Now that I'm here
00:56:57I wonder what I should do
00:56:59Maybe somebody could tell me
00:57:00What it is
00:57:01I was a
00:57:02Shepherdess
00:57:03Once
00:57:03It's really all I need to do
00:57:05But this is not a
00:57:06Shepherding town
00:57:07This is a barley and wheat growing town
00:57:10I don't know how to do that
00:57:11So I think I'll just sit here
00:57:12And eat bonbons
00:57:15No
00:57:16Not what she did is it?
00:57:17She went to work
00:57:18She went to work
00:57:20She
00:57:21Immediately came up with a plan
00:57:23And pursued the plan
00:57:24And it
00:57:25It did not matter if she was
00:57:27An expert
00:57:28And
00:57:29And well established
00:57:31Gleaner
00:57:31Or if this was the first field
00:57:33She had ever gleaned
00:57:36So long as she was there with a smile
00:57:38She was there in her beautiful
00:57:40Billowing dress
00:57:41She was there with the right attitude
00:57:44She knew why she was there
00:57:47It would all work out
00:57:48Why?
00:57:50Because she was there
00:57:53I wrote
00:57:54Earlier today
00:57:56That
00:57:57When the goyim are brought in
00:58:00To
00:58:01Serve the
00:58:02Covenant
00:58:03Family
00:58:04And the remnant
00:58:05During the
00:58:06Celebration of our return to the garden
00:58:09During Sukkah
00:58:11They will work
00:58:13But work isn't a pejorative
00:58:15Everyone
00:58:16Around
00:58:17Yahweh works
00:58:19As a matter of fact
00:58:20If you're not working
00:58:21With
00:58:22Yahweh
00:58:22You probably
00:58:24Are fooling yourself
00:58:25About being around him
00:58:29Ruth
00:58:30Went to work
00:58:32She found her place
00:58:34In God's unfolding story
00:58:39Now there's
00:58:40Would be a
00:58:42Well an arranged marriage
00:58:45Not once
00:58:46But eight times
00:58:47And while she
00:58:49May have arrived
00:58:51Empty handed
00:58:52She quickly earned her place
00:58:55Not by insisting on it
00:58:58As
00:58:59Is the way
00:59:00Today
00:59:01With an entitled
00:59:02Mentality
00:59:03But by reaping
00:59:06She
00:59:08Collected what the harvesters
00:59:09Had left behind
00:59:10Picking up the grain
00:59:12That they had walked past
00:59:14Past
00:59:15She valued
00:59:16What
00:59:18Others
00:59:18Had missed
00:59:21Therefore
00:59:23Ruth was not only
00:59:24Positioning herself
00:59:25As the
00:59:27Consummate
00:59:28Gleaner
00:59:29Integrating herself
00:59:30Into
00:59:31Her future
00:59:32Husband's
00:59:33Lakat
00:59:34On Teruah
00:59:35She was doubling down
00:59:37By a car
00:59:38Following after
00:59:40Those
00:59:40Who would remain
00:59:41In the end
00:59:43This is a poignant
00:59:45And prophetic
00:59:46Portrait
00:59:47Of her role
00:59:48Salvaging the final
00:59:50Remnant of her
00:59:50People
00:59:52And all of this
00:59:53Is set into the context
00:59:54Of two
00:59:56Katsir harvests
00:59:57Throughout
00:59:58We are
00:59:59Reminded
01:00:00Of the
01:00:01Katsir
01:00:02Of
01:00:03Bukutum
01:00:04And of
01:00:05Shibua
01:00:07The first
01:00:08Is of
01:00:09Locals
01:00:10Barley
01:00:11Strains
01:00:12Around
01:00:12Passover
01:00:13And the second
01:00:14Is of
01:00:15Varieties
01:00:15Of wheat
01:00:16And of
01:00:17Standing grain
01:00:18During the promise
01:00:19Of seven
01:00:19Kara was a
01:00:22Bit of a surprise
01:00:23And perhaps
01:00:25Interjected
01:00:26Numerously
01:00:27To infer that
01:00:29Oh, Ruth
01:00:29Just stumbled
01:00:31Into one of
01:00:32Boaz's
01:00:33Fields by
01:00:33Happenstance
01:00:35But we know better
01:00:36Since she stated
01:00:39In her
01:00:39Initial intent
01:00:41Previously
01:00:42That she was going
01:00:43After this
01:00:44Man
01:00:45So
01:00:45It is either
01:00:46The narrator's
01:00:47Tongue in
01:00:49Cheek
01:00:50Way of
01:00:51Conveying
01:00:52A smirking
01:00:52And giggle
01:00:53Under his breath
01:00:54Death
01:00:54Or
01:00:55She was
01:00:56Just a lost
01:00:57Sheep
01:00:58Entering a realm
01:01:00Where everything
01:01:01The eye
01:01:02Could behold
01:01:03Belonged to
01:01:04Boaz
01:01:05And to his
01:01:06God
01:01:07From this
01:01:08Perspective
01:01:09It is relevant
01:01:09It is relevant
01:01:10To know that
01:01:10Kara
01:01:12Is derived
01:01:13From
01:01:13Kara
01:01:14To invite
01:01:15And to welcome
01:01:16To call out
01:01:16And to meet
01:01:17To read
01:01:18And to greet
01:01:19Adroitly
01:01:20Mikrah
01:01:21Mikrah
01:01:23The
01:01:23Mah
01:01:24Interrogatory
01:01:25Serving as
01:01:26An introduction
01:01:27To the word
01:01:28Encourages us
01:01:29To ponder
01:01:29The implications
01:01:30Of this
01:01:31Meeting
01:01:32Around the
01:01:33Mikrah
01:01:33Of Pesach
01:01:35Therefore with
01:01:36Kara
01:01:37And Mikrah
01:01:38Deployed in the
01:01:39Same sentence
01:01:40We can be assured
01:01:41That the intent
01:01:42Was to highlight
01:01:44The fact
01:01:44That the barley
01:01:46Harvest
01:01:47And the
01:01:47Mikrah
01:01:48Associated with
01:01:49Matzah
01:01:49Were coterminous
01:01:51And you might just see
01:01:53That Miss Ruth
01:01:55Just brought me
01:01:57A cold beverage
01:01:59With a
01:02:01Plumeria flower
01:02:06That is
01:02:07That is really yummy
01:02:10The drink too
01:02:13The inspired author
01:02:15Of the narrative
01:02:16On Ruth
01:02:17Who
01:02:18We have every reason
01:02:20To suspect
01:02:20Was Boaz
01:02:22Since
01:02:22He and Ruth
01:02:23Were the only
01:02:24Two people
01:02:24Who knew what
01:02:25Actually happened
01:02:26And Boaz
01:02:27Is a sort of
01:02:28A kiss and tell
01:02:29Sort of a guy
01:02:29That can't keep a secret
01:02:32To save his soul
01:02:34That it is Boaz
01:02:36Who is teasing us
01:02:37Again with
01:02:38Chilka
01:02:39It's a tract
01:02:40Of land
01:02:42That is akin
01:02:43To the smoothness
01:02:45Of a woman's neck
01:02:46He was smitten
01:02:48By Ruth
01:02:49And he saw her
01:02:50As bold
01:02:51Brilliant
01:02:53And of course
01:02:54Being a guy
01:02:55Beautiful
01:02:58We will not continue
01:02:59To belabor the point
01:03:00That Boaz
01:03:01Was in
01:03:02This position
01:03:03Because of his
01:03:04Confidence
01:03:05His courage
01:03:06And conviction
01:03:07But it remains essential
01:03:08To the story
01:03:09From Yahweh's perspective
01:03:10He is the most
01:03:12Unassailable
01:03:13And irrefutable
01:03:14Of men
01:03:15He is incontrovertible
01:03:17Undeniable
01:03:18And indisputable
01:03:20And those are things
01:03:22God values
01:03:23He trades
01:03:25On confidence
01:03:28And on clarity
01:03:30Of thought
01:03:32Working together
01:03:33According to
01:03:35The text
01:03:37They would
01:03:37Asher
01:03:38Reveal the way
01:03:40To receive
01:03:41The benefits
01:03:41Of the relationship
01:03:42Men
01:03:43Mishpaka
01:03:44On behalf of the people
01:03:45By Mishpat
01:03:47Resolving disputes
01:03:48Through
01:03:49Being
01:03:50Very
01:03:51Judgmental
01:03:52And they would serve
01:03:53As Elimelech
01:03:55My God's
01:03:57Counselors
01:03:57To the king
01:03:59That
01:04:00They
01:04:00Would
01:04:01Counsel
01:04:02Dode
01:04:03Throughout
01:04:04Most of his
01:04:05Lives
01:04:08We are reminded
01:04:10That Boaz
01:04:10Boaz lived
01:04:11In Bethlehem
01:04:13And that
01:04:13These were
01:04:14Not only
01:04:15His fields
01:04:15But he was
01:04:17Actively engaged
01:04:18In them
01:04:19He didn't
01:04:20Just
01:04:21Employ
01:04:22People
01:04:23To work
01:04:24He worked
01:04:25With them
01:04:26He led them
01:04:27By example
01:04:29Further
01:04:30Boaz knew
01:04:31And used
01:04:31Yahweh's name
01:04:32Making God's
01:04:34Shem
01:04:34An integral part
01:04:36Of his
01:04:37Interaction
01:04:38With his people
01:04:40So
01:04:40Boaz
01:04:41Uncompromising
01:04:42Unassailable
01:04:43And
01:04:44Irrefutable
01:04:46Came
01:04:47From
01:04:48Bethlehem
01:04:49Home
01:04:50Of
01:04:50Bread
01:04:50And house
01:04:51Of conflict
01:04:52He said to those
01:04:53Conducting the harvest
01:04:55Yahweh
01:04:56Be with you
01:04:57And they answered
01:04:58Him
01:04:59May Yahweh
01:05:00Choose to bless
01:05:01You
01:05:02Commending
01:05:03You
01:05:03And lift
01:05:04You up
01:05:05Ruth
01:05:07Feminine
01:05:09Companion
01:05:09Two
01:05:11Four
01:05:13Yahweh
01:05:14Is the
01:05:16O's
01:05:17Behind
01:05:18Baos
01:05:20They
01:05:21Shared
01:05:22Yahweh's
01:05:22Name
01:05:23And not
01:05:24Their own
01:05:25They
01:05:27Were the
01:05:27Antithesis
01:05:28Of the
01:05:29Rabbis
01:05:31Boaz
01:05:32Boaz
01:05:32And Bethlehem
01:05:34Is the
01:05:35Opposite
01:05:36Of the
01:05:36Rabbis
01:05:36In Babylon
01:05:40To move
01:05:41Forward
01:05:42We must
01:05:42Return
01:05:43To the past
01:05:44We have seen
01:05:45Naar
01:05:46Used when
01:05:47Noach
01:05:48And Shem
01:05:49Joined
01:05:50Yahweh
01:05:51When visiting
01:05:52Abraham
01:05:53Before Yishak's
01:05:55Birth
01:05:55Earth
01:05:55And then
01:05:55Ten years
01:05:56Later
01:05:56When they
01:05:58Accompanied
01:05:58Abraham
01:05:59And Ishaq
01:05:59To Mount
01:06:00Moriah
01:06:00To affirm
01:06:02The covenant
01:06:02On Passover
01:06:04Naar
01:06:05Isn't just
01:06:06Repeated
01:06:07Here
01:06:07It is woven
01:06:08Throughout this story
01:06:09In the singular
01:06:10And plural forms
01:06:11Both masculine
01:06:12And feminine
01:06:15And
01:06:16Naar
01:06:17Is actually
01:06:18A title
01:06:19That is ascribed
01:06:21To the Choder
01:06:21By
01:06:22Yeshayah
01:06:25That is
01:06:26A way of foreshadowing
01:06:28What is to come
01:06:29Now in their case
01:06:31It was
01:06:32Absolutely
01:06:33Love
01:06:34At first sight
01:06:36One look
01:06:37Is all it took
01:06:39Well at least
01:06:40To pique
01:06:41This man's interest
01:06:42He would conduct
01:06:44A comprehensive
01:06:46Examination
01:06:47Of what she was packing
01:06:49Inside
01:06:50Before
01:06:52He approached
01:06:53What he saw
01:06:55On the outside
01:06:57Then
01:06:58Boaz
01:06:58Forceful
01:06:59And fortified
01:07:01Said to
01:07:02One of his associates
01:07:03Rustling about
01:07:04And shaking
01:07:05Things up
01:07:05Naar
01:07:06He said
01:07:08Who
01:07:09Was
01:07:10The
01:07:10Prominently
01:07:12And
01:07:12Firmly
01:07:13Position
01:07:13Who this man
01:07:14Was
01:07:15Prominently
01:07:16And firmly
01:07:17Positioned
01:07:17That means he was
01:07:18Hardly a young man
01:07:19As many people
01:07:20Want to render
01:07:21Naar
01:07:22No he was the one
01:07:24Who was prominently
01:07:24And firmly
01:07:25Positioned
01:07:26Over everyone else
01:07:28Who was at the time
01:07:30Gathering
01:07:30In the harvest
01:07:32And so
01:07:33He said
01:07:35To him
01:07:37For whom
01:07:39For whom
01:07:41For whom
01:07:41Lahmai
01:07:43Is this particular
01:07:45Young woman
01:07:47This female attendant
01:07:49This you
01:07:50That is rustling
01:07:52About
01:07:52And shaking
01:07:53Things up
01:07:54Who is so
01:07:55Youthful
01:07:56For her
01:07:57Maturity
01:07:58Who is
01:07:59Ha
01:08:00Naara
01:08:01Ha
01:08:01Zoth
01:08:03Ruth
01:08:042
01:08:055
01:08:06Clever
01:08:07Writing
01:08:07Not only
01:08:09Are we brought
01:08:10Back to
01:08:10Noach's
01:08:11And Shem's
01:08:12Dual adventures
01:08:12With Abraham
01:08:13Through
01:08:15These dual
01:08:16Uses
01:08:17Of Naar
01:08:18The female
01:08:19In the field
01:08:20Is now
01:08:22Their counterpart
01:08:22And
01:08:23The
01:08:24Naara
01:08:26Represents
01:08:27Ruth
01:08:27Just as
01:08:29The Naar
01:08:30Is the most
01:08:31Prominent man
01:08:32In Boaz's
01:08:33Company
01:08:35In the initial
01:08:36Use we find
01:08:37Affirmation that
01:08:38A Naar
01:08:39Is a
01:08:40Leader
01:08:41Of any
01:08:42Age
01:08:42Who acts
01:08:45In a position
01:08:46Of authority
01:08:47And in the
01:08:48Second instance
01:08:49The Naara
01:08:50Is the
01:08:51Babe
01:08:51Who is
01:08:52Now caught
01:08:54Boaz's
01:08:54Undivided
01:08:55Attention
01:08:57He
01:08:57Is looking at
01:08:59The you
01:09:00Who would roar
01:09:01He was
01:09:02Smitten
01:09:03She
01:09:03Was as
01:09:04I had
01:09:06Surmised
01:09:07Beautiful
01:09:08Now it
01:09:09Isn't
01:09:09By accident
01:09:10That
01:09:11Boaz asked
01:09:12For whom
01:09:13Is this
01:09:15Woman
01:09:15Who was
01:09:16So
01:09:16Mature
01:09:17For her age
01:09:20If she
01:09:20Belonged
01:09:21To another
01:09:21It would have
01:09:23Been inappropriate
01:09:23For him
01:09:24To swoon
01:09:25Over her
01:09:26Moreover
01:09:27Between her beauty
01:09:28And the way
01:09:29She carried
01:09:30And dressed
01:09:31Herself
01:09:31She was clearly
01:09:33A standout
01:09:33Someone who
01:09:35Does not go
01:09:36Through life
01:09:38Unnoticed
01:09:39She
01:09:40Was a force
01:09:41Of nature
01:09:42Bold
01:09:43Brilliant
01:09:44And beautiful
01:09:47Boaz's
01:09:48Naar
01:09:48Earned his
01:09:50Status
01:09:50Of course
01:09:51By being
01:09:52Perceptive
01:09:53Educated
01:09:54And assertive
01:09:55He also knew
01:09:56His boss
01:09:57He saw
01:09:58That a foreigner
01:09:59Had stepped into
01:10:00A corner of the field
01:10:01That he was managing
01:10:02That she was
01:10:04Gleaning
01:10:04In that corner
01:10:05This was absolutely
01:10:07Acceptable in a land
01:10:08Governed by the Torah
01:10:09Especially if dealing
01:10:11With an orphan
01:10:12Or a widow
01:10:12So
01:10:13He just
01:10:14Went over
01:10:15And asked her
01:10:16Who she was
01:10:17And then let her
01:10:18Do
01:10:19As she had requested
01:10:21The Torah's principle
01:10:23Was essential
01:10:24To the well-being
01:10:25Of the community
01:10:26No one should ever
01:10:27Go hungry
01:10:27Be without food
01:10:28Clothing or shelter
01:10:29Therefore the Torah
01:10:31Asks us
01:10:32To make
01:10:33The corner
01:10:34Of our fields
01:10:35For a portion
01:10:36Of what we produce
01:10:37Available to those
01:10:38In need
01:10:39They are to be given
01:10:40Anything
01:10:42Not to be given
01:10:43Anything I should say
01:10:44But instead
01:10:46Provided access
01:10:47To what they may need
01:10:49You can see my
01:10:50Lovely drink
01:10:52And my
01:10:52Beautiful
01:10:53Asher dog
01:10:54At my feet
01:10:55It is a
01:10:57Most wonderful
01:10:58Setting
01:10:59That we are enjoying
01:11:02Here
01:11:02As the sun begins
01:11:04To set
01:11:04In these islands
01:11:06So
01:11:07Not only was
01:11:08Ruth allowed
01:11:09To glean
01:11:10In Boaz's field
01:11:11The Na'ar
01:11:12Noting that she was
01:11:14Exceptional
01:11:15In every way
01:11:16Made a point
01:11:17Of preparing
01:11:18Himself
01:11:19To answer the question
01:11:21That he knew
01:11:22Was sure to come
01:11:25Being prepared in advance
01:11:27Is always a good plan
01:11:29You can become
01:11:30The foreman
01:11:31You can become
01:11:31The foreman
01:11:33That earns
01:11:34That job
01:11:35By knowing what the boss
01:11:37Is going to ask
01:11:38And be ready with the answer
01:11:40Before he asks it
01:11:42That was the case
01:11:43That was the case here
01:11:44The Na'ar
01:11:45The ram from the flock
01:11:47Who was a bit older
01:11:49With the stamina
01:11:50Of a younger man
01:11:51Who talked loudly
01:11:52And roared
01:11:52While rustling about
01:11:53Growling
01:11:54Occasionally
01:11:55And even snarling
01:11:56Who was prominently
01:11:58And firmly
01:11:59Positioned
01:12:01Above those
01:12:01Gathering in the harvest
01:12:04Boy
01:12:05To have that long
01:12:06Definition again
01:12:06We certainly
01:12:07Get a better picture
01:12:08Of Na'ar
01:12:10Don't we
01:12:11He replied
01:12:13And he said
01:12:15She is the Moabee
01:12:17She's the one
01:12:18Inquiring about
01:12:19Her father
01:12:20A young woman
01:12:21A female attendant
01:12:21And a ewe
01:12:22Rustling about
01:12:24And shaking things up
01:12:25Who was useful
01:12:26For her maturity
01:12:27Who returned
01:12:28With Naomi
01:12:31My favorite one
01:12:32From the terrain
01:12:34Of Moab
01:12:37Ruth
01:12:382.6
01:12:39He revealed enough
01:12:41To whet
01:12:42Boaz's appetite
01:12:44Since there had been
01:12:45Quite a stir
01:12:46Pursuant to
01:12:47Naomi's return
01:12:48With a Moabite
01:12:49He would have known
01:12:51That they had arrived
01:12:52Only after
01:12:54Their husbands
01:12:56Had passed away
01:12:57And that meant
01:12:59Miss Ruth
01:12:59Was approachable
01:13:01And potentially
01:13:03Available
01:13:04They were both
01:13:06Scheming
01:13:07Further
01:13:08Since
01:13:09He was
01:13:10Tor observant
01:13:11Ba'oz
01:13:13Would have known
01:13:14The story of
01:13:15Moab
01:13:16Who
01:13:17Is your daddy
01:13:18Aware
01:13:19That they
01:13:20Were related
01:13:21Indeed
01:13:22They were
01:13:23Ken through
01:13:24Abraham and
01:13:25Lot
01:13:26They were not
01:13:27Zebras and
01:13:28Wildebeest
01:13:28Zebras
01:13:29But zebras
01:13:30Of a different
01:13:30Stripe
01:13:32Also
01:13:33With Ruth
01:13:34Being described
01:13:35As a
01:13:36Na'ara
01:13:37It's fair to
01:13:39Associate the term
01:13:40With either
01:13:41An older person
01:13:42Who is young
01:13:43For their age
01:13:43Or a more youthful
01:13:44Individual
01:13:45Who is particularly
01:13:46Mature
01:13:47To her
01:13:47It can also
01:13:48Address someone
01:13:49Who stands above
01:13:50The crowd
01:13:50Who roars
01:13:52When others
01:13:53Simply
01:13:53Meows
01:13:55With Na'ah
01:13:57Please
01:13:58Ruth was polite
01:13:59And
01:14:00With her statement
01:14:01We realized
01:14:02That she knew
01:14:03The rules
01:14:04She had the right
01:14:05To be there
01:14:07According to the Torah
01:14:08She was not
01:14:09Trespassing
01:14:10Nor was she
01:14:11Stealing
01:14:11The other insight
01:14:14Worth acknowledging
01:14:15Is that Ruth
01:14:16Was committed
01:14:17To a
01:14:17Lakat
01:14:18To gleaning
01:14:20Primarily
01:14:21And
01:14:22Asaf
01:14:23In gathering
01:14:24Secondarily
01:14:24And she knew
01:14:26That she was
01:14:27Following behind
01:14:28The
01:14:29Katsir
01:14:29The primary
01:14:31Harvest
01:14:32This place
01:14:33Is Ruth
01:14:33With Boaz
01:14:34Focused on the
01:14:35Great Day of Yahweh
01:14:37One fulfilled
01:14:38On Teruah
01:14:39She is preparing
01:14:40Herself
01:14:41To serve
01:14:42On behalf
01:14:43Of those
01:14:43Aqar left behind
01:14:44In the end
01:14:46She
01:14:46Realizes
01:14:49That she
01:14:50Is part
01:14:51Of a very large
01:14:53And important
01:14:54Prophetic
01:14:55Revelation
01:14:56And she is playing
01:14:58Out her role
01:15:00She said
01:15:01I would like
01:15:03To glean
01:15:03Please
01:15:05Gathering in
01:15:05Whatever is left
01:15:06No matter how meager
01:15:08It may be compared
01:15:09To the effort
01:15:09Needed
01:15:11To collect
01:15:12It
01:15:13Lakatna
01:15:14I implore you
01:15:15To allow me
01:15:16To collect
01:15:17A final
01:15:18Harvest
01:15:18And provide for
01:15:20An in-gathering
01:15:21With
01:15:21Bundled
01:15:23Sheaves
01:15:23Ha-Omer
01:15:24After
01:15:26Those
01:15:27Conducting the
01:15:28Initial harvest
01:15:29For
01:15:30That which is left
01:15:31Behind in the end
01:15:33She arrived
01:15:35And
01:15:35She has continued
01:15:36To be present
01:15:37Standing
01:15:38He said
01:15:39To Boaz
01:15:40From a time
01:15:41Proximate
01:15:42To early
01:15:44Morning
01:15:44Ha-Makar
01:15:46Daybreak
01:15:47In consideration
01:15:49Of the observant bowl
01:15:50And up
01:15:51Until the
01:15:52Restoring witness
01:15:53Ha-Ad
01:15:54Now at this time
01:15:57With a brief moment
01:15:59Of
01:16:00Inactivity
01:16:01In the house
01:16:04Ruth
01:16:05Feminine
01:16:06Companion
01:16:072-7
01:16:09The
01:16:10The concept of an omer
01:16:12Bundled sheaves
01:16:13Is meaningful
01:16:14Because it represents
01:16:15Grain
01:16:15That is ready
01:16:17To transport
01:16:18Out of a field
01:16:19And into
01:16:20The storehouse
01:16:21And with grain
01:16:23Symbolic
01:16:24Of saved souls
01:16:25She was preparing
01:16:26Future covenant members
01:16:28For their journey
01:16:29To Shamaim
01:16:32This narration
01:16:33Highlights
01:16:34The fact
01:16:35That Ruth
01:16:35Came early
01:16:37And that she came
01:16:38To work
01:16:40She was on her feet
01:16:41And she was standing
01:16:43In the field
01:16:44And in this way
01:16:46She was
01:16:46An exemplar
01:16:48Or a witness
01:16:48For others to notice
01:16:50And follow
01:16:50She
01:16:52And I
01:16:53Do the same thing
01:16:54Every day
01:16:55Beginning
01:16:56Before the sunrise
01:16:57And working
01:16:59Well
01:16:59After sunset
01:17:01The realization
01:17:03That she
01:17:04Took
01:17:04A quick
01:17:05Reprieve
01:17:07In
01:17:08Boaz's
01:17:09Residence
01:17:09Feeling right
01:17:10At home
01:17:11I guess
01:17:12Is remarkable
01:17:12For a woman
01:17:13Naturally
01:17:15Introverted
01:17:16And among
01:17:18Strangers
01:17:19However
01:17:20She
01:17:20Had a
01:17:21Premonition
01:17:22That one day
01:17:23She would be
01:17:23Queen
01:17:24Of this castle
01:17:27We do not know
01:17:28How long it took
01:17:29Or who summoned
01:17:31But
01:17:32Boaz
01:17:33Took
01:17:33Care of business
01:17:34He
01:17:35Received
01:17:36A complete
01:17:37Dossier
01:17:38On Miss
01:17:38Ruth
01:17:39Before he
01:17:41And even
01:17:42Then
01:17:43The mayor
01:17:44Tested the waters
01:17:45Making statements
01:17:47Of sorts
01:17:48By
01:17:48Well
01:17:49Asking
01:17:50Questions
01:17:52And I'll share this with you
01:17:54When we'll return to this point
01:17:55In our program tomorrow
01:17:57Then
01:17:58Boaz said to Ruth
01:18:00Ah
01:18:01The beginning of the first date
01:18:05Whether or not
01:18:07You will listen at this moment
01:18:10My daughter
01:18:12Do not go
01:18:13Walking over
01:18:15To glean in any other field
01:18:18In addition
01:18:19You should not pass over
01:18:21Or out of this one here
01:18:23I would urge you to stay
01:18:26Close to
01:18:27And associate
01:18:28With
01:18:29My young woman
01:18:30My female attendants
01:18:32In news
01:18:32Rustling about
01:18:33Who are young for their age
01:18:37Ruth
01:18:38Two eight
01:18:40That's true
01:18:41She was under no obligation
01:18:42To listen
01:18:42Not to him
01:18:44Or to anyone else
01:18:45Though she was on his property
01:18:46And
01:18:47Well removing
01:18:48His barley
01:18:49The reference
01:18:50I think
01:18:51To
01:18:51Bath-Ani
01:18:52Isn't to suggest
01:18:53That Boaz
01:18:54Perceived Ruth
01:18:55As a daughter
01:18:55Which is a polite way
01:18:58For an older man
01:18:59To address
01:19:01A younger woman
01:19:02It says that
01:19:03While she was old enough
01:19:06Or he was old enough
01:19:08I should say
01:19:08To be her father
01:19:10He realized that
01:19:12She was old enough
01:19:14To be his wife
01:19:17Boaz's opening statement
01:19:18To Ruth
01:19:18Can be perceived
01:19:20In
01:19:20Well any one of
01:19:21Several ways
01:19:22He wanted her to feel
01:19:25Welcome on his property
01:19:27He wanted her
01:19:28Close
01:19:28Where
01:19:30He could keep an eye on her
01:19:32Or
01:19:33He was just concerned
01:19:35For her safety
01:19:36Nothing else
01:19:38Making
01:19:39Him
01:19:40Protective
01:19:41As a man
01:19:43It is also telling
01:19:44That
01:19:45That
01:19:45He approved
01:19:46Of her
01:19:47Gleaning
01:19:47And that
01:19:48She was encouraged
01:19:50To continue
01:19:51This means that
01:19:52Boaz was Torah observant
01:19:53And that he was
01:19:55Compassionate
01:19:56It says that
01:19:57He enjoyed sharing
01:19:58His life's work
01:20:00With her
01:20:01And of course
01:20:02His initial statement
01:20:04Put a stranger
01:20:05At ease
01:20:07But then again
01:20:08It may be
01:20:09Nothing more
01:20:11Than he was a man
01:20:12And he thought
01:20:13That she was pretty
01:20:16Now that said
01:20:17The rest of the story
01:20:18Strongly suggests
01:20:20That
01:20:20He saw in her
01:20:21Something that
01:20:22He had seen
01:20:23In no other woman
01:20:23So after
01:20:25A subtle reminder
01:20:26That they were approaching
01:20:28Passover
01:20:28And that
01:20:29He didn't want her
01:20:31To leave her
01:20:31He just urged her to stay
01:20:33But being a cool cat
01:20:36His recommendation
01:20:37To
01:20:38Join the other women
01:20:40In his
01:20:41Company
01:20:42Was pretty clever
01:20:43In Boaz's world
01:20:46There were
01:20:46Many
01:20:47In Naara
01:20:48Young women
01:20:49And female attendants
01:20:51Jews
01:20:51Rustling about
01:20:53Who were young
01:20:54For their age
01:20:55It's almost as if
01:20:56The mayor of Bethlehem
01:20:57Is suggesting
01:20:59That
01:20:59He
01:21:00She
01:21:00Join his harem
01:21:02Without
01:21:03Without
01:21:03Stating it
01:21:04As such
01:21:05And keeping his
01:21:07Offer
01:21:07Purely professional
01:21:09Of course
01:21:09But
01:21:10They were his
01:21:12Naara
01:21:14And not
01:21:15Other men's
01:21:16Wives
01:21:17And this one
01:21:19Wanted more
01:21:22In his initial
01:21:23Observations
01:21:24And what is said
01:21:25Subsequently
01:21:26It's apparent
01:21:28That
01:21:29Ruth
01:21:29Had
01:21:30Absolutely
01:21:31No
01:21:32Experience
01:21:33In
01:21:34Reaping
01:21:35So
01:21:36Boaz
01:21:37Was offering
01:21:38Advice
01:21:38Without
01:21:39Being condescending
01:21:41And that's where
01:21:42It gets interesting
01:21:43Since
01:21:44Mr. Confidence
01:21:46Couched
01:21:47Couched
01:21:47Couched another
01:21:47Statement
01:21:48And a question
01:21:48And quite the leading question
01:21:52It was
01:21:53But I'm not going to reveal that question
01:21:56Until this time tomorrow
01:21:57I thank you for listening
