Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
Ruth 4:10 KJV COMMENTARY MEANING https://bible.com/bible/1/rut.4.10.KJV
Leaving without a name was terrible. So terrible 😰 the lord provided an alternative for you brothers. Who carry your genes to raise up children and a generation for you so you name remains.
It was not just expected, it was commanded of the lord and God actually killed someone for the sin of refusing to raise seed for his brother. https://bible.com/bible/1/rut.4.10.KJV
and let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
Ruth 4:12 KJV COMMENTARY MEANING https://bible.com/bible/1/rut.4.12.KJV
What was there about the house of pharez that attracted this blessing and they being used as a worthy example.
So pharez was the son of Judah and Boaz was from the tribe if Judah.
So they were using their father judah’s son as reference for this blessing.
That just as pharez was born to judah may this seed be as one born to judah.
Blessed pharez.
Maybe there is more to the house of pharez which needs to be studied.
If my memory serves me right…pharez was twin who breached and came out before his brother.
And it seems from the blessing that pharez became great and famous among his father’s house 🏡. Thus that same blessings was invoked oh Ruth’s children. https://bible.com/bible/1/rut.4.12.KJV
and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Ruth 4:21-22 KJV COMMENTARY MEANING https://bible.com/bible/1/rut.4.21-22.KJV
Jesses grandfather was boaz a might man of wealth.
How come then that Jesse was not described in same manner as his grandfather.
Indeed we are let in on the wealth of Jesse when David’s elder brother chastises David for leaving the few sheep 🐑 to come see the battle.
1 Samuel 17:28 KJV
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
How come Jesse couldn’t preserve wealth as Jacob deed.
This is what I mean, Abraham was very rich, he handed his riches to Isaac who multiplied it
This wealth was handed over to Jacob who also increased it and out of him came national Israel.
But not so with boaz’s generation.
This serves as a good lesson for us to set up systems for wealth creation and to covenant with the lord for he is eternal and he is able to preserve that which we have committed to him when we are dead and gone.
Peace, strength, good health purpose, new identity, forgiven, takeover out needs, takes away fear 😱, gives hope for the future https://bible.com/bible/1/rut.4.21-22.KJV
