Who Is Boaz?

BOAZ: (Bow-As) Strength or Fleetness

Boaz was a very wealthy man who lived in Bethlehem. In Judea when Naomi returned to Bethlehem with her widowed daughter-in-law, Ruth, she sent Ruth into the fields of Boaz to glean. Boaz learned that Ruth's deceased husband was a distant relative of his. He acted kindly towards Ruth and instructed his farm workers to leave extra sheaves of barley for her to gather. Ruth had another relative of her late husband who was closer than Boaz. By law, the other relative was obligated to marry Ruth, as stated in Deuteronomy 25:5-10. Boaz confronted the other relative with this law, and after the relative refused to marry Ruth, Boaz agreed to marry Ruth, and to buy the estate of Ruth's deceased husband. After they got married Ruth had a son named Obed, who became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David. Boaz and Ruth became the great-grandparents of King David. Boaz Means “strength.” The rest of the story of Boaz is found in the book of Ruth.

 

This wealthy and honorable Bethlemite, or Judahite is a direct ancestor of King David and of Christ and is a very pivotal person in the bible (Ruth 2,3,4 & St. Matthew 1:5). The name of the left pillar of Solomon's temple was named Boaz, for “in it is strength” (I Kings 7:21). Boaz was true to his name and comes before us strong in grace, integrity, and purpose. As the Lord of the Harvest, Master of Servants, Redeemer, Bridegroom, and Life-Giver, he is a fitting type of Christ.
