  • RUTH Chapters 3, 4 This Is Already Our Last Study of Ruth. While This
    RUTH Chapters 3, 4 This is already our last study of Ruth. While this book is very short, it gives us much insight into many important questions about life, such as where God is, in difficult times, and why sometimes He waits so long before He acts. Also, it is through two faithful women, that we learn so much about God’s workings in the believers’ lives. Naomi and Ruth, both teach us how to be patient and hopeful, in hard times. Throughout the tragedies of losing their husbands and being reduced to poverty, they did not believe that God had forsaken them. They often spoke of Him so reverently. Right in the midst of their ordeal, when Naomi told Ruth that it would be better for her to stay in Moab because she had nothing to offer her, she pronounced these words: The LORD deal kindly … (Ruth1:8), "The LORD grant that you may find rest (Ruth1:9). She was not mad at God for her situation. Ruth responded in like manner and said: Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me." (Ruth 1:17) These women knew their God well, and when the time was right, He responded to their faith. When He replied, He acted in wonderful ways and with great blessings. We have seen that when Ruth went out to find food, the Scriptures said: And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz,(Ruth 2:3).

  • Ruth - a Case for Women, Or a Case for Patriarchy?
    40 Australian Religion Studies Review Ruth - A Case for Women, or a Case for Patriarchy? Robert Martinez University of New England This article analyses the Old Testament character, Ruth, in the social, historical, and religious context of the biblical book that bears her name. The study employs a feminist literary perspective to show that popular readings are misplaced in suggesting that both the character and the book of Ruth is emblematic for women s issues and concerns. It is also argued that it is naive to try to reclaim both the character and the book for feminism given the patriarchal ends which both serves. Like the other main characters in the book, Ruth is shown to be a complex figure with mixed motives and this prohibits any facile stereotyping of her character as a paradigm of virtue or the like. By any account, Ruth is a classic narrative. It has been described "an elegantly wrought classic version of the rags-to-riches story, of hard work and proper reward, told from the point of view of women" (Tischler, 1993: 151 ). To the degree that this book elevates and makes prominent women and their concerns it is an atypical Biblical narrative. Throughout, Ruth shows herself to be a loyal and courageous woman, being praised by the Bethlehemite women as being better "than seven sons" (Ruth 4:15, NIV) to Naomi, her mother-in-law. Nevertheless, despite Ruth's obvious strengths and virtues, there remains a deep ambiguity with regard to the place of women in general, and Ruth in particular, in this narrative.

  • THRESHING FLOORS AS SACRED SPACES in the HEBREW BIBLE by Jaime L. Waters a Dissertation Submitted to the Johns Hopkins Universit
    THRESHING FLOORS AS SACRED SPACES IN THE HEBREW BIBLE by Jaime L. Waters A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland August 2013 © 2013 Jaime L. Waters All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Vital to an agrarian community’s survival, threshing floors are agricultural spaces where crops are threshed and winnowed. As an agrarian society, ancient Israel used threshing floors to perform these necessary activities of food processing, but the Hebrew Bible includes very few references to these actions happening on threshing floors. Instead, several cultic activities including mourning rites, divination rituals, cultic processions, and sacrifices occur on these agricultural spaces. Moreover, the Solomonic temple was built on a threshing floor. Though seemingly ordinary agricultural spaces, the Hebrew Bible situates a variety of extraordinary cultic activities on these locations. In examining references to threshing floors in the Hebrew Bible, this dissertation will show that these agricultural spaces are also sacred spaces connected to Yahweh. Three chapters will explore different aspects of this connection. Divine control of threshing floors will be demonstrated as Yahweh exhibits power to curse, bless, and save threshing floors from foreign attacks. Accessibility and divine manifestation of Yahweh will be demonstrated in passages that narrate cultic activities on threshing floors. Cultic laws will reveal the links between threshing floors, divine offerings and blessings. One chapter will also address the sociological features of threshing floors with particular attention given to the social actors involved in cultic activities and temple construction. By studying references to threshing floors as a collection, a research project that has not been done previously, the close relationship between threshing floors and the divine will be visible, and a more nuanced understanding of these spaces will be achieved.

  • Notes on Ruth 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Ruth 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE This book received its title in honor of the heroine of the story. One writer argued that "Naomi" is the main character in the plot, "Boaz" is the main character in the dialogue, and "Obed" is the main character in the purpose of the book.1 The name "Ruth" may mean "friendship," "comfort," or "refreshment." It appears to have been Moabite and not Hebrew, originally, though its etymological derivation is uncertain.2 Another writer suggested it may derive from the Hebrew root rwh, meaning "to soak, irrigate, refresh."3 After Ruth entered Israel, and especially after the Book of Ruth circulated, the name became popular among the Jews, and later among Christians. The same title appears over the book in its Hebrew (Masoretic), Greek (Septuagint), Latin (Vulgate), and modern language versions. DATE AND WRITER It is safe to assume that the Book of Ruth was put in its final form after David became king in Hebron, in 1011 B.C., since he is recognized as a very important figure in the genealogy (4:17, 22). How much later is hard to determine. The Babylonian Talmud attributed authorship of the book to Samuel.4 This statement reflects ancient Jewish tradition. If Samuel, or someone who lived about the same time as Samuel, wrote the book, the final genealogy must have been added much later—perhaps during the reign of David or Solomon. Modern critical scholars tend to prefer a much later date, on the basis of their theories concerning the date of the writing 1Daniel I.

  • Poems of Ruth
    Poems of Ruth woodcut by Jacob Steinhardt Shavuot 5772 / 2012 Poems by Marge Piercy, Rachel Barenblat, Alicia Ostriker, Tania Runyan, Victor Hugo, Kathryn Hellerstein, Anna Kamienska, Catherine Tufariello - 2 - THE HANDMAID'S TALE (RUTH) Time for a different kind of harvest. Sated with bread and beer Boaz and his men sleep deeply on the fragrant hay. The floor doesn’t creak. When Boaz wakes, his eyes gleam with unshed tears. He is no longer young, maybe forty; his face is lined as Mahlon's never became. Who are you? he asks and I hear an echoing question: who is it? what is it? who speaks? Spread your wings over me, I reply and his cloak billows high. Now he clasps my foreign hand and kisses the tips of my fingers now skin glides against skin and the seed of salvation grows in me the outsider, the forbidden we move from lack to fullness we sweeten our own story and as my belly swells I pray that the day come speedily and soon when we won't need to distinguish Israel from Moab the sun’s radiance from the moon’s Boaz’s square fingers from my smaller olive hands amen, amen, selah. Rabbi Rachel Barenblat - 3 - from NO ANGEL All that thou sayest unto me I will do. Ruth 3:5 I The story's strange. For once, God wasn't talking, Busy with some sacrifice or slaughter Somewhere else. No plague, cloud, gushing water, Dream, omen, whirlwind. Just two women, walking The dusty road from Moab to Judea, One, the younger, having told the other (Not her own, but her dead husband's mother) That she would never leave her.
