3. Explains the Significance of the Cultural Customs Mentioned within the Book of Ruth

The Book of Ruth is packed with cultural traditions that enrich the meaning of the story. This Ruth Bible study explains these important cultural practices and show their significance. For example:

• Naomi had a social status lower than a slave once her husband and sons died.
• Ruth took home more than 10 times the average salary of harvesters when she worked in Boaz’s field.
• When Ruth asked Boaz to “spread the corner of [his] garment” over her, she is asking him to make a symbolic gesture for marriage. (Plus, you will find out how this particular act relates to our covenant in Christ.)

4. Shows the Meaning of Key Names and Phrases

Find out the Hebrew meaning of key names, words, and phrases, and how they relate to the bigger story of God’s faithfulness. For example:

• Naomi [which means “pleasant”] changes her name to “Mara” [which means “bitter”].
• Both Boaz and Ruth are praised for showing “Hesed,” a type of love that suggests taking loyalty, commitment, and compassion a step beyond what is simply required.

5. Emphasizes God’s Continual Faithfulness

In the story of Ruth, we encounter loss, suffering, disappointment, uncertainty, and bitterness. But we also find good news; we find love, commitment, perseverance, hope, and God’s powerful guidance in the midst of trials. Even though Ruth wasn’t an Israelite, she was called by God to something much greater than anyone expected: She is one of only five women listed as an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Her story is a reminder to us all of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness.
