@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 Hi Virginia. Boaz was not the first Kinsman Redeemer in line for Ruth. (Ruth 3.12). He clearly wanted Ruth but could only claim his right of redemption if the nearest redeemer was unwilling. The parallel with Christ’s redeeming quality is only partial, and a shadow.
