VERSE BY VERSE MINISTRY Presents Ruth SAN ANTONIO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH JUNE 14-18, 2009 1
Ruth 4:1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, Turn aside, friend, sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down. Ruth 4:2 He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, Sit down here. So they sat down. 2
Ruth 3:18 Then she said, Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he has settled it today. 3
Gen. 19:1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 4
Ruth 4:3 Then he said to the closest relative, Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech. Ruth 4:4 So I thought to inform you, saying, Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it. 5
Ruth 4:5 Then Boaz said, On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance. 6
Deut. 25:5 When brothers live together and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not be married outside the family to a strange man. Her husband s brother shall go in to her and take her to himself as wife and perform the duty of a husband s brother to her. Deut. 25:6 It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall assume the name of his dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel. 7
Ruth 4:6 The closest relative said, I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it. 8
Ruth 4:7 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and the exchange of land to confirm any matter: a man removed his sandal and gave it to another; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel. Ruth 4:8 So the closest relative said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. And he removed his sandal. Ruth 4:9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon. Ruth 4:10 Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today. 9
Deut. 25:8 Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak to him. And if he persists and says, I do not desire to take her, Deut. 25:9 then his brother s wife shall come to him in the sight of the elders, and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face; and she shall declare, Thus it is done to the man who does not build up his brother s house. Deut. 25:10 In Israel his name shall be called, The house of him whose sandal is removed. 10
Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned Rom. 5:13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom. 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 11
John 10:17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. John 10:18 No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father. 12
Rom. 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Rom. 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Rom. 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, Rom. 8:4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 13
Rom. 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope Rom. 8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Rom. 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 14
Col. 1:19 For it was the Father s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, Col. 1:20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. Col. 1:21 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, Col. 1:22 yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach 15
Heb. 1:1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, Heb. 1:2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 16
Ruth 4:11 All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem. Ruth 4:12 Moreover, may your house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman. 17
Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. Ruth 4:14 Then the women said to Naomi, Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. Ruth 4:15 May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter- in- law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him. Ruth 4:16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. Ruth 4:17 The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, A son has been born to Naomi! So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 18
Rom. 11:15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 19
Deut. 23:2 No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the LORD; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the LORD. 20
Ruth 4:18 Now these are the generations of Perez: to Perez was born Hezron, Ruth 4:19 and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Amminadab, Ruth 4:20 and to Amminadab was born Nahshon, and to Nahshon, Salmon, Ruth 4:21 and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed, Ruth 4:22 and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David. 21
