Ruth 4:6. How could a repurchaser ruin his inheritance by repurchasing? (w05 3/1 29 ¶3)
If the owner who sold it fell into poverty, the repurchaser had to acquire the land at the stipulated price according to the number of years remaining until Jubilee, which reduced the value of his own estate. Or also, as in the case of Ruth, if you had a son, he would inherit the fields and not the close relatives of the repurchaser.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Well, there were factors involved, for example, if the destitute person had sold his inheritance of land, the repurchaser had to acquire the land at a stipulated price according to the number of years remaining until the Jubilee, which would reduce the value of your own estate. Also, in Ruth's case, if she bore him a son, he would inherit the field, not the buyer's close relatives.
To begin with, if the destitute person had sold his inheritance of land, the repurchaser had to purchase the land at a stipulated price according to the number of years remaining until the Jubilee (Leviticus 25:25-27). . Doing this would reduce the value of your own estate. Furthermore, in Ruth's case, if a son was born to her, it would be he who would inherit the field, not the repurchaser's close relatives.
Because if the person to be repurchased had sold his inheritance of land, the repurchaser, in this case, had to obtain the land at a stipulated price commensurate with the years remaining until the Jubilee, which would undoubtedly reduce the value of their own assets. And as the end of the reference specifically explains, in Ruth's case, if a son was born to her, it would be he who would inherit the land, not the close relatives of the repurchaser.
Well, first, he could face a considerable reduction in his estate for buying the land at the price stipulated by the Law, and second, in the case of Ruth, if a son was born to him, it would be he who would inherit the field, not the close relatives of the repurchaser.
What spiritual gems have you found about Jehovah, the ministry, and other topics in this week's Bible reading?
Ruth 3:1. Noemà stated on several occasions that she wanted the best for her daughters-in-law. Ruth accompanied her and took care of her, and Naomi always had her in mind and gave her good advice. This teaches us that Jehovah, through his people and our family, always gives us people who care about us and give us good advice based on the Bible so that we do not lack for anything.
Ruth 3:2. The Law that Jehovah gave to Israel included some loving provisions for families that were experiencing difficulties due to being poor or having lost a loved one, if the widow had never had children, the Law of God allowed the brother-in-law to marry the widow to that she would give birth to a son who would perpetuate the name of the deceased and inherit the family properties, today Jehovah's people also have loving dispositions to guarantee help to those Christians who need it.
Ruth 3:1-5. Naomi advises Ruth on what to do to get close to Boaz and tell her that he is a Repurchaser. Perhaps she is surprised by this request from her mother-in-law, but since she respects her so much, she listens carefully to everything she says and agrees to her advice. This teaches us: that loving advice from older siblings can be very helpful. In addition, he reminds young people that they should avoid thinking that older people are not capable of understanding the challenges and problems that youth face, but rather, they should listen carefully, especially if this advice is accompanied by Jehovah's loving wisdom.
Ruth 3:5. Ruth always did what Naomi asked her to do. He always did good things for others, he was humble to do many of these things. It is an example to imitate, doing good things for others and building a good reputation for ourselves as Ruth did, which greatly pleased the eyes of Jehovah.
Ruth 3:10. Ruth's loyal love led her to do many good things for which she was recognized as an excellent woman and as this verse says. "Jehovah bless you". Ruth received many blessings for her loyal love, just as we will from God if we imitate this love for our brothers.
Ruth 3:11. Ruth she must feel extremely satisfied that Boaz has said that everyone considers her “a woman in whom she has such a good reputation is her desire to know Jehovah and serve him. In addition, she has shown great kindness and sensitivity towards Noemà and his people, since she has been willing to adapt to a culture and customs that she surely did not know. If we imitate Ruth's faith, we will strive to treat others, as well as her culture and customs, with deep respect. And if we do, we may also build an excellent reputation for ourselves.
Ruth 3:12. Boaz scrupulously followed Jehovah's law. Do we follow theocratic procedures with the same seriousness? Perhaps this means that we should consult the opinion or authorization of other brothers, instead of acting without asking permission and this would be a great lack of respect for Jehovah and the congregation, without a doubt we want to avoid such a procedure that is not loving or exemplary, we saw a video of this point at the 2015 regional assembly.
Ruth 3:13-15. Boaz asks Ruth to go back to bed and rest until dawn approaches; then she can leave without being seen, her intention is to protect her reputation and also her own, because someone could mistakenly think that they have committed some immoral act, likewise Christians must make sure to take care of their conduct so that misinterpretations or misunderstandings do not arise. misunderstandings, this is important because this will primarily protect our reputation.
Ruth 3:14. And what these women did, we learn that whenever something good happens in our life or in the life of someone close to us, let us not forget to thank Jehovah and praise him, since it is through him that we have everything.
Ruth 3:16,17. Boaz was a generous and kind man, he did not allow Ruth to go to her mother-in-law's house empty-handed, so he sends her with a generous gift, because of this Jehovah rewarded him richly. This teaches me: that although we live surrounded by selfish people and it can be difficult to maintain a generous spirit, servants of Jehovah should care about the well-being of others and find ways to help them in whatever they need. Undoubtedly, having a habit of being generous will bring us closer to Jehovah and because of this he will not bless and reward more than enough.
Ruth 3:17. Boaz gave Ruth six measures of an unspecified weight, he was a very generous man, he did not want her to leave empty handed, this is an excellent example, of sharing and helping, he knew the difficult situation they were going through so he always kept helping, Jehovah is happy with those who have been sharing with others all this time, he promises to bless them.
Ruth 3:16,18. When Ruth returns to her mother-in-law's house, she tells her what Boaz had done for her, so Naomi tells her not to go gleaning in the fields, but to "wait and see how the matter ends, until it is resolved." This teaches me: that there will be times when we do not understand why Jehovah's organization makes a certain decision, in that case, we must imitate Ruth, we must stay "waiting and see how the matter ends, until everything turns out well". We are invited to trust fully in Jehovah's guidance and in the arrangements of his earthly organization because in due time he will make it all work out for the best.
Ruth 3:18. In this verse Naomi tells him to wait and see how this matter ends. We can extrapolate a lesson from this and it is that, in the face of a situation, we as servants of God have to act with loyal love and according to biblical principles. Then it will be God who finishes solving this matter and we have to trust Him.
Ruth 3:18. In Naomi and Ruth's example of waiting to see how this matter turns out, we can learn to always trust every provision we receive, especially those that come from God's earthly organization, and to respect theocratic authority, even though it is true that we do not. we can fully understand, what we must always keep in mind is that everything we receive comes from Jehovah and is for our benefit.
Ruth 4:1,3,4. Boaz shows that he is a just man, upright and obedient to Jehovah's commandments in every aspect of his life. He goes to the gate of the city and waits for the man who is most closely related to Elimelech's family and gives him the opportunity to make the repurchase. This teaches me: that in this selfish world where people try to hide the truth to achieve their goals, regardless of displeasing God or harming others, Christians must act differently and strive to be fair, upright and obedient to the rules. and laws of Jehovah in all aspects of life just as Boaz did.
Ruth 4:1-6. We see that before buying back Ruth, Boaz followed all Jehovah's instructions in this regard, this teaches us to always follow all the guidelines that Jehovah's organization gives us regarding any matter, since as servants of God we must always do things orderly manner.
Ruth 4:1-10. We see that Boaz is someone of quick action, he meets with the elders of the city and with the other repurchaser, seeing that he does not want to take Ruth, Boaz declares that he will be the repurchaser, thus proving to be a straight and altruistic man, of the In the same way, Christians can learn from Boaz by not waiting for the things we want to happen by themselves, rather, we take quick action and are willing to do everything in our power to fulfill what we have proposed.
Ruth 4:3-6. Boaz told a relative that it was up to him to repurchase the land from Elimelech, the man at first "hurries to make a decision and accepts", but then he finds out that he must also marry Ruth, for this reason, he refuses to do so , claiming that doing so would ruin his own inheritance. This teaches me: that we should not rush when making an important decision, rather, the Bible encourages us to take time to think calmly and know all the details involved. When making decisions, let us show that we are not thoughtless or indecisive people, but that we are constant in everything we say and do.
Ruth 4:4. Boaz, before wanting to repurchase and take Ruth as his wife, spoke with the repurchaser who believed he had the right to this before him and with some elders to be witnesses. This teaches us that our affairs in life have to be done correctly, Jehovah is a witness in our decisions, and these must always be as indicated in the Bible, since it is to Him that we will be accountable.
Ruth 4:6. The closest repurchaser gives up his repurchase right, the reason he gives has a selfish motive, he said it was because he would ruin his own inheritance. He inadvertently rejects "the opportunity or privilege of being a direct ancestor of Jesus." This teaches me that Christians should not turn down privileges or opportunities to do more in Jehovah's service just because we think doing so would ruin our lives. We should meditate on our own reasons why we reject privileges, the truth is that those who serve Jehovah with a complete heart will receive eternal blessings.
Ruth 4:7. Although they were acquaintances, perhaps friends, they followed a legal procedure for such an important decision, this teaches us that although we love and love our brothers we want to put our business deals in writing for them, this in the long run is a protection for everyone, so no one should be offended to hear that we want to put it in writing.
Ruth 4:6-10. Boaz was a good man who respected Naomi, Ruth, and her family name in their inheritance. It is an example to imitate with which we must treat all people and our brothers with respect, in a dignified manner as the Bible teaches us, even though the morality of this system goes in the opposite direction.
Ruth 4:13. Ruth had many blessings from Jehovah. We know that if we do things as God wants, we are excellent people full of loyal love, we do his will and pure worship, he will also provide us with many blessings for our work and effort.
Ruth 4:15. Ruth loved her mother-in-law Naomi so much that later they said that she was better to Naomi than seven sons. Jehovah blesses us in the congregation with brothers who love us very much, it is important that we also reciprocate and love our brothers too.
Ruth 4:16. This story had a very happy ending, the book of Ruth paints Jehovah as a God of love who works in favor of those who are devoted to him. Furthermore, it proves that God's purpose never fails. Therefore, we can have and must have, the same spirit that David expressed, who declared: «Surely we will cry joyfully because of your salvation, and in the name of our God we will raise our banners. May Jehovah fulfill all your requests. Now I truly know that Jehovah certainly saves his anointed. He answers from his holy heavens with the mighty saving acts of his right hand."
Ruth 4:16. Boaz married Ruth and soon had a son, the women of Bethlehem congratulated Naomi and praised her daughter-in-law, saying that she had been of more value to her than seven sons but the one who had the greatest joy was Naomi because by taking care of her grandson all sadness or bitterness that he had in his heart was disappearing, this shows the effect that news and happy events can have on people who have been through painful situations, their mood will improve thanks to the good they are perceiving.
Ruth 4:15,16. Not only Ruth had many blessings, but also Naomi. Who finally had a grandson to take care of and not feel alone. This teaches us that Jehovah always provides us with what we need. Sometimes we have to wait a bit, but he is always there taking care of us.
Ruth 4:22. In the end we can realize that Ruth and Boaz became part of the promised offspring since their son Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David without a doubt at this point in the biblical story we can see how the lineage is being formed that began with Abraham and that, as we all know, will end with the birth of the promised offspring, Jesus.
