What does the Bible say about Ruth 4:13? 🙋

👉 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.


Explanation: Okay, let's break down that verse from Ruth 4:13. It’s a really beautiful story about love and God’s plan! Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, Boaz (a kind of ruler) fell deeply in love with Ruth. Ruth was a Moabite woman – she came from a line of people who were exiled from Israel. She wasn't part of the royal family and wasn’t considered “worthy” to be married to someone of higher status. Then, God decided to intervene! He saw Boaz’s love for Ruth and wanted to bring them together. He used his power – through a special act – to make it happen. God gave Ruth a pregnancy. It wasn't just any pregnancy; it was a conception – like a baby being born. And finally, she bore a son! This son is the boy named Obed. Obed was Boaz’s great-grandfather and the one who inherited the land of Bethlehem. So, in short: God loved Ruth enough to give her a child, and that child became the ancestor of many important people in the Bible – including Jesus Christ! It's a story about divine providence and how love can lead to blessings. It’s a really powerful example of God working through our lives. --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse? Talk more specifically about the significance of this story (like its themes)?

What does the Bible say about Ruth 4:13? 🙋

👉 The term "Ruth 4:13" refers to a phrase from the New Testament in Mark's Gospel, which is often interpreted as a prayer that Jesus made after his crucifixion on Good Friday. The verse reads:


"Ruth 4:13-17 Behold my body, for it is of mine that I am buried." Here's how it sounds: - "My body, the body that I was" - "The body that I was buried in" So, let me explain what this phrase means: In Mark's Gospel, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday (which falls on Sunday after Easter). When he died, the blood of his sacrifice flowed over the ground, symbolizing his death and resurrection. The people gathered to celebrate his victory by throwing a feast to honor him. The next day, when they finished eating, an angel appeared to Jesus with a message from God: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased." (Mark 16:15) In this verse, the angel tells Jesus that he will soon be resurrected and raised from the dead. He will then take on greater power as an example of being alive, rather than dead. After his resurrection, Jesus was shown to a group of people who had gathered at a town called Samaria (Mark 16:17). The message Jesus gave them was that he would be "buried with us" in Samaria
