‘ Hanamel is going to come to you. He is the son of your uncle Shallum. Hanamel will say,“ Buy my field at Anathoth. You are my closest relative. So it’s your right and duty to buy it.” ’“ Then my cousin Hanamel came to me. I was in the courtyard of the guard. It happened just as the Lord had said it would. Hanamel said,‘ Buy my field at Anathoth. It is in the territory of Benjamin. It is your right to buy it and own it. So buy it for yourself.’“ I knew that this was the Lord’ s message.

If you are willing to buy it back, do it. But if you aren’t, tell me. Then I’ll know. No one has the right to buy it back except you. And I’m next in line.”“ I’ll buy it,” he said.Then Boaz said,“ When you buy the property from Naomi, you must also marry Ruth. She is from Moab and is the dead man’s widow. So you must marry her.

So you buy it. I can’t do it.”

You have been working with the women who work for Boaz. He’s a relative of ours. Tonight he’ll be separating the straw from his barley on the threshing floor.

You know the grace shown by our Lord Jesus Christ. Even though he was rich, he became poor to help you. Because he became poor, you can become rich.

Here is the new song they sang.“ You are worthy to take the scroll and break open its seals. You are worthy because you were put to death. With your blood you bought people for God. They come from every tribe, people and nation, no matter what language they speak.

Again he says,“ I will put my trust in him.”( Isaiah 8:17) And again he says,“ Here I am. Here are the children God has given me.”( Isaiah 8:18)Those children have bodies made out of flesh and blood. So Jesus became human like them in order to die for them. By doing this, he could break the power of the devil. The devil is the one who rules over the kingdom of death.
