Ruth 2: The Narrator's Wink

🎧 Ruth 2 | The Narrator's WinkThere's a sentence today where the storyteller basically winks at the camera. Miss it, and you'll miss what this book believes about your ordinary Tuesday."As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz." The Hebrew is drier still: "her chance chanced." Ruth goes gleaning under the Law's provision for the poor and the foreigner — and lands in the field of the one man who could change everything. Today's tool: when the narrator plays up a coincidence, they're claiming providence. Watch for "find favour" — it comes three times — and a word we'll track all week: hesed, translated "kindness."#Ruth #Bible #BibleReading #Providence #Boaz #DailyBibleReadingDaily Bible Reading is a chapter-by-chapter Bible reading podcast from Christ Church Hemel, helping you read through the Bible one chapter at a time.
