Ruth 4: The Man Whose Name Was Deleted

🎧 Ruth 4 | The Man Whose Name Was DeletedThere's a man in today's chapter whose name was deleted. On purpose. And a genealogy — the bit everyone skips — turns out to be the punchline of the whole book.A nearer kinsman refuses to redeem Ruth, protecting his own estate — legally reasonable, and it costs him his name: "So-and-so." Boaz steps up instead, at personal cost, and "the LORD enabled her to conceive" — the narrator's only direct word in four chapters. Today's tool: read the ending like a punchline. Obed, Jesse, David. Empty to Full — and the line runs all the way to Jesus, the redeemer who didn't refuse.#Ruth #Bible #BibleReading #Redeemer #Jesus #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.
