20And Naomi saith to her daughter-in-law, 'Blessed [is] he of Jehovah who hath not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead;' and Naomi saith to her, 'The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.'

Ruth 2 marks a pivotal turn in the narrative, as Ruth, a Moabite widow, goes to glean in the fields to provide for herself and Naomi. By divine providence, she “happens” upon the field of Boaz, a wealthy and honorable relative of Naomi's late husband. Boaz, hearing of Ruth's loyalty and kindness to Naomi, extends extraordinary favor and protection to her. This chapter beautifully illustrates God's providential care for the vulnerable, the importance of covenant loyalty, and the unfolding of redemption through unexpected means.
