Attention Bethlehem Boaz Catches Eventually Gleaning Grand Son Marries Newly Ruth Testament Widowed
Ruth Gleaning
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating image from the Bible's Old Testament, depicting the pivotal moment when the widowed Ruth, played by an elderly woman in this print, catches the attention of Boaz in a newly-reaped field at Bethlehem. This scene, taken from the Book of Ruth, recounts a significant historical event that ultimately led to the birth of King David, a great-grandson of Ruth and Boaz. In the image, Ruth, dressed in a simple yet elegant robe, bends over to glean among the ripened wheat, her focus intently on the ground before her. The sun casts a warm glow over the golden fields, creating a serene and idyllic setting. In the distance, Boaz, a distinguished figure in a flowing robe, observes Ruth with a thoughtful expression. The connection between the two is palpable, as their eyes meet, hinting at the future union that will unfold. The story of Ruth and Boaz is a testament to faith, loyalty, and redemption. After the death of her husband, Ruth, a Moabite, chose to remain in her late husband's homeland, Bethlehem, and gleaned in the fields to provide for herself and her mother-in-law, Naomi. Boaz, a kind and generous landowner, took notice of Ruth's hard work and dedication, ultimately offering her protection and eventually marrying her. Their union produced a son named Obed, who became the grandfather of King David. This evocative print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and timeless stories of the Bible. The image invites us to reflect on the faith and determination of Ruth, and the profound impact her actions had on the future of Israel.
