Kindness: Boaz Blesses Ruth

Boaz now generously responds to the outsider Ruth, with great kindness and interest. He personally requests that she looks permanently to him for protection and provision. He also shares with her the glorious report that he had received about her faithful service to Naomi. And finally, he expresses his desire that Ruth receives a bountiful reward from Yahweh Himself for all that she has done, since she has sought refuge under the wings of the God of Israel.
