(At that time in Israel, in order to finalize a transaction concerning redeeming and transferring property, a man would customarily remove a sandal and give it to the other party, making the contract legally binding.) So when the kinsman-redeemer said to Boaz, “Take my purchase option of redemption for yourself,” he took off his sandal and gave it to Boaz. Then Boaz turned to the elders and announced publicly, “Today, you are witnesses that I have purchased from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon. I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife. I will raise children with her who will maintain the dead man’s name on his inheritance so that the name of the dead may not be cut off from his village and from his family line. Today, you are witnesses of this transaction.”

We all have conflict in the home at times don’t we? We can learn in this Guide about finding hope in our home from the Book of Ruth. The book teaches us loving sacrifice, obedience, and the loving, faithful nature of God in times of trouble.
Ruth is set during the rebellion and wickedness of the time of the Judges. Although the book begins with tragedy, God weaves together a beautiful tapestry of faithfulness, loyal love, and providence. This book reminds us that God takes the most unlikely people and most unlikely circumstances to bring about his redemptive purposes.
