    I just realized that the whole gleaning thing is a biblically authorized social program. It wasn't the temple taking care of the poor, it was government legislation.
    Ì need to remember this example for future discussions with certain people

      @@donaldwert7137 Well, it's not just Ruth. In the priestly laws given in the Torah -- the first five books of the Bible -- it is MANDATED that when reaping your crop, you do not go back over it to catch the gleanings. You have to leave it for the poor, the widow, and the orphan. This is part of Jewish law.

      Sîn-ahhī-erība or Sîn-aḥḥē-erība, meaning "Sîn has replaced the brothers").
      Sennacherib is not a disease you want. He was obsessed about his father’s death.
      In turn he assassinated his older son, removed his second son as crown prince, who ganged up with a younger son and assassinated him. The crown prince then chased the two sons to the far ends of the earth, never we here of these again.
      Family Politics was nor a strength of the Assyrian royal family.

    The idea that Ruth tricked him has always bothered me. No one drinks to stupor when there’s too much work to make it home. He noticed her because of her hard work. He commended her for her loyalty to Naomi. She was brave enough to make a move on him. He asked her to stay the night because he intended to marry her. He emphasized that the other guy wouldn’t inherit so he would refuse and Boaz could marry her. A brave, loyal, hard working spouse is a find. She didn’t need to trick him.

    my head-cannon is that Ruth, being a moabite, doesn't understand the feet/genital idiom.. so she literally uncovers his feet and he wakes up and he puts 2 and 2 together and and thinks its cute. the genre is romantic comedy.

    On interpreting to your confort level and reading the Ruth and Boaz incident as a sexual assault (along the lines of Lot and Daughters, etc.), see Justin David Strong, "The Rape of Men in the Hebrew Bible, the Syrian Civil War, and the MeToo Movement." Pages 66-84 in Doing Biblical Masculinity Studies as Feminist Biblical Studies: Critical Interrogations. Sheffield Phoenix, 2023.

    Did I miss something in the Ruth story ? In act 2 she is so poor she is picking up grain other people have left behind. In act 4 she is an heir with some encumberences, that never come up again. Act 4 Ruth would not need to act like Act 2 Ruth, she could live on her property and Jane Austin her way into another sutible marriage.
