Ruth: The Hebrew Verb That Means to Stay
A guided reading of the book of Ruth
Twelve scenes about a Moabite woman whom today's readers tend to know better as a romantic character than as a theologian of the covenant, a single Hebrew word that defines the entire book, a barley field with gleaning laws designed for women like her, and the genealogy of David, and of Jesus, that passed deliberately through a foreigner.
This journey is read in full inside Hesed.
