Commentary on Ruth 3:17
Evidence shown: 'And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said unto me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law'. Ruth reports Boaz's words showing his care extended to Naomi—he didn't want Ruth returning empty-handed. The large gift tangibly demonstrated Boaz's commitment and ability to provide abundantly. His concern for Naomi showed he understood that redeeming Ruth meant caring for her whole family, not just gaining a wife. This demonstrated covenant thinking—marriage joined families, creating comprehensive mutual responsibilities.
