Ruth 4:1–10: What Redemption Means
Boaz settles the matter at the city gate, buying the land and taking Ruth so a dead man's name is not cut off. Redemption here is personal, costly, public, and aimed at restoring a family's place among God's people.
Job 19:25–27: My Redeemer Lives
Job 19:25–27 joins a real death to a real hope: Job expects his skin to be destroyed and still expects his own eyes to see God. It is one of the Old Testament's clearest personal statements that death will not end fellowship with God.
