Boaz

Facts:

Boaz was an Israelite man who was the husband of Ruth, the great grandfather of King David, and an ancestor of Jesus Christ.

Boaz lived during the time when there were judges in Israel.
He was a relative of an Israelite woman named Naomi who had returned to Israel after her husband and sons died in Moab.
Boaz "redeemed" Naomi's widowed daughter-in-law Ruth by marrying her and giving her a future with a husband and children.
He is seen as a picture of how Jesus rescued and redeemed us from sin.
