Read Ruth 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

10Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

Ruth 4:9-10

Biblical Context

Boaz publicly declares that he has bought Elimelech's and Mahlon's lands and Ruth to be his wife, so the dead man's name will be kept alive among his people at the gate.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the scene is played as if Boaz is your inner I AM, standing before the gate of your consciousness, declaring purchase of the land of your future and the union with Ruth, your desired result. The act of purchase is not about property but about consent of your inner state—you choose a new disposition that preserves the lineage of your dreams. The witnesses are the faculties that attest to your new reality; the dead are past dreams; raising up the name is breathing life into the dream by giving it a present existence in your life. Wealth is your capacity to hold this new state; generosity becomes the natural overflow of seeing yourself as owner of your inner economy. The scene invites you to rest in the certainty that your world responds to your assumed state—your life becomes the living memory of a dream kept alive by your fidelity to the new consciousness.

Practice This Now

In stillness, declare, 'I have purchased the land of my future and Ruth to be my wife; I am secure in this covenant.' Feel the new state settling into your chest.
