Levirate Marriage | The Book of RUTH with Johannes Gerloff #57

Ploni Almoni is ready to redeem the field of Elimelech for Naomi. At this point Boas adds another condition, which is not without a certain logic, but is not necessarily linked to the obligation of the redeemer. According to Boaz, the redeemer of Elimelech’s inheritance must also consummate the levirate marriage with Ruth.
