00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.020
We<00:04:08.659><c> can</c><00:04:08.780><c> make</c><00:04:08.879><c> them</c><00:04:09.060><c> feel</c><00:04:09.259><c> like</c><00:04:09.460><c> second</c><00:04:09.740><c> class</c><00:04:09.979><c> citizens.</c>

00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:14.099

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.899
I<00:04:16.120><c> told</c><00:04:16.279><c> you</c><00:04:16.500><c> don't</c><00:04:16.860><c> go</c><00:04:17.120><c> live</c><00:04:17.220><c> in</c><00:04:17.439><c> isolation.</c>

You<00:04:18.240><c> see</c><00:04:18.279><c> what</c><00:04:18.480><c> happened?</c>

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.259

00:04:21.579 --> 00:04:23.399
And<00:04:21.759><c> now</c><00:04:21.939><c> you</c><00:04:22.079><c> see</c><00:04:22.220><c> the</c><00:04:22.420><c> results.</c>

So<00:04:24.220><c> that</c><00:04:24.339><c> we</c><00:04:24.439><c> can</c><00:04:24.620><c> have</c><00:04:24.839><c> a</c><00:04:24.939><c> kind</c><00:04:25.120><c> of</c><00:04:25.339><c> harshness</c><00:04:25.939><c> and</c><00:04:27.500><c> a</c><00:04:27.720><c> condemnation.</c>

00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:46.279
Nobody<00:04:45.220><c> criticizes</c><00:04:45.740><c> her.</c>

00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:48.079
They<00:04:46.959><c> say,</c><00:04:47.360><c> is</c><00:04:47.399><c> this</c><00:04:47.759><c> Naomi?</c>

00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:50.959

He's<00:06:25.100><c> a</c><00:06:25.240><c> kinsman,</c><00:06:25.959><c> a</c><00:06:26.379><c> relative.</c>

00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:30.660
And<00:06:28.500><c> he's</c><00:06:29.019><c> a</c><00:06:29.180><c> mighty</c><00:06:29.500><c> man</c><00:06:30.199><c> of</c><00:06:30.439><c> wealth.</c>

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:35.100
Now<00:06:31.079><c> it</c><00:06:31.120><c> says</c><00:06:31.600><c> he's</c><00:06:32.480><c> a</c><00:06:32.540><c> kinsman</c><00:06:32.839><c> of</c><00:06:33.000><c> a</c><00:06:33.079><c> husband,</c><00:06:34.540><c> a</c><00:06:34.680><c> mighty</c><00:06:34.920><c> man</c>

of<00:06:35.319><c> wealth.</c>

00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.519
And<00:06:37.060><c> that</c><00:06:37.379><c> word</c><00:06:37.639><c> that</c><00:06:37.819><c> is</c><00:06:37.899><c> used</c><00:06:38.120><c> for</c><00:06:38.360><c> wealth</c><00:06:38.839><c> is</c><00:06:39.879><c> a</c><00:06:40.199><c> word</c><00:06:40.339><c> that</c>

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.000

an<00:06:47.459><c> individual</c><00:06:48.079><c> of</c><00:06:48.639><c> strength,</c><00:06:49.379><c> of</c><00:06:49.759><c> character.</c>

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:53.100
It's<00:06:50.759><c> the</c><00:06:50.879><c> same</c><00:06:51.199><c> word</c><00:06:51.579><c> that</c><00:06:51.839><c> is</c><00:06:52.139><c> translated</c><00:06:52.639><c> in</c><00:06:52.860><c> the</c>

00:06:54.819 --> 00:06:55.980
A<00:06:55.100><c> virtuous</c><00:06:55.519><c> woman.</c>

00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.579
The<00:06:56.620><c> same</c><00:06:56.800><c> word</c><00:06:57.040><c> that</c><00:06:57.180><c> will</c><00:06:57.379><c> be</c><00:06:57.560><c> used</c><00:06:57.759><c> later</c><00:06:58.160><c> on</c><00:06:58.620><c> for</c><00:06:58.920><c> another</c><00:06:59.199><c> woman</c>

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:02.740
who<00:06:59.980><c> will</c><00:07:00.139><c> be</c><00:07:00.339><c> called</c><00:07:00.660><c> a</c><00:07:01.240><c> virtuous</c><00:07:01.699><c> woman.</c>

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:07.540
So<00:07:03.259><c> here</c><00:07:03.560><c> at</c><00:07:03.759><c> the</c><00:07:03.980><c> beginning</c><00:07:04.399><c> of</c><00:07:04.680><c> this</c><00:07:04.959><c> chapter</c><00:07:05.259><c> is</c><00:07:05.540><c> a</c><00:07:05.819><c> virtuous</c><00:07:06.339><c> man.</c>

00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:12.660
Now<00:07:08.379><c> it</c><00:07:08.500><c> says</c><00:07:08.720><c> that</c><00:07:09.259><c> he's</c><00:07:10.379><c> a</c><00:07:11.300><c> relative</c><00:07:11.819><c> of</c><00:07:12.079><c> her</c><00:07:12.199><c> husband.</c>

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.300
And<00:07:13.100><c> then</c><00:07:13.220><c> it</c><00:07:13.339><c> says</c><00:07:13.600><c> once</c><00:07:13.860><c> again</c><00:07:14.060><c> of</c><00:07:14.220><c> the</c><00:07:14.279><c> family</c><00:07:14.639><c> of</c><00:07:14.839><c> Elimelech.</c>

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.339
Well,<00:07:15.560><c> why</c><00:07:15.699><c> does</c><00:07:15.860><c> it</c><00:07:15.959><c> have</c><00:07:16.139><c> to</c><00:07:16.300><c> say</c><00:07:16.459><c> that?</c>

00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:18.980
Can't<00:07:18.540><c> we</c><00:07:18.680><c> read?</c>

00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:22.160
This<00:07:19.699><c> author</c><00:07:20.000><c> must</c><00:07:20.240><c> think</c><00:07:20.399><c> that</c><00:07:20.579><c> we're</c><00:07:20.779><c> a</c><00:07:21.019><c> particularly</c><00:07:21.560><c> daft</c>

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.480
or<00:07:23.660><c> unheeding</c>

00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:28.300
or<00:07:26.379><c> not</c><00:07:26.740><c> very</c><00:07:27.220><c> intelligent</c><00:07:27.740><c> audience</c>

00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:30.420
because<00:07:28.720><c> he</c><00:07:28.860><c> keeps</c><00:07:29.100><c> having</c><00:07:29.339><c> to</c><00:07:29.540><c> say</c><00:07:29.660><c> things</c><00:07:29.920><c> once,</c><00:07:30.160><c> twice,</c>

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:31.939
three<00:07:30.660><c> times.</c>

00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:36.240
And<00:07:33.459><c> Elimelech</c><00:07:33.939><c> died,</c><00:07:35.120><c> Naomi's</c><00:07:35.759><c> husband.</c>

00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.759
Didn't<00:07:36.660><c> we</c><00:07:36.860><c> already</c><00:07:37.139><c> know</c><00:07:37.319><c> that?</c>

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:40.519
And<00:07:38.500><c> the</c><00:07:38.620><c> two</c><00:07:38.740><c> of</c><00:07:38.879><c> them</c><00:07:39.100><c> died,</c><00:07:39.540><c> both</c><00:07:39.980><c> of</c><00:07:40.279><c> them.</c>

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:43.040
Can't<00:07:40.920><c> we</c><00:07:41.060><c> work</c><00:07:41.199><c> that</c><00:07:41.439><c> out</c><00:07:41.579><c> if</c><00:07:41.699><c> the</c><00:07:41.839><c> two</c><00:07:41.939><c> of</c><00:07:42.060><c> them</c><00:07:42.220><c> died?</c>

00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:46.839
And<00:07:43.319><c> here</c><00:07:43.660><c> it's</c><00:07:44.680><c> a</c><00:07:44.800><c> relative</c><00:07:45.079><c> of</c><00:07:45.319><c> her</c><00:07:45.420><c> husband,</c><00:07:45.959><c> of</c><00:07:46.079><c> the</c><00:07:46.300><c> family</c><00:07:46.620><c> of</c>

00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:47.480
her<00:07:47.000><c> husband.</c>

00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:48.519
Can't<00:07:47.879><c> we</c><00:07:48.000><c> work</c><00:07:48.160><c> that</c><00:07:48.399><c> out?</c>

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.500
Why<00:07:49.379><c> are</c><00:07:49.420><c> you</c><00:07:49.699><c> having</c><00:07:49.959><c> to</c><00:07:50.139><c> tell</c><00:07:50.240><c> us</c><00:07:50.420><c> twice?</c>

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.920
Perhaps<00:07:52.319><c> because</c><00:07:52.699><c> he's</c><00:07:52.920><c> trying</c><00:07:53.220><c> to</c><00:07:53.579><c> draw</c><00:07:53.959><c> a</c><00:07:54.319><c> parallel</c><00:07:54.680><c> or</c><00:07:55.160><c> make</c><00:07:55.540><c> a</c><00:07:55.819><c> contrast.</c>

00:07:57.540 --> 00:08:01.339
There<00:07:57.720><c> was</c><00:07:57.980><c> Elimelech</c><00:07:59.120><c> with</c><00:07:59.480><c> a</c><00:07:59.680><c> decision</c><00:07:59.939><c> that</c><00:08:00.160><c> he</c><00:08:00.279><c> made.</c>

00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.959
He<00:08:01.480><c> was</c><00:08:01.660><c> a</c><00:08:01.860><c> leader</c><00:08:02.019><c> of</c><00:08:02.220><c> the</c><00:08:02.459><c> people.</c>

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.180
He<00:08:03.439><c> was</c><00:08:03.620><c> a</c><00:08:03.819><c> man</c><00:08:03.980><c> who</c><00:08:04.120><c> may</c><00:08:04.300><c> have</c><00:08:04.540><c> demoralized</c><00:08:05.620><c> many.</c>

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:09.939
When<00:08:06.639><c> one</c><00:08:07.019><c> man</c><00:08:07.339><c> makes</c><00:08:07.899><c> a</c><00:08:08.319><c> hefty</c><00:08:08.779><c> mistake</c><00:08:09.060><c> in</c><00:08:09.199><c> his</c><00:08:09.500><c> life,</c>

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:14.839
then<00:08:10.459><c> what</c><00:08:10.639><c> happens</c><00:08:11.100><c> is</c><00:08:11.660><c> many</c><00:08:12.319><c> people</c><00:08:12.680><c> are</c><00:08:12.980><c> affected</c><00:08:13.360><c> by</c><00:08:13.579><c> that</c><00:08:13.839><c> decision.</c>

00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:20.319
It<00:08:15.899><c> ripples</c><00:08:16.420><c> out</c><00:08:16.699><c> like</c><00:08:17.740><c> little</c><00:08:18.399><c> ripples</c><00:08:18.839><c> from</c><00:08:19.040><c> a</c><00:08:19.300><c> stone</c><00:08:19.500><c> dropped</c><00:08:19.759><c> in</c><00:08:19.920><c> a</c><00:08:20.040><c> pool.</c>

00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.500
It's<00:08:21.040><c> the</c><00:08:21.240><c> analogy</c><00:08:21.620><c> that</c><00:08:21.779><c> has</c><00:08:21.959><c> been</c><00:08:22.180><c> used.</c>

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:24.319
Very,<00:08:22.959><c> very</c><00:08:23.399><c> accurate.</c>

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.399
The<00:08:25.139><c> decisions</c><00:08:25.540><c> that</c><00:08:25.720><c> we</c><00:08:25.939><c> make</c><00:08:26.279><c> are</c><00:08:26.620><c> not</c><00:08:26.759><c> just</c><00:08:27.000><c> our</c><00:08:27.279><c> decisions.</c>

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.399
They<00:08:28.879><c> affect</c><00:08:29.120><c> many</c><00:08:29.379><c> people.</c>

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:33.539
So<00:08:30.980><c> there</c><00:08:31.160><c> was</c><00:08:31.459><c> Elimelech,</c><00:08:32.179><c> but</c><00:08:32.299><c> here</c><00:08:32.460><c> was</c><00:08:32.659><c> another</c><00:08:32.919><c> man</c><00:08:33.299><c> of</c>

00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:36.779
the<00:08:33.919><c> same</c><00:08:34.259><c> family,</c><00:08:35.179><c> same</c><00:08:35.460><c> peer</c><00:08:35.840><c> group.</c>

00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:40.000
And<00:08:37.299><c> this</c><00:08:37.480><c> man</c><00:08:37.620><c> didn't</c><00:08:37.860><c> make</c><00:08:38.100><c> that</c><00:08:38.320><c> decision</c><00:08:38.860><c> because</c><00:08:39.720><c> he</c><00:08:39.820><c> was</c>

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:40.720
a<00:08:40.120><c> virtuous</c><00:08:40.440><c> man.</c>

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.220
I<00:08:40.720><c> guess</c><00:08:40.899><c> he</c><00:08:41.000><c> was</c><00:08:41.179><c> a</c><00:08:41.200><c> man</c><00:08:41.360><c> of</c><00:08:41.580><c> wealth,</c><00:08:42.039><c> but</c><00:08:42.100><c> he</c><00:08:42.139><c> may</c><00:08:42.360><c> just</c><00:08:42.659><c> as</c><00:08:43.179><c> easily</c><00:08:43.480><c> have</c><00:08:43.679><c> been</c><00:08:44.000><c> a</c>

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:45.399
man<00:08:44.460><c> of</c><00:08:44.740><c> virtue,</c>

00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.580
of<00:08:46.019><c> courage,</c><00:08:47.159><c> of</c><00:08:47.399><c> integrity.</c>

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:52.919
And<00:08:49.019><c> it</c><00:08:49.159><c> says</c><00:08:49.600><c> his</c><00:08:50.159><c> name</c><00:08:50.720><c> was</c><00:08:51.659><c> Boaz.</c>

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.899

00:08:58.559 --> 00:08:59.500
It's<00:08:58.759><c> a</c><00:08:58.820><c> lovely</c><00:08:59.059><c> psalm.</c>

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:04.460

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:10.700

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:13.299

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.879

00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.500
They,<00:09:55.299><c> they,</c><00:09:55.879><c> so</c><00:09:55.960><c> the</c><00:09:56.200><c> vine</c><00:09:56.320><c> is</c><00:09:56.539><c> plural,</c>

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:36.960
You'll<00:10:34.340><c> note</c><00:10:34.580><c> that</c><00:10:34.840><c> he</c><00:10:34.940><c> was</c><00:10:35.179><c> a</c><00:10:35.500><c> strong</c><00:10:35.759><c> man.</c>

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:40.600
He<00:10:37.259><c> was</c><00:10:37.519><c> strong</c><00:10:38.159><c> in</c><00:10:38.600><c> integrity,</c><00:10:39.820><c> in</c><00:10:40.059><c> character.</c>

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.840
He<00:10:41.059><c> was</c><00:10:41.299><c> a</c><00:10:41.539><c> virtuous</c><00:10:41.980><c> man,</c><00:10:42.799><c> like</c><00:10:42.980><c> unto</c><00:10:43.279><c> the</c><00:10:43.480><c> man</c><00:10:43.799><c> Boaz,</c><00:10:44.559><c> even</c>

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.919
Where<00:16:15.700><c> were</c><00:16:15.899><c> they?</c>

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.679
They<00:16:17.299><c> didn't</c><00:16:17.519><c> come</c><00:16:17.740><c> to</c><00:16:17.940><c> help</c><00:16:18.120><c> her.</c>

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.559
And<00:16:20.620><c> why</c><00:16:20.779><c> is</c><00:16:20.919><c> it</c><00:16:20.980><c> that</c><00:16:21.019><c> they</c><00:16:21.159><c> have</c><00:16:21.320><c> to</c><00:16:21.460><c> go</c><00:16:21.600><c> and</c><00:16:21.759><c> glean?</c>

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.720
the<00:16:44.019><c> ones</c><00:16:44.120><c> with</c><00:16:44.299><c> the</c><00:16:44.460><c> earrings</c><00:16:44.659><c> and</c><00:16:44.840><c> the</c><00:16:45.000><c> eyelids</c><00:16:45.320><c> or</c><00:16:45.559><c> the</c><00:16:45.700><c> nose</c><00:16:45.980><c> or</c><00:16:46.200><c> whatever.</c>

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:51.360
And<00:16:47.659><c> you</c><00:16:47.840><c> think,</c><00:16:48.740><c> that</c><00:16:49.120><c> one's</c><00:16:49.419><c> not</c><00:16:49.600><c> coming</c><00:16:49.820><c> to</c><00:16:50.039><c> my</c><00:16:50.240><c> house</c>

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.879
because<00:16:52.000><c> then</c><00:16:52.259><c> there</c><00:16:52.299><c> will</c><00:16:52.500><c> be</c><00:16:52.659><c> nothing</c><00:16:52.919><c> to</c><00:16:53.159><c> use</c><00:16:53.379><c> the</c><00:16:53.620><c> silver</c>

polish<00:16:54.279><c> on.</c>

00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:57.480
Right?

00:16:58.139 --> 00:17:01.500
There<00:16:58.279><c> are</c><00:16:58.360><c> people</c><00:16:58.580><c> that</c><00:16:58.840><c> feel</c><00:16:59.059><c> very</c><00:16:59.500><c> lonely</c><00:16:59.879><c> in</c><00:17:00.139><c> our</c><00:17:00.299><c> ecclesias</c>

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:03.879
and<00:17:02.600><c> we</c><00:17:02.840><c> think</c><00:17:03.000><c> to</c><00:17:03.100><c> ourselves,</c>

00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.980
well,<00:17:04.460><c> if</c><00:17:04.559><c> they</c><00:17:04.660><c> really</c><00:17:04.880><c> need</c><00:17:05.039><c> something,</c><00:17:05.339><c> they'll</c><00:17:05.700><c> ask.</c>

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:10.180
Isn't<00:17:07.700><c> that</c><00:17:07.920><c> right?</c><00:17:08.200><c> Isn't</c><00:17:08.380><c> that</c><00:17:08.539><c> the</c><00:17:08.640><c> way</c><00:17:08.779><c> we</c><00:17:09.319><c> think?</c>

00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.640
So<00:17:10.640><c> we</c><00:17:10.680><c> don't</c><00:17:10.859><c> go</c><00:17:11.099><c> out</c><00:17:11.299><c> to</c><00:17:11.640><c> find</c><00:17:11.960><c> out</c><00:17:12.299><c> what</c><00:17:12.480><c> people's</c><00:17:13.039><c> needs</c><00:17:13.220><c> are.</c>

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:16.259
One,<00:17:15.359><c> we</c><00:17:15.500><c> think</c><00:17:15.720><c> we're</c><00:17:15.980><c> prying.</c>

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:20.940
Two,<00:17:17.420><c> we</c><00:17:17.519><c> don't</c><00:17:17.680><c> really</c><00:17:17.980><c> want</c><00:17:18.240><c> to,</c><00:17:19.359><c> in</c><00:17:19.559><c> many</c><00:17:19.819><c> cases.</c>

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:23.039
Sometimes<00:17:21.480><c> the</c><00:17:21.640><c> problems</c><00:17:21.880><c> are</c><00:17:22.039><c> too</c><00:17:22.240><c> frightening</c><00:17:22.579><c> for</c><00:17:22.779><c> us.</c>

00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:23.980
We<00:17:23.160><c> don't</c><00:17:23.279><c> want</c><00:17:23.420><c> to</c><00:17:23.539><c> deal</c><00:17:23.660><c> with</c><00:17:23.859><c> them.</c>

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:27.680
We<00:17:24.059><c> don't</c><00:17:24.180><c> want</c><00:17:24.359><c> to</c><00:17:25.000><c> come</c><00:17:25.299><c> close</c><00:17:25.819><c> to</c><00:17:26.119><c> the</c><00:17:26.759><c> leprosy</c><00:17:27.359><c> that</c><00:17:27.500><c> they</c>

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:28.559
may<00:17:28.019><c> have</c>

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.259
lest<00:17:28.900><c> we</c><00:17:29.039><c> be</c><00:17:29.259><c> infected.</c>

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:33.039
But<00:17:31.019><c> we're</c><00:17:31.119><c> all</c><00:17:31.359><c> lepers,</c><00:17:31.759><c> every</c><00:17:31.920><c> one</c><00:17:32.059><c> of</c><00:17:32.180><c> us.</c>

00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.079
Every<00:17:33.420><c> one</c><00:17:33.579><c> of</c><00:17:33.599><c> us</c><00:17:33.799><c> is</c><00:17:33.960><c> a</c><00:17:34.099><c> leper.</c>

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:38.059
And<00:17:35.700><c> we</c><00:17:35.799><c> have</c><00:17:35.900><c> people</c><00:17:36.140><c> that</c><00:17:36.359><c> are</c><00:17:36.440><c> lonely</c><00:17:36.680><c> in</c><00:17:36.839><c> our</c><00:17:37.039><c> ecclesias.</c>

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:39.579
They're<00:17:38.539><c> on</c><00:17:38.660><c> the</c><00:17:38.839><c> outskirts,</c>

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:42.240
they're<00:17:40.099><c> on</c><00:17:40.299><c> the</c><00:17:40.500><c> periphery</c><00:17:41.000><c> of</c><00:17:41.359><c> the</c><00:17:41.500><c> meeting.</c>

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:44.640
We<00:17:42.700><c> have</c><00:17:42.900><c> got</c><00:17:43.079><c> to</c><00:17:43.259><c> draw</c><00:17:43.400><c> them</c><00:17:43.579><c> into</c><00:17:43.859><c> our</c><00:17:44.200><c> lives.</c>

00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.700
We<00:17:45.440><c> have</c><00:17:45.680><c> got</c><00:17:45.940><c> to</c><00:17:46.039><c> draw</c><00:17:46.259><c> them</c><00:17:46.440><c> into</c><00:17:46.680><c> the</c><00:17:46.880><c> lives</c><00:17:47.059><c> of</c><00:17:47.240><c> the</c><00:17:47.400><c> ecclesias</c>

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:51.240
because<00:17:48.200><c> they</c><00:17:48.759><c> are</c><00:17:49.059><c> the</c><00:17:49.259><c> ones,</c><00:17:49.799><c> they</c><00:17:50.140><c> are</c><00:17:50.460><c> the</c><00:17:50.720><c> ones,</c>

00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:58.759
We'll<00:17:56.660><c> see</c><00:17:56.880><c> that</c><00:17:57.180><c> later</c><00:17:57.480><c> on</c><00:17:57.700><c> this</c><00:17:57.900><c> week.</c>

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:02.920
Yes,<00:18:00.059><c> we</c><00:18:00.400><c> need</c><00:18:00.619><c> to</c><00:18:00.859><c> preserve</c><00:18:01.200><c> the</c><00:18:01.519><c> truth</c><00:18:01.839><c> as</c><00:18:02.160><c> we</c><00:18:02.380><c> have</c><00:18:02.539><c> it.</c>

00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:04.920
We<00:18:03.339><c> need</c><00:18:03.519><c> to</c><00:18:03.700><c> protect</c><00:18:04.079><c> it.</c>

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.700
Our<00:18:05.440><c> statement</c><00:18:05.640><c> of</c><00:18:05.880><c> faith</c><00:18:06.119><c> is</c><00:18:06.319><c> something</c>

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:10.460
that<00:18:07.240><c> is</c><00:18:07.500><c> something</c><00:18:07.819><c> that</c><00:18:08.019><c> we</c><00:18:08.319><c> have</c><00:18:08.539><c> as</c><00:18:08.779><c> a</c><00:18:08.940><c> heritage</c><00:18:09.319><c> to</c><00:18:10.039><c> care</c><00:18:10.339><c> for.</c>

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:12.920
I<00:18:10.680><c> know</c><00:18:11.059><c> some</c><00:18:11.480><c> feel</c><00:18:11.759><c> that</c><00:18:11.900><c> that</c><00:18:12.019><c> is</c><00:18:12.140><c> not</c><00:18:12.319><c> the</c><00:18:12.480><c> case.</c>

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.839
That<00:18:13.500><c> scripture</c><00:18:14.279><c> is</c><00:18:14.500><c> scripture</c>

00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.000
and<00:18:15.200><c> the</c><00:18:15.460><c> statement</c><00:18:15.759><c> of</c><00:18:15.960><c> faith</c><00:18:16.119><c> is</c><00:18:16.359><c> separate</c><00:18:16.599><c> from</c><00:18:16.799><c> scripture.</c>

00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:17.859
It<00:18:17.180><c> isn't.</c>

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:20.400
It<00:18:18.000><c> is</c><00:18:18.339><c> a</c><00:18:18.539><c> codification</c><00:18:19.359><c> of</c><00:18:19.599><c> the</c><00:18:19.859><c> essentials</c>

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.220
of<00:18:20.920><c> the</c><00:18:21.200><c> teaching</c><00:18:21.539><c> of</c><00:18:21.900><c> scripture</c>

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:24.140
that<00:18:22.480><c> we</c><00:18:22.819><c> feel</c><00:18:23.059><c> as</c><00:18:23.319><c> a</c><00:18:23.460><c> community,</c>

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.460
that<00:18:24.799><c> we</c><00:18:25.019><c> feel</c><00:18:25.160><c> as</c><00:18:25.359><c> a</c><00:18:25.500><c> community,</c>

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.140
are<00:18:26.720><c> essential,</c><00:18:27.599><c> these</c><00:18:27.960><c> principles,</c>

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:31.740
to<00:18:29.420><c> know</c><00:18:29.700><c> and</c><00:18:29.960><c> understand</c><00:18:30.420><c> for</c><00:18:30.680><c> salvation.</c>

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.380

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:30.940

the<00:20:57.900><c> children</c><00:20:58.220><c> of</c><00:20:58.420><c> Jacob,</c><00:20:59.559><c> would</c><00:20:59.680><c> be</c><00:21:00.279><c> reduced.</c>

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:05.599
They<00:21:02.420><c> would</c><00:21:02.759><c> all</c><00:21:03.099><c> be</c><00:21:03.380><c> reduced</c><00:21:03.740><c> to</c><00:21:04.019><c> the</c><00:21:04.220><c> level</c><00:21:04.519><c> of</c><00:21:04.900><c> gleaners.</c>

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:11.160
So<00:21:06.240><c> they</c><00:21:06.299><c> would</c><00:21:06.539><c> all</c><00:21:06.839><c> have</c><00:21:07.420><c> the</c><00:21:07.880><c> plenty</c><00:21:08.480><c> that</c><00:21:09.480><c> gleaners</c><00:21:09.940><c> experienced.</c>

00:21:11.339 --> 00:21:13.400
So<00:21:11.579><c> remember</c><00:21:11.779><c> what</c><00:21:11.920><c> we're</c><00:21:12.140><c> reading</c><00:21:12.339><c> now</c><00:21:12.559><c> is</c><00:21:12.700><c> talking</c><00:21:13.000><c> about</c>

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:17.740
all<00:21:13.839><c> the</c><00:21:14.019><c> nation</c><00:21:15.019><c> being</c><00:21:15.720><c> leveled</c><00:21:16.559><c> to</c><00:21:16.700><c> the</c><00:21:16.880><c> level</c><00:21:17.039><c> of</c><00:21:17.240><c> gleaners.</c>

00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.319
So<00:21:18.319><c> this</c><00:21:18.480><c> is</c><00:21:18.619><c> what</c><00:21:18.779><c> gleaners</c><00:21:19.140><c> had</c><00:21:19.460><c> to</c><00:21:19.980><c> put</c><00:21:20.180><c> up</c><00:21:20.380><c> with</c><00:21:20.619><c> on</c><00:21:21.180><c> a</c>

daily<00:21:21.539><c> basis</c>

00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:23.339
when<00:21:22.079><c> they</c><00:21:22.279><c> went</c><00:21:22.400><c> to</c><00:21:22.579><c> glean</c><00:21:22.700><c> in</c><00:21:22.920><c> fields.</c>

00:21:23.819 --> 00:21:25.660
People<00:21:24.119><c> that</c><00:21:24.279><c> were</c><00:21:24.460><c> reduced</c><00:21:24.720><c> to</c><00:21:24.980><c> gleaning,</c>

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:27.789
this<00:21:26.140><c> is</c><00:21:26.819><c> what</c><00:21:27.079><c> they</c><00:21:27.259><c> went</c><00:21:27.420><c> through.</c>

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:31.819
Chapter<00:21:28.660><c> 17,</c><00:21:30.039><c> beginning</c><00:21:30.160><c> at</c><00:21:30.380><c> verse</c><00:21:30.599><c> 4.</c>

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.779
And<00:21:32.140><c> in</c><00:21:32.259><c> that</c><00:21:32.539><c> day</c><00:21:33.099><c> it</c><00:21:33.640><c> shall</c><00:21:33.859><c> come</c><00:21:34.099><c> to</c><00:21:34.339><c> pass</c><00:21:34.740><c> that</c><00:21:35.099><c> the</c><00:21:35.400><c> glory</c>

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:41.119
no,<00:21:37.559><c> it's</c><00:21:37.720><c> not</c><00:21:38.119><c> Israel,</c><00:21:39.039><c> it's</c><00:21:39.200><c> Jacob</c><00:21:39.660><c> the</c><00:21:40.099><c> wrestler,</c>

00:21:41.779 --> 00:21:46.059
the<00:21:42.000><c> supplanter,</c><00:21:43.480><c> the</c><00:21:43.640><c> man</c><00:21:43.839><c> who</c><00:21:44.140><c> tried</c><00:21:44.259><c> to</c><00:21:44.539><c> rely</c><00:21:44.700><c> on</c><00:21:44.839><c> himself,</c>

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:49.160

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.299
So<00:21:56.480><c> there</c><00:21:56.660><c> were</c><00:21:56.799><c> no</c><00:21:57.140><c> overweight</c><00:21:57.519><c> gleaners</c><00:21:58.039><c> in</c><00:21:58.180><c> Israel.</c>

00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:04.799
And<00:22:01.539><c> it</c><00:22:01.799><c> shall</c><00:22:01.960><c> be</c><00:22:02.200><c> as</c><00:22:02.380><c> when</c><00:22:02.559><c> the</c><00:22:02.819><c> harvest</c><00:22:03.119><c> man</c><00:22:03.500><c> gathereth</c><00:22:04.119><c> the</c><00:22:04.420><c> corn</c>

Yet<00:22:12.680><c> gleaning</c><00:22:13.220><c> grapes</c><00:22:13.519><c> shall</c><00:22:13.740><c> be</c><00:22:13.980><c> left</c><00:22:14.160><c> in</c><00:22:14.400><c> it,</c>

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:16.259

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.500
saith<00:22:26.819><c> the</c><00:22:27.059><c> God</c><00:22:27.220><c> of</c><00:22:27.380><c> Israel.</c>

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:31.380
What<00:22:29.299><c> it's</c><00:22:29.480><c> telling</c><00:22:29.700><c> us</c><00:22:30.000><c> is</c><00:22:30.140><c> there</c><00:22:30.359><c> really</c><00:22:30.660><c> wasn't</c><00:22:30.900><c> very</c><00:22:31.119><c> much</c>

00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:32.779
to<00:22:31.559><c> pick</c><00:22:31.680><c> up</c><00:22:31.839><c> and</c><00:22:32.000><c> eat.</c>

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:36.660
A<00:22:33.559><c> gleener</c><00:22:33.819><c> got</c><00:22:34.160><c> barely</c><00:22:34.720><c> enough</c><00:22:35.180><c> to</c><00:22:35.440><c> survive</c><00:22:35.779><c> on.</c>

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.240
They<00:22:36.859><c> certainly</c><00:22:37.299><c> didn't</c><00:22:38.099><c> fatten</c><00:22:38.460><c> them.</c>

00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:40.759
They<00:22:39.440><c> were</c><00:22:39.839><c> thin.</c>

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:43.279
That's<00:22:41.420><c> what</c><00:22:41.619><c> gleaners</c><00:22:41.920><c> had</c><00:22:42.079><c> to</c><00:22:42.220><c> put</c><00:22:42.339><c> up</c><00:22:42.539><c> with.</c>

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.819
And<00:22:44.200><c> so</c><00:22:44.440><c> Ruth</c><00:22:44.819><c> takes</c><00:22:45.640><c> it</c><00:22:45.799><c> upon</c><00:22:45.960><c> herself</c><00:22:46.240><c> to</c><00:22:46.380><c> go</c><00:22:46.539><c> do</c><00:22:46.680><c> that.</c>

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.960
She<00:22:46.940><c> doesn't</c><00:22:47.099><c> wait</c><00:22:47.380><c> for</c><00:22:47.539><c> anybody</c><00:22:47.740><c> to</c><00:22:47.880><c> go.</c>

00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:50.140
Nobody's<00:22:48.460><c> come</c><00:22:48.640><c> forward</c><00:22:48.819><c> to</c><00:22:49.000><c> help.</c>

00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:53.220
More<00:22:51.460><c> than</c><00:22:51.599><c> likely,</c><00:22:51.779><c> they</c><00:22:51.960><c> were</c><00:22:52.140><c> hungry.</c>

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.140
Ruth<00:22:53.960><c> would</c><00:22:54.160><c> say</c><00:22:54.339><c> to</c><00:22:54.460><c> her</c><00:22:54.660><c> mother</c><00:22:54.880><c>-in</c><00:22:55.119><c>-law,</c>

Mom,<00:22:57.359><c> what,</c><00:22:57.440><c> what,</c><00:22:58.359><c> what?</c>

00:22:58.859 --> 00:23:00.700
How<00:22:59.059><c> can</c><00:22:59.220><c> we</c><00:22:59.319><c> get</c><00:22:59.460><c> some</c><00:22:59.720><c> food?</c>

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:05.460
Perhaps<00:23:02.519><c> Naomi</c><00:23:02.859><c> might</c><00:23:03.079><c> say,</c><00:23:03.480><c> well,</c><00:23:04.940><c> sooner</c><00:23:05.140><c> or</c><00:23:05.279><c> later,</c>

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:07.079
somebody<00:23:05.740><c> may</c><00:23:05.920><c> come</c><00:23:06.220><c> forward</c><00:23:06.420><c> and</c><00:23:06.660><c> help</c><00:23:06.819><c> us</c>

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:09.380
and<00:23:07.480><c> give</c><00:23:07.680><c> us</c><00:23:07.900><c> something</c><00:23:08.180><c> to</c><00:23:08.480><c> eat.</c>

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.720
But<00:23:10.359><c> it</c><00:23:10.500><c> never</c><00:23:10.700><c> happened.</c>

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:13.940
And<00:23:12.539><c> then</c><00:23:12.700><c> she</c><00:23:12.779><c> might</c><00:23:12.980><c> say,</c><00:23:13.440><c> well,</c>

but<00:23:28.579><c> I'm</c><00:23:28.799><c> afraid</c><00:23:29.039><c> of</c><00:23:29.160><c> what</c><00:23:29.319><c> the</c><00:23:29.500><c> men</c><00:23:29.660><c> might</c><00:23:29.859><c> do</c><00:23:30.000><c> to</c><00:23:30.160><c> you.</c>

00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:33.839
And<00:23:32.059><c> so</c><00:23:32.160><c> there's</c><00:23:32.359><c> a</c><00:23:32.539><c> waiting</c><00:23:32.720><c> time.</c>

00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:35.539
And<00:23:34.259><c> then</c><00:23:34.440><c> Ruth</c><00:23:34.619><c> breaks</c><00:23:34.900><c> the</c><00:23:35.079><c> silence</c><00:23:35.220><c> and</c><00:23:35.240><c> says,</c>

00:23:35.619 --> 00:23:38.299
look,<00:23:36.460><c> let</c><00:23:36.779><c> me</c><00:23:36.960><c> go</c><00:23:37.119><c> in</c><00:23:37.299><c> the</c><00:23:37.460><c> field.</c>

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.920
Let<00:23:38.819><c> me</c><00:23:39.000><c> go</c><00:23:39.220><c> out</c><00:23:39.440><c> and</c><00:23:39.700><c> glean</c>

00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.480
in<00:23:40.000><c> the</c><00:23:41.440><c> eyes</c><00:23:41.680><c> of</c><00:23:41.880><c> somebody</c><00:23:42.220><c> that</c><00:23:42.420><c> I</c><00:23:42.559><c> might</c><00:23:42.700><c> find</c><00:23:42.980><c> grace</c><00:23:43.279><c> in</c>

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.099
the<00:23:43.640><c> eyes</c><00:23:43.859><c> of.</c>

00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:46.380
Now<00:23:44.619><c> Ruth</c><00:23:44.759><c> is</c><00:23:44.900><c> all</c><00:23:45.059><c> she</c><00:23:45.259><c> has.</c>

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:51.140
So<00:23:47.480><c> it's</c><00:23:47.640><c> an</c><00:23:47.779><c> act</c><00:23:47.900><c> of</c><00:23:48.180><c> faith</c><00:23:48.660><c> when</c><00:23:49.420><c> Naomi</c><00:23:49.759><c> says</c><00:23:50.019><c> to</c><00:23:50.180><c> her,</c>

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:53.180
go,<00:23:51.960><c> my</c><00:23:52.140><c> daughter.</c>

00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:55.059
It's<00:23:53.720><c> an</c><00:23:53.799><c> act</c><00:23:53.900><c> of</c><00:23:54.119><c> faith.</c>

00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.839
She<00:23:55.500><c> had</c><00:23:55.700><c> to</c><00:23:55.940><c> trust,</c><00:23:56.680><c> just</c><00:23:56.960><c> as</c><00:23:57.160><c> we</c><00:23:57.480><c> do,</c>

00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.440
that<00:23:58.140><c> send</c><00:23:58.319><c> our</c><00:23:58.559><c> children</c><00:23:58.859><c> to</c><00:23:59.119><c> public</c><00:23:59.420><c> school.</c>

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:03.519
And<00:24:00.880><c> it</c><00:24:01.099><c> is</c><00:24:01.579><c> evil</c><00:24:01.960><c> in</c><00:24:02.240><c> these</c><00:24:02.460><c> schools.</c>

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:06.539
Go,<00:24:05.000><c> my</c><00:24:05.200><c> daughter,</c><00:24:05.740><c> I</c><00:24:05.920><c> have</c><00:24:06.180><c> to</c><00:24:06.380><c> trust</c>

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:08.279
that<00:24:06.839><c> God</c><00:24:07.140><c> will</c><00:24:07.440><c> take</c><00:24:07.680><c> care</c><00:24:07.880><c> of</c><00:24:08.059><c> you.</c>

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.900
I'm<00:24:08.799><c> scared.</c>

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:12.119
And<00:24:10.420><c> I</c><00:24:10.500><c> don't</c><00:24:10.660><c> want</c><00:24:10.859><c> you</c><00:24:11.019><c> out</c><00:24:11.240><c> there.</c>

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:15.579
But<00:24:12.680><c> I</c><00:24:12.799><c> have</c><00:24:12.940><c> to</c><00:24:13.099><c> trust</c><00:24:13.259><c> that</c><00:24:13.480><c> God</c><00:24:13.599><c> will</c><00:24:13.799><c> take</c><00:24:13.960><c> care</c><00:24:14.160><c> of</c><00:24:14.259><c> you.</c>

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.059
Go,<00:24:16.079><c> my</c><00:24:16.200><c> daughter.</c>

00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.359
And<00:24:18.279><c> it</c><00:24:18.480><c> says</c><00:24:18.579><c> she</c><00:24:18.819><c> went,</c><00:24:20.079><c> she</c><00:24:20.319><c> came,</c>

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:23.380
she<00:24:21.960><c> gleaned</c><00:24:22.180><c> in</c><00:24:22.339><c> the</c><00:24:22.460><c> field</c><00:24:22.619><c> after</c><00:24:22.880><c> the</c><00:24:23.059><c> reapers,</c>

00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.079
and<00:24:23.980><c> her</c><00:24:24.279><c> hap</c><00:24:24.680><c> was</c><00:24:24.960><c> to</c><00:24:25.180><c> light</c><00:24:25.539><c> on</c><00:24:25.779><c> a</c><00:24:25.960><c> part</c><00:24:26.119><c> of</c><00:24:26.279><c> the</c><00:24:26.539><c> field</c>

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:28.660
belonging<00:24:27.779><c> unto</c><00:24:28.079><c> Boaz,</c>

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:30.799
which<00:24:29.140><c> was</c><00:24:29.380><c> of</c><00:24:29.519><c> the</c><00:24:29.759><c> kindred</c><00:24:30.059><c> of</c><00:24:30.240><c> Elimelech.</c>

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:32.519
Don't<00:24:31.500><c> we</c><00:24:31.680><c> already</c><00:24:31.960><c> know</c><00:24:32.160><c> that?</c>

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.099
What's<00:24:33.259><c> wrong</c><00:24:33.359><c> with</c><00:24:33.519><c> this</c><00:24:33.839><c> man?</c>

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:37.599
It's<00:24:34.480><c> a</c><00:24:34.539><c> real</c><00:24:34.819><c> nutcase</c><00:24:35.299><c> that's</c><00:24:35.480><c> written</c><00:24:35.660><c> this</c><00:24:35.920><c> book</c><00:24:36.039><c> for</c><00:24:36.220><c> us.</c>

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:41.579
No,<00:24:39.420><c> it's</c><00:24:39.619><c> somebody</c><00:24:39.960><c> who</c><00:24:40.299><c> cares</c><00:24:40.779><c> greatly,</c>

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:43.940
inspired<00:24:42.500><c> by</c><00:24:42.960><c> God,</c>

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.539
who's<00:24:44.519><c> writing</c><00:24:44.859><c> it</c><00:24:45.099><c> so</c><00:24:45.240><c> that</c><00:24:45.380><c> we</c><00:24:45.519><c> can</c><00:24:45.940><c> understand</c>

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:50.720
She<00:24:48.839><c> went</c><00:24:49.240><c> into</c><00:24:49.519><c> the</c><00:24:49.920><c> field</c>

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:54.240

00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:55.799

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:59.940
It<00:24:55.980><c> says</c><00:24:56.279><c> her</c><00:24:56.740><c> hap</c><00:24:58.460><c> was</c><00:24:58.940><c> to</c><00:24:59.200><c> chance</c><00:24:59.420><c> upon</c><00:24:59.700><c> us.</c>

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:02.400
In<00:25:00.279><c> the</c><00:25:00.500><c> Hebrew,</c><00:25:00.920><c> literally,</c><00:25:01.319><c> it</c><00:25:01.539><c> says.</c>

00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:05.039
I'm<00:25:03.000><c> sure</c><00:25:03.259><c> when</c><00:25:03.839><c> Brother</c><00:25:04.099><c> Barry</c><00:25:04.359><c> gets</c><00:25:04.660><c> a</c><00:25:04.799><c> chance</c>

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:07.640
he's<00:25:06.059><c> going</c><00:25:06.220><c> to</c><00:25:06.460><c> cringe</c><00:25:06.880><c> in</c><00:25:07.180><c> pain</c>

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.720

in<00:25:49.559><c> the</c><00:25:49.900><c> overall</c><00:25:50.440><c> fulfillment</c><00:25:50.960><c> of</c><00:25:51.140><c> his</c><00:25:51.460><c> plan</c>

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:55.279
and<00:25:52.720><c> the</c><00:25:53.039><c> overall</c><00:25:53.420><c> movement</c><00:25:53.839><c> of</c><00:25:54.140><c> communities.</c>

00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.660
But<00:25:55.599><c> he</c><00:25:55.740><c> doesn't</c><00:25:55.960><c> have</c><00:25:56.140><c> an</c><00:25:56.400><c> interest</c><00:25:56.579><c> in</c><00:25:56.759><c> us</c><00:25:56.920><c> as</c><00:25:57.160><c> individuals.</c>

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.180
That<00:25:57.920><c> is</c><00:25:58.240><c> wrong.</c>

00:25:59.500 --> 00:26:02.880
Nearly<00:25:59.940><c> all</c><00:26:00.180><c> of</c><00:26:00.299><c> the</c><00:26:00.579><c> Psalms</c><00:26:00.980><c> talk</c><00:26:01.240><c> about</c><00:26:01.619><c> God's</c><00:26:02.359><c> hand</c>

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.119
in<00:26:03.500><c> our</c><00:26:04.059><c> individual</c><00:26:04.980><c> little</c><00:26:06.039><c> lives.</c>

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:10.119
Or<00:26:08.339><c> else,</c><00:26:08.819><c> why</c><00:26:09.000><c> do</c><00:26:09.119><c> we</c><00:26:09.279><c> pray?</c>

00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:11.839
Is<00:26:10.960><c> he</c><00:26:11.160><c> a</c><00:26:11.279><c> corporation?</c>

00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:14.259
We<00:26:12.240><c> can't</c><00:26:12.500><c> make</c><00:26:12.619><c> it</c><00:26:12.759><c> all</c><00:26:12.859><c> the</c><00:26:12.960><c> way</c><00:26:13.059><c> up</c><00:26:13.180><c> to</c><00:26:13.279><c> the</c><00:26:13.440><c> president?</c>

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.900
We've<00:26:14.839><c> got</c><00:26:14.920><c> to</c><00:26:15.099><c> go</c><00:26:15.279><c> through</c><00:26:15.500><c> the</c><00:26:15.680><c> ranks?</c>

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:17.019
That's<00:26:16.200><c> what</c><00:26:16.319><c> Jews</c><00:26:16.519><c> believe.</c>

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:19.920
Through<00:26:17.740><c> angels,</c><00:26:18.819><c> that's</c><00:26:18.960><c> what</c><00:26:19.200><c> Catholics</c><00:26:19.500><c> believe.</c>

00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:21.599
Through<00:26:20.359><c> the</c><00:26:20.559><c> saints,</c><00:26:21.019><c> through</c><00:26:21.140><c> to</c><00:26:21.319><c> Mary,</c>

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:23.759
and<00:26:21.779><c> then</c><00:26:22.519><c> up</c><00:26:22.720><c> to</c><00:26:22.960><c> the</c><00:26:23.059><c> Lord</c><00:26:23.200><c> Jesus</c><00:26:23.500><c> Christ,</c>

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:25.240
and<00:26:23.980><c> maybe</c><00:26:24.220><c> up</c><00:26:24.440><c> and</c><00:26:24.640><c> across</c><00:26:24.819><c> to</c><00:26:25.019><c> God,</c>

00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:26.960
if<00:26:25.480><c> it's</c><00:26:25.619><c> too</c><00:26:25.839><c> complex.</c>

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:29.160
We<00:26:27.859><c> don't</c><00:26:28.099><c> believe</c><00:26:28.380><c> that.</c>

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.920
We<00:26:29.619><c> pray</c><00:26:29.779><c> to</c><00:26:29.960><c> God</c><00:26:30.240><c> directly</c>

00:26:31.420 --> 00:26:34.299
in<00:26:31.900><c> the</c><00:26:32.099><c> name</c><00:26:32.240><c> of</c><00:26:32.420><c> the</c><00:26:32.539><c> Lord</c><00:26:32.680><c> Jesus</c><00:26:33.039><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:36.660
And<00:26:34.700><c> God</c><00:26:34.839><c> hears</c><00:26:35.039><c> our</c><00:26:35.259><c> individual</c><00:26:35.640><c> prayers.</c>

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.019
So<00:26:37.440><c> God</c><00:26:37.920><c> was</c><00:26:38.240><c> involved</c>

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:41.799
in<00:26:39.700><c> the</c><00:26:39.980><c> moving</c><00:26:40.319><c> and</c><00:26:40.539><c> directing</c><00:26:40.960><c> of</c><00:26:41.380><c> Ruth</c>

00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:42.960
to<00:26:42.339><c> where</c><00:26:42.480><c> she</c><00:26:42.720><c> went.</c>

00:26:43.299 --> 00:26:47.119
Remember,<00:26:44.059><c> Ruth</c><00:26:44.359><c> is</c><00:26:44.519><c> in</c><00:26:44.680><c> the</c><00:26:44.839><c> line</c><00:26:45.000><c> of</c><00:26:45.180><c> the</c><00:26:45.319><c> Lord</c><00:26:45.460><c> Jesus</c><00:26:45.859><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:50.460
Would<00:26:47.240><c> God</c><00:26:47.519><c> have</c><00:26:47.759><c> not</c><00:26:48.000><c> taken</c><00:26:48.279><c> a</c><00:26:48.519><c> personal</c><00:26:48.880><c> interest</c><00:26:49.279><c> in</c><00:26:49.460><c> her?</c>

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:52.460
So<00:26:51.339><c> she's</c><00:26:51.599><c> hungry,</c>

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:54.200
and<00:26:52.559><c> she</c><00:26:52.680><c> has</c><00:26:52.859><c> to</c><00:26:53.000><c> go</c><00:26:53.140><c> get</c><00:26:53.279><c> some</c><00:26:53.500><c> food</c><00:26:53.700><c> to</c><00:26:53.960><c> eat.</c>

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.579
Where<00:26:54.740><c> is</c><00:26:54.799><c> she</c><00:26:54.960><c> going</c><00:26:55.099><c> to</c><00:26:55.319><c> go?</c>

00:26:55.579 --> 00:26:56.420
Isn't<00:26:55.579><c> that</c><00:26:56.119><c> funny?</c>

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:58.319
God<00:26:57.039><c> had</c><00:26:57.319><c> an</c><00:26:57.460><c> interest</c><00:26:57.759><c> in</c><00:26:58.000><c> that,</c>

00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:00.859
where<00:26:58.660><c> she</c><00:26:58.819><c> was</c><00:26:58.980><c> going</c><00:26:59.140><c> to</c><00:26:59.380><c> eat.</c>

00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.920
And<00:27:07.440><c> said</c><00:27:07.599><c> unto</c><00:27:07.799><c> the</c><00:27:07.960><c> reapers,</c>

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:11.200
The<00:27:09.640><c> Lord</c><00:27:09.960><c> be</c><00:27:10.220><c> with</c><00:27:10.500><c> you.</c>

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:12.559
And<00:27:11.700><c> they</c><00:27:11.779><c> answered</c><00:27:12.079><c> him,</c>

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.740
The<00:27:13.160><c> Lord</c><00:27:13.440><c> bless</c><00:27:13.779><c> thee.</c>

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:19.759
Now<00:27:15.500><c> those</c><00:27:15.700><c> of</c><00:27:15.920><c> you</c><00:27:16.420><c> that</c><00:27:16.799><c> have</c><00:27:17.279><c> people</c><00:27:17.660><c> that</c><00:27:17.900><c> work</c><00:27:18.059><c> for</c><00:27:18.259><c> you,</c>

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:24.099
that<00:27:20.579><c> strikes</c><00:27:20.920><c> deep</c><00:27:21.279><c> into</c><00:27:22.240><c> our</c><00:27:22.539><c> hearts,</c><00:27:22.819><c> doesn't</c><00:27:23.119><c> it?</c>

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:25.940
Because<00:27:24.700><c> look</c><00:27:24.980><c> at</c><00:27:25.140><c> the</c><00:27:25.500><c> integrity.</c>

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.180
Look<00:27:26.240><c> at</c><00:27:26.359><c> the</c><00:27:26.680><c> way</c><00:27:27.200><c> the</c><00:27:27.740><c> truth</c>

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:30.799
has<00:27:28.960><c> permeated</c><00:27:29.680><c> the</c><00:27:30.019><c> relationship</c>

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.279
between<00:27:31.759><c> the</c><00:27:32.200><c> man</c><00:27:32.400><c> and</c><00:27:32.519><c> his</c><00:27:32.839><c> employees.</c>

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.640
God<00:27:34.119><c> is</c><00:27:34.460><c> a</c><00:27:34.579><c> part</c><00:27:34.720><c> of</c><00:27:34.819><c> his</c><00:27:34.980><c> everyday</c><00:27:35.259><c> work.</c>

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:40.599
It<00:27:38.880><c> breaks</c><00:27:39.240><c> my</c><00:27:39.539><c> heart</c><00:27:39.720><c> that</c><00:27:39.859><c> he</c><00:27:40.000><c> isn't</c><00:27:40.220><c> always</c>

00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.460
a<00:27:40.720><c> part</c><00:27:40.759><c> of</c><00:27:40.940><c> my</c><00:27:41.160><c> everyday</c><00:27:41.460><c> work.</c>

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:45.039
But<00:27:43.420><c> he</c><00:27:43.519><c> must</c><00:27:43.819><c> be</c><00:27:43.980><c> for</c><00:27:44.119><c> all</c><00:27:44.359><c> of</c><00:27:44.480><c> us.</c>

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:47.779
He's<00:27:45.599><c> a</c><00:27:45.720><c> part</c><00:27:45.920><c> of</c><00:27:46.359><c> their</c><00:27:46.740><c> everyday</c><00:27:47.279><c> work.</c>

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:49.119
The<00:27:48.339><c> Lord</c><00:27:48.599><c> be</c><00:27:48.779><c> with</c><00:27:48.980><c> you.</c>

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:50.980
And<00:27:49.400><c> they</c><00:27:49.740><c> respond</c><00:27:50.180><c> in</c><00:27:50.519><c> kind.</c>

00:27:51.420 --> 00:27:53.099
Because<00:27:51.700><c> there's</c><00:27:52.000><c> a</c><00:27:52.140><c> natural</c><00:27:52.539><c> affection</c>

00:27:53.099 --> 00:27:54.960
that<00:27:53.500><c> these</c><00:27:53.880><c> employees</c><00:27:54.440><c> have</c>

00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.640
based<00:27:55.400><c> on</c><00:27:55.779><c> the</c><00:27:56.160><c> truth</c>

00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.960
for<00:27:57.259><c> the</c><00:27:57.440><c> man</c><00:27:57.619><c> that</c><00:27:58.519><c> is</c><00:27:58.759><c> their</c><00:27:58.940><c> master.</c>

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:01.180
And<00:28:00.500><c> they</c><00:28:00.599><c> answered</c><00:28:00.839><c> him,</c>

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.279
The<00:28:01.519><c> Lord</c><00:28:01.720><c> bless</c><00:28:02.039><c> thee.</c>

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.599
And<00:28:02.700><c> these</c><00:28:03.920><c> words,</c><00:28:04.500><c> these</c><00:28:04.680><c> very</c><00:28:04.980><c> words,</c>

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:09.640
attest<00:28:06.339><c> to</c><00:28:06.940><c> the</c><00:28:07.339><c> virtue</c><00:28:07.819><c> of</c><00:28:08.059><c> the</c><00:28:08.200><c> man's</c><00:28:08.680><c> character</c>

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:11.299
described<00:28:10.160><c> at</c><00:28:10.339><c> the</c><00:28:10.440><c> beginning</c><00:28:10.640><c> of</c><00:28:10.819><c> the</c><00:28:10.960><c> chapter.</c>

00:28:11.619 --> 00:28:12.859
Then<00:28:11.819><c> Boaz</c><00:28:12.000><c> said</c><00:28:12.180><c> unto</c><00:28:12.359><c> his</c><00:28:12.640><c> servant</c>

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:14.640
that<00:28:13.000><c> was</c><00:28:13.200><c> sat</c><00:28:13.380><c> over</c><00:28:13.599><c> the</c><00:28:13.740><c> reapers,</c>

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.140
Whose<00:28:15.680><c> damsel</c><00:28:16.119><c> is</c><00:28:16.279><c> this?</c>

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:18.700
Now<00:28:17.380><c> there</c><00:28:17.500><c> may</c><00:28:17.680><c> have</c><00:28:17.819><c> been</c><00:28:17.900><c> as</c><00:28:18.099><c> many</c><00:28:18.339><c> reapers</c>

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:21.099
as<00:28:18.900><c> there</c><00:28:19.140><c> are</c><00:28:19.539><c> of</c><00:28:19.700><c> you</c><00:28:19.799><c> sitting</c><00:28:20.079><c> down.</c>

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:24.279
But<00:28:21.619><c> he</c><00:28:22.099><c> spots</c><00:28:22.539><c> her</c><00:28:23.099><c> immediately.</c>

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.599
Who<00:28:24.799><c> is</c><00:28:25.140><c> that?</c>

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:27.839
Whose<00:28:26.319><c> damsel</c><00:28:26.740><c> is</c><00:28:27.000><c> this?</c>

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.480
Well,<00:28:28.400><c> a</c><00:28:28.539><c> woman</c><00:28:28.720><c> always</c><00:28:29.059><c> belonged</c><00:28:29.420><c> to</c><00:28:29.619><c> somebody.</c>

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:32.119
That's<00:28:31.599><c> the</c><00:28:31.660><c> way</c><00:28:31.799><c> it</c><00:28:31.940><c> was.</c>

00:28:32.539 --> 00:28:34.579
You<00:28:32.660><c> were</c><00:28:32.839><c> somebody's</c><00:28:33.460><c> daughter</c>

00:28:34.539 --> 00:28:37.079
or<00:28:34.900><c> you</c><00:28:35.000><c> were</c><00:28:35.240><c> somebody's</c><00:28:35.900><c> wife.</c>

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:39.880
Or<00:28:38.720><c> in</c><00:28:39.400><c> some</c><00:28:39.599><c> cases,</c>

00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:41.460
you<00:28:40.019><c> were</c><00:28:40.160><c> somebody's</c><00:28:41.039><c> mother</c>

or<00:28:41.839><c> somebody's</c><00:28:43.480><c> sister.</c>

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.200
But<00:28:45.079><c> always</c><00:28:45.480><c> it</c><00:28:46.099><c> was</c><00:28:46.460><c> a</c><00:28:46.859><c> family</c>

00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:48.779
to<00:28:47.380><c> which</c><00:28:47.519><c> you</c><00:28:47.700><c> belonged.</c>

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:51.859
Whose<00:28:50.160><c> damsel</c><00:28:50.640><c> is</c><00:28:50.980><c> she?</c>

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:52.740
And<00:28:52.420><c> he</c><00:28:52.519><c> says,</c>

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.039
It<00:28:52.900><c> is</c><00:28:53.099><c> the</c><00:28:53.240><c> more</c><00:28:53.480><c> bite</c><00:28:53.700><c>-ish</c><00:28:54.319><c> damsel</c>

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.759
that<00:28:55.500><c> came</c><00:28:55.799><c> back</c><00:28:56.160><c> with</c><00:28:56.460><c> Naomi</c>

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:58.619
out<00:28:57.000><c> of</c><00:28:57.140><c> the</c><00:28:57.220><c> country</c><00:28:57.539><c> of</c><00:28:57.779><c> Moab.</c>

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:02.740
Even<00:29:00.220><c> he</c><00:29:00.480><c> has</c><00:29:00.759><c> trouble</c><00:29:01.059><c> just</c><00:29:01.359><c> saying</c><00:29:01.559><c> it</c><00:29:01.819><c> simply.</c>

00:29:03.579 --> 00:29:04.420
Can't<00:29:03.779><c> he</c><00:29:03.900><c> have</c><00:29:04.079><c> said,</c>

00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:06.440
It's<00:29:04.819><c> the</c><00:29:04.960><c> woman</c><00:29:05.180><c> that</c><00:29:05.359><c> came</c><00:29:05.559><c> back</c><00:29:05.799><c> with</c><00:29:06.059><c> Naomi</c>

00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.779
out<00:29:07.140><c> of</c><00:29:07.279><c> the</c><00:29:07.380><c> country</c><00:29:07.740><c> of</c><00:29:07.960><c> Moab?</c>

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.119
You<00:29:09.319><c> see,</c><00:29:09.480><c> there's</c><00:29:09.680><c> a</c><00:29:09.839><c> tension</c><00:29:10.079><c> here.</c>

00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:14.779
There<00:29:12.420><c> was</c><00:29:12.960><c> a</c><00:29:13.259><c> built</c><00:29:13.640><c>-in</c><00:29:14.279><c> tension</c>

00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:15.839
between<00:29:15.160><c> the</c><00:29:15.380><c> races</c>

00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:20.240
because<00:29:17.180><c> of</c><00:29:17.420><c> what</c><00:29:17.839><c> Moab</c><00:29:18.099><c> had</c><00:29:18.440><c> done</c><00:29:18.779><c> to</c><00:29:19.119><c> Israel,</c>

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:21.799
because<00:29:20.539><c> of</c><00:29:20.740><c> Moab's</c><00:29:21.380><c> origin.</c>

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.400
There's<00:29:22.180><c> a</c><00:29:22.400><c> tension.</c>

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:25.500
There's<00:29:23.779><c> a</c><00:29:23.960><c> distrust</c><00:29:24.460><c> and</c><00:29:24.900><c> a</c><00:29:25.079><c> dislike</c>

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:27.339
and<00:29:26.059><c> an</c><00:29:26.279><c> incomprehension</c>

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.160
between<00:29:27.859><c> the</c><00:29:28.079><c> two</c><00:29:28.200><c> races.</c>

00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:31.859
So<00:29:30.099><c> this</c><00:29:30.519><c> idea,</c><00:29:31.019><c> she's</c><00:29:31.240><c> a</c><00:29:31.359><c> more</c><00:29:31.519><c> bite</c><00:29:31.740><c>-ish.</c>

00:29:32.019 --> 00:29:35.220
It<00:29:32.480><c> keeps</c><00:29:32.900><c> coming</c><00:29:33.240><c> up</c><00:29:33.779><c> throughout</c><00:29:34.140><c> the</c><00:29:34.299><c> book,</c>

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:38.240
which<00:29:37.180><c> attests</c><00:29:37.640><c> even</c><00:29:38.039><c> more</c>

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:40.319
to<00:29:38.400><c> the</c><00:29:38.539><c> quality</c><00:29:38.880><c> of</c><00:29:39.059><c> her</c><00:29:39.200><c> character,</c>

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:42.940
that<00:29:40.740><c> she</c><00:29:40.880><c> was</c><00:29:41.099><c> willing</c><00:29:41.339><c> to</c><00:29:41.740><c> break</c><00:29:41.960><c> through</c><00:29:42.160><c> all</c><00:29:42.380><c> of</c><00:29:42.559><c> that</c>

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:45.700
and<00:29:43.339><c> to</c><00:29:43.559><c> tolerate</c><00:29:44.240><c> all</c><00:29:44.599><c> of</c><00:29:44.779><c> that</c>

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:47.140
for<00:29:46.059><c> the</c><00:29:46.220><c> love</c><00:29:46.319><c> of</c><00:29:46.539><c> Israel's</c><00:29:46.940><c> God</c>

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:49.619
and<00:29:47.299><c> the</c><00:29:47.420><c> love</c><00:29:47.539><c> of</c><00:29:47.700><c> her</c><00:29:47.799><c> mother</c><00:29:48.039><c>-in</c><00:29:48.259><c>-law.</c>

00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:51.920
And<00:29:50.880><c> the</c><00:29:51.019><c> man</c><00:29:51.299><c> says,</c>

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.779
as<00:29:52.480><c> he</c><00:29:52.700><c> goes</c><00:29:52.940><c> on</c><00:29:53.259><c> speaking,</c><00:29:53.779><c> he</c><00:29:53.779><c> says,</c>

00:29:56.900 --> 00:29:58.619
So,<00:29:57.160><c> verse</c><00:29:57.599><c> 7,</c>

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.819
And<00:29:58.819><c> she</c><00:29:58.940><c> said,</c><00:29:59.279><c> I</c><00:29:59.380><c> pray</c><00:29:59.579><c> you,</c>

00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:00.980
let<00:30:00.079><c> me</c><00:30:00.259><c> glean</c><00:30:00.460><c> and</c><00:30:00.740><c> gather</c>

00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:02.819
after<00:30:01.539><c> the</c><00:30:01.740><c> reapers</c><00:30:01.980><c> among</c><00:30:02.259><c> the</c><00:30:02.480><c> sheaves.</c>

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:04.819
So<00:30:03.099><c> she</c><00:30:03.240><c> came,</c><00:30:04.019><c> and</c><00:30:04.099><c> hath</c><00:30:04.259><c> continued</c>

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:08.039
even<00:30:05.759><c> from</c><00:30:06.220><c> the</c><00:30:06.420><c> morning</c><00:30:06.640><c> until</c><00:30:06.940><c> now,</c>

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.359
save<00:30:08.480><c> that</c><00:30:08.640><c> she</c><00:30:08.900><c> tarried</c><00:30:09.160><c> a</c><00:30:09.299><c> little</c><00:30:09.539><c> while</c><00:30:09.680><c> in</c><00:30:09.859><c> the</c><00:30:09.980><c> house.</c>

00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:14.019
So<00:30:11.099><c> they've</c><00:30:11.259><c> been</c><00:30:11.559><c> watching</c><00:30:12.619><c> her</c><00:30:13.039><c> every</c><00:30:13.500><c> move</c>

00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:16.019
as<00:30:14.420><c> she's</c><00:30:14.700><c> out</c><00:30:14.799><c> in</c><00:30:14.940><c> the</c><00:30:15.099><c> field,</c>

00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:18.680
and<00:30:16.259><c> she's</c><00:30:16.420><c> been</c><00:30:16.660><c> out</c><00:30:16.920><c> there</c><00:30:17.220><c> all</c><00:30:17.559><c> day</c><00:30:17.799><c> long.</c>

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.420
She<00:30:18.859><c> only</c><00:30:19.599><c> rested</c><00:30:20.059><c> a</c><00:30:20.559><c> little.</c>

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:22.500
They<00:30:21.980><c> watched</c><00:30:22.259><c> her.</c>

00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:24.099
What<00:30:22.660><c> we're</c><00:30:22.880><c> doing</c><00:30:23.039><c> in</c><00:30:23.240><c> life,</c><00:30:23.559><c> everybody</c><00:30:23.779><c> watches.</c>

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:26.539
Doesn't<00:30:24.420><c> matter</c><00:30:24.559><c> what</c><00:30:24.759><c> age</c><00:30:24.900><c> we</c><00:30:25.119><c> are,</c><00:30:25.259><c> old</c><00:30:25.420><c> or</c><00:30:25.660><c> young,</c>

00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.779
whatever<00:30:27.119><c> we</c><00:30:27.359><c> are</c><00:30:27.559><c> doing,</c>

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:30.119
we<00:30:28.019><c> are</c><00:30:28.200><c> being</c><00:30:28.519><c> watched</c><00:30:28.900><c> by</c><00:30:29.220><c> someone.</c>

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:31.440
In<00:30:30.740><c> a</c><00:30:30.900><c> positive</c><00:30:31.200><c> sense,</c>

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.380
we<00:30:31.660><c> can't</c><00:30:31.960><c> think</c><00:30:32.059><c> that</c><00:30:32.160><c> we're</c><00:30:32.240><c> being</c><00:30:32.500><c> spied</c><00:30:32.900><c> on,</c>

00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:35.220
but<00:30:33.700><c> we're</c><00:30:33.819><c> being</c><00:30:34.000><c> observed.</c>

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:38.079
And<00:30:35.500><c> what</c><00:30:35.599><c> we</c><00:30:35.839><c> do</c><00:30:36.319><c> and</c><00:30:36.960><c> the</c><00:30:37.079><c> decisions</c><00:30:37.420><c> we</c><00:30:37.680><c> make</c>

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.720
will<00:30:38.500><c> affect</c><00:30:38.859><c> other</c><00:30:39.099><c> people's</c><00:30:39.660><c> decisions.</c>

00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.480
The<00:30:41.279><c> older</c><00:30:41.700><c> and</c><00:30:41.900><c> the</c><00:30:41.980><c> more</c><00:30:42.140><c> mature</c><00:30:42.539><c> in</c><00:30:42.759><c> years</c><00:30:42.880><c> we</c><00:30:43.019><c> are</c><00:30:43.160><c> in</c><00:30:43.299><c> the</c><00:30:43.559><c> truth,</c>

the<00:30:44.700><c> more</c><00:30:45.220><c> fundamentally</c><00:30:45.960><c> important</c>

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:26.400

00:31:42.619 --> 00:31:43.940
This<00:31:42.799><c> is</c><00:31:42.920><c> what</c><00:31:43.019><c> the</c><00:31:43.160><c> young</c><00:31:43.299><c> people</c><00:31:43.619><c> think.</c>

00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:45.799
So<00:31:44.440><c> they</c><00:31:44.539><c> don't</c><00:31:44.759><c> want</c><00:31:44.940><c> to</c><00:31:45.059><c> come</c><00:31:45.200><c> to</c><00:31:45.319><c> Bible</c><00:31:45.519><c> class,</c>

But<00:31:51.940><c> that's</c><00:31:52.240><c> not</c><00:31:52.400><c> the</c><00:31:52.539><c> attitude</c><00:31:52.779><c> of</c><00:31:52.960><c> this</c><00:31:53.140><c> young</c><00:31:53.359><c> woman.</c>

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:01.839
She<00:32:00.759><c> could</c><00:32:00.960><c> have</c><00:32:01.220><c> said</c><00:32:01.440><c> to</c><00:32:01.640><c> Naomi,</c>

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.599
She<00:32:08.720><c> could</c><00:32:08.900><c> have</c><00:32:09.019><c> said</c><00:32:09.220><c> to</c><00:32:09.299><c> her,</c>

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.779
She<00:32:15.240><c> didn't</c><00:32:15.400><c> do</c><00:32:15.640><c> that.</c>

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.200
She<00:32:15.920><c> said,</c><00:32:16.119><c> you</c><00:32:16.720><c> stay</c><00:32:17.339><c> here,</c><00:32:18.099><c> Mom,</c>

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:27.599
So<00:32:24.079><c> she's</c><00:32:24.319><c> out</c><00:32:24.440><c> in</c><00:32:24.519><c> the</c><00:32:24.700><c> hot</c><00:32:24.940><c> sun,</c><00:32:25.480><c> this</c><00:32:26.500><c> young</c><00:32:27.079><c> woman,</c>

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:49.299
If<00:32:48.259><c> everyone</c><00:32:48.619><c> was</c><00:32:48.880><c> a</c><00:32:49.079><c> Ruth,</c>

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:22.000
So<00:37:20.179><c> there</c><00:37:20.519><c> we</c><00:37:20.639><c> have</c><00:37:20.880><c> a</c><00:37:21.019><c> choice</c><00:37:21.340><c> to</c><00:37:21.579><c> make.</c>

It<00:37:26.920><c> was</c><00:37:27.239><c> because</c><00:37:27.659><c> of</c><00:37:27.880><c> Naomi's</c><00:37:28.480><c> faith</c>

And<00:37:40.820><c> so</c><00:37:41.019><c> Ruth</c><00:37:41.500><c> learned</c><00:37:41.960><c> from</c><00:37:42.280><c> Naomi,</c>
