This gleaning system is part-and-parcel of the welcoming environment.  Come obey our laws, and we will share in our abundance.

In God’s providence, Ruth goes out sort-of randomly to glean for her living and she ends up in a favorable situation with manly, righteous, rich Boaz who ends up being, as we’ll see a kinsman redeemer.

Ruth was the treasure in the field.  God sold all that He had.  God died on the cross—to buy Ruth. 

I am a camel.  God made me a thread.  I don’t understand it, but there you have it.
