There is a particle of rumour that the search for truth and credibility is a continuum ... that goes on towards eternity in a state based on lies ... fallacy of logos? Few realist admire the journey of those going there ... thus false journaling in their I'z?

Stand-up deals in the forest Gump ... rotten ethos as depressing? Imagine the definition of Gump is mist by most in our illiteracy ... literacy twist? Helical Jack ... Eris Eire ...

Imagine an essence of lover learning something ... mighty chondral matter is knotty ... may appear in the cursed tree of knowledge ... as a mire shadow! Incarnates in the depth of night ...

Is night a portal into something that is incredibly something else? It is all between you and the dark mystery ... connections, communications and intercourse with many pseudonyms for those that would never admit to some functions that they consider lesser ... Gumps? Sometimes a Gamma as an ump ... the ancient mother myth? It befell us ... to dig ...

And we plough on searching for what matters ... in the credible conspiracy ... the Bourne Conspiracy by a Ludlum? Alien intelligence myth ...

Pray for Heir Rising ...

Well here is why people think feet in the Old testament is sometimes used as a sexual sign ---

euphemism is used -----like feet which means ---from Strong" Concordance -----lift the foot, i.e. make a movement, do anything; Ezekiel 16:25------so for instance in Ezekiel 16 it talks about this -----

Jerusalem as an Adulterous Wife​

verse 25 uses feet in some Bibles and legs in others ------the Hebrew word regel is used for both legs and feet here ---as you will see ------



Context from Berean Study bible

Jerusalem's Unfaithfulness
…24you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
25At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.
26You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.…


Ezekiel 16 verse 25 here are different versions using feet and legs

New International Version
At every street corner you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.

King James Bible
Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

American Standard Version
Thou hast built thy lofty place at the head of every way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.


So lets look up the Hebrew word for legs --in this Scripture -----it means feet ---- legs

Strong's Concordance ----
regel: foot --legs

accompany* (1), after (1), attended* (1), feet (139), follow (2), followed (2), following (1), foot (60), footstep* (1), footsteps (1), footstool* (6), four-footed* (1), haunt (1), heels (1), hoof* (1), journey (1), legs (5), pace (2), relieve* (1), relieving* (1), step (1), steps (2), swift-footed* (1), times (4), toes* (2), turned (1)

So with Ruth and Boaz ---Ruth did not open any feet to Boaz ---and Boaz did not open his feet to Ruth ---so I think there isn't any sexual meaning here folks ------.just saying -----
 
Whatever the sexual connotations of feet may be, the point of the story is that Ruth, a Moabite woman, is in the ancestry of David (and by New Testament claims, of Jesus). King David was not pur laine, as the saying goes. Foreign blood came from his ancestry, and ran through his veins. That would have been a scandal to some who first heard the story.
 
Redbaron ----your on a rant ----you said --- King David was not pur laine, as the saying goes.

I say ---you can say that King David was not of pure wool ----but in God's eyes the clan of Judah was pure wool and God is the only one who matters here ---His plan played out the way He wanted ====and He wanted His Son to come from the Judah Clan not the Levi Clan ----

Redbaron ---you said ----the point of the story is that Ruth, a Moabite woman, is in the ancestry of David------Foreign blood came from his ancestry, and ran through his veins. That would have been a scandal to some who first heard the story.

I say ----this shows your ignorance of understanding God and how in God's eyes there is no Jew or Gentile --male or female God looks at the person's heart not their status ---and Ruth was a very Faithful Godly person who left her Clan to follow the God Naomi followed ------ ------and so David who came from God's pure wool line was of the right line for God's plan to work out ---

God doesn't create bad wool there Redbaron ---you might think He does ---but that is just you thinking He does -----

-Ruth left her old life behind for God's sake ----not her own sake

Ruth was pure wool in God's eyes -----it had nothing to do with the blood that ran through her veins ---it had everything to do with God opening up Ruth's heart to know and trust Him and He used Naomi to bring her to the land He Wanted to complete His Plan for His Son to come through Judah ----not from the Levi clan -----


Jesus said this in scripture below ----posting here and giving different versions to show all give the same message -no matter what Bible you use Folks -----
MATTHEW 19:29

ERV
Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or farms to follow me will get much more than they left. And they will have eternal life.
ASV
And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.
AMP
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

I say
Anyone who came to God in the Old Testament was one with God--- and anyone coming to Jesus today is one with Christ ---who is God ------
 
Facts are facts. Deal with reality.

And speaking of rants and raves? Look inward, angel.
 
Unsafe, the story was written for Jews who returned from exile in Babylon. The scandal was in the minds of those Jews, not God's mind. It was written at a time when some Jewish leaders wanted the men to divorce wives who were Babylonian and abandon them in the name of preserving the purity of the Jewish race.

The Bible was not created just for the benefit Of Christians.
 
jimkenney12 ----you can see the Bible as you like ---that is your right ---

The Bible is a Book of instructions for all people to come to God not just the Jews -----it is a Book of how to be Saved ---that is the whole theme of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation ---God's plan to bring about Salvation to His lost Creation -----through the coming of His son Jesus Christ ------God had a plan and that plan is still being played out and Ruth was a part of that plan -----

The Old Testament foreshadows the coming of the Messiah to Save God's Creation ----and the New Testament is the the reality of what the Old Testament foreshadowed -------

And by the way Salvation is for the here and now -------there are no second chances when you die -----

HEBREWS 9:27
KJ21
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment,
ASV
And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;
AMP
And just as it is appointed and destined for all men to die once and after this [comes certain] judgment,

I say ----All up to us to decide to accept or reject what the Old and New Testaments is about -----
 
Another fact about the book of Ruth. The Festival of Shavuot (May 16-18th, this year), commemorates a couple of things: i) the giving of the law to Moses, and ii) the death date of King David. Because of the association of the person Ruth as a ancestress of David, the Book of Ruth is read in the synagogue during the morning services of this festival.
