The loved and unloved woman

 Preface:

The following note explores the biblical narrative of Jacob’s wives, Leah and Rachel, and their sons, focusing on the themes of love, rejection, and the inheritance of the firstborn blessing as outlined in the Torah. It delves into the dynamics of Jacob’s preference for Rachel over Leah, the divine intervention in their lives, and the subsequent transfer of the birthright from Reuben to Joseph. The text further examines the prophetic significance of names, the fulfillment of Torah provisions, and the ultimate redemption of YasharEL through Yahusha , who is portrayed as both the sacrificial Lamb and the Husband of His people. This analysis weaves together scriptural references, Hebrew word meanings, and theological insights to present a deeper understanding of the “loved and unloved woman” in the context of Elohim’s covenantal plan.

Gen 29:31  And יהוה saw that Lě’ah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Raḥěl was barren.

Gen 29:32  And Lě’ah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Re’uḇěn, for she said, “For יהוה has looked on my affliction, because now my husband is going to love me.”

Yaaqob loved Rachel more than Leah and when Yahuah saw it, He opened Leah’s womb to give  Yaaqob and her the firstborn son to whom was the birthright. Reuben was born and in Hebrew Reuben means ‘See a son’

Yahuah in written Torah made this provision for the first born inheritance

Deu 21:15  “When a man has two wives, one loved and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved, and the first-born son is of her who is unloved,

Deu 21:16  then it shall be, on the day he makes his sons to inherit his possessions, he is not allowed to treat the son of the beloved wife as first-born in the face of the son of the unloved, who is truly the first-born.

Deu 21:17  “But he is to acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the first-born by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength – the right of the first-born is his.

Since Yaaqob loved Rachel more than Leah, the firstborn son of Rachel was Yoseph and the lot of inheritance may have fallen to him as a loved wife from Yaaqob. 

But it fell as a lot to Yoseph from Yahuah as Reuben lost his birthright as he went into Bilhah, Yaaqob’s concubine and laid down with her. Yaaqob was saved in a dilemma of a loved son (Yoseph) for whom he made robe of many colors and Reuben, his firstborn from Leah who was his unloved wife.

1Ch 5:1   As for the sons of Re’uḇěn the first-born of Yisra’ěl – he was the first-born, but because he profaned his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosěph, son of Yisra’ěl, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright,

1Ch 5:2  for Yehuḏah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Yosěph’s.

Yoseph in Hebrew means ‘He will add’ and hence he received a double portion berekah (blessing)

Gen 48:21  And Yisra’ěl said to Yosěph, “See, I am dying, but Elohim shall be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.

Gen 48:22  “And I, I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”

Deu 21:17  “But he is to acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the first-born by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength – the right of the first-born is his.

Rachel רחל in Hebrew means ‘to journey’ as the root word ‘rach רח ׳ ‘ which means ‘travel or journey’ 

Chal חל in Hebrew means ‘to take effect’ 

In some contexts, “חל” is related to “חול” (chol), meaning something non-sacred or ordinary, as opposed to holy (קדוש).

Rachel רחל also means ‘Ewe’ which is a female sheep. 

The name shows her death in not being able to journey and is prophetic in her name.

Rachel died while giving birth to her second son, Binyamin (Benjamin), as Yaaqob and his family were traveling from Bethel to Ephrath (which is later identified as Bethlehem).

Gen 35:16  Then they set out from Běyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥěl began to give birth, and had great difficulty giving birth.

Gen 35:17  And it came to be, as she was having great difficulty giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for it is another son for you.”

Gen 35:18  And it came to be, as her life was going out – for she died – that she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him Binyamin. 

Gen 35:19  So Raḥěl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, that is Běyth Leḥem.

Gen 35:20  And Ya‛aqoḇ set a standing column on her burial-place, which is the monument of Raḥěl’s burial-place to this day.

Her name shows while her journey/ rach רח was to take effect/chal חל it turned out to be common/non sacred as opposed to qadosh which means set-apart or holy. חל is related to chol חול which means common/non sacred. 

The one that was loved above Leah couldn’t make it to Bayt Lacham or Ephrath where Ephrath means ash heap or a place of fruitfulness and that’s why she may have named her son Ben Oni which means Son of my sorrow. Yaaqob renamed him as Binyamin which means son of the right hand. 

Leah לאה  H3812 means weary or be grieved or be offended (from H3811) and she was unloved by Yaaqob and was given to him in deceit by Laban her father instead of Rachel.

Leah, Yaaqob’s first wife, had six sons, who later became the ancestors of six of the Twelve Tribes of YasharEL . Their names and meanings are:

 1. Reuben (רְאוּבֵן) – “See, a son!” (Genesis 29:32) – Leah named him this, saying, “Yahuah has seen my affliction; now my husband will love me.”

 2. Simeon (שִׁמְעוֹן) – “He has heard” (Genesis 29:33) – Leah said, “Because Yahuah has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son too.”

 3. Levi (לֵוִי) – “Attached” (Genesis 29:34) – Leah hoped, “Now my husband will be attached to me, for I have borne him three sons.” The Levites later became the priestly tribe.

 4. Yahudah (יְהוּדָה) – “Praise” (Genesis 29:35) – Leah declared, “This time I will praise Yahuah” 

 5. Yissachar (יִשָּׂשכָר) – “Reward” or “Wages” (Genesis 30:18) – Leah said, “Elohim has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband.”

 6. Zebulun (זְבוּלֻן) – “Honor” or “Dwelling” (Genesis 30:20) – Leah hoped, “Now my husband will honor me, for I have borne him six sons.”

In each of her direct sons being born Leah gave an indication of her being unloved by Yaaqob.

The name Rachel רחל H7354 and means ewe (female sheep) comes from a similar root H7353 rachel רחל and its usage is unique in YashaYahu (Isaiah) 53:7 which says 

Isa 53:7  He was oppressed and He was afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as an EWE/ rachel רחל H7353 before its shearers is silent, but He did not open His mouth. 

Yahusha is prophetically likened to a Lamb led to the slaughter (killing of the lamb) and as a ewe (female sheep) is silent before its shearers (ones who shave off the wool).

The EWE silenced before its shearers …He did not open His mouth 

If we understand Torah, it’s so amazing 

Num 30:6  “But if she at all belongs to a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself,

Num 30:7  and her husband hears it, and he has kept silent towards her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself do stand. 

Num 30:8  “But if her husband forbids her on the day that he hears it, then he has nullified her vow which she vowed, and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound herself, and יהוה pardons her.

Num 30:9  “But any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, stands against her.

Num 30:10  “And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath,

Num 30:11  and her husband heard it, and has kept silent towards her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself stands. 

Num 30:12  “But if her husband clearly nullified them on the day he heard them, then whatever came from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it does not stand – her husband has nullified them, and יהוה pardons her.

A divorced woman’s vows made stand (remember Yahuah gave YasharEL a certificate of divorce YarmeYahu/Jeremiah 3:8) but it says if she made those vows in her husband’s house (Num 30:10-11) and her husband heard her and kept silent and did not forbid her then those vows stand but if he nullified those vows or the agreement that bound her (Num 30:12) when he heard them then it doesn’t stand as the husband nullified them and Yahuah forgives her.

The word translated as nullified is the repetitive word in the text parar פרר H6565 

The verse should read as 

Num 30:12  “But if her husband utterly ( parar פרר H6565) voided (parar פרר H6565) them on את H853 the day he heard them, then whatever came from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it does not stand – her husband has nullified them, and יהוה pardons her. 

The word parar פרר had the root word par פר H6499 which means bull, calf, oxen

There is a marker alaph tau את H853 placed before ‘the day’ and is significant of the 2 bulls or calf’s offered one in the morning and one in between the evening daily which Yahusha fulfilled on the stake as there was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour to the ninth hour (12pm to 3pm) and he was impaled at the 3rd hour (around 9am) 

Mrk 15:25  And it was the third hour, and they impaled Him. 

Mat 27:45  And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. 

Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”

Parar means utterly break, the vows the divorced woman or the widow ie. YasharEL made was in her husband’s house as she entered into blessings and curses (Deut 28) 

Deu 11:29  And it shall be, when יהוה your Elohim has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ěyḇal. 

Jos 8:33  And all Yisra’ěl – the sojourner as well as the native – with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Lěwites, who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ěyḇal, as Mosheh the servant of יהוה had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Yisra’ěl.

Jos 8:34  And afterward he read all the words of the Torah, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Torah. 

Jos 8:35  There was not a word of all that Mosheh had commanded which Yehoshua did not read before all the assembly of Yisra’ěl, with the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who accompanied them.

YashaYahu 53:7  as an EWE before its shearers, He did not open His mouth which shows He silenced the mouth of oaths in Himself as He became a curse for us. He stood as the breastplate of judgement of YasharEL’s vows made while in the house of the husband Yahuah and utterly voided her vows.

Gal 3:13  Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, having become a curse for us – for it has been written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs upon a tree.” – Deu 21:23. 

Col 2:14  having blotted out that which was written by hand against us – by the dogmas – which stood against us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the stake. 

By His death, for time being He made her a widow so that she could remarry the one who rose from the dead ie. Himself 

Rom 7:3  So then, while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she becomes another man’s. But if her husband dies, she is free from that part of the Torah, so that she is not an adulteress, having become another man’s.

Rom 7:4  So my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of Messiah, for you to become another’s, the One who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to Elohim.

Remember, the marriage supper of the Lamb is when we actually are bethroed to Him as His bride though spiritually we are His bride on the basis of the surety of the renewed Covenant.

Rev 19:7  “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself.”

Rev 19:8  And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the set-apart ones. 

Rev 19:9  And he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true words of Elohim.

Mystery Babylon doesn’t acknowledge the transition from Torah of sin and death to Torah of life with an interim of widowhood as she says “I am no widow but sit as a queen”

Rev 18:7  “As much as she esteemed herself and lived riotously, so much torture and grief give to her, because in her heart she says, ‘I sit as sovereigness, and I am not a widow, and I do not see mourning at all.’ 

The true elect are in mourning as a widow waiting for her kinsman redeemer Yahusha who will be her husband forever.

In conclusion the unloved and loved are two facets of the woman’s identity in Torah where Torah makes provision for her and her seed’s redemption with a firstborn berekah and the woman becomes One in her true love Yahusha portrayed as her Husband as well as the Seed which sprang from her to give her remainder seed the firstborn berekah/blessing.

Yahudah was Leah’s son and He prevailed over his brothers but the birthright was Yospeh’s, Rachel’s son.

Yahuah brought Boaz (an Ephrathite as well as a Yahudite) to kinsman redeem Ruth (a former Reubenite who had lost his birthright), now an Ephrathite as she was a childless widow of Machlon the Ephrathite and their great grandson David of Yishai of Obed became a type of the Malchitsedek priest to whom the eternal rule was promised in Mashiyach Yahusha who would spring forth as the Promised Malchitsedek Priest, the tribe Moshe never spoke of the coming of this priesthood. 

1Sa 17:12  Now Dawiḏ was the son of that Ephrathite of Běyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, whose name was Yishai, and he had eight sons, and in the days of Sha’ul the man was old among men. 

Rut 4:21  And Salmon brought forth Bo‛az, and Bo‛az brought forth Oḇěḏ.

Rut 4:22  And Oḇěḏ brought forth Yishai, and Yishai brought forth Dawiḏ.

Heb 7:14  For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yehuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood,

Heb 7:15  and this is clearer still, if another priest arises in the likeness of Malkitseḏeq,

Reuben ראובן - See a son:

Gen 35:22  And it came to be, when Yisra’ěl dwelt in that land, that Re’uḇěn went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine. And Yisra’ěl heard about it. Now the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ were twelve: 

Bilhah בלהה H1090 means troubled and has root words bal בל and balah בלה H1086 which means ‘waste, wear out, wax old & balah בלה H1089 which means trouble. 

Reuben ראובן ‘See a son’ went into waste or nothingness as bal בל also means nothingness.

Lev 18:8  The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 

The basarah is concealed in this. 

Amo 2:7  …. And a man and his father go in to the same girl, to defile My set-apart Name. 

Deu 22:30  “A man does not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s robe. 

Torah forbids for a father or son to marry the same girl. With Reuben ראובן going into Bilhah, a severe curse came upon him and his lineage and hence, this curse had to be broken by Mashiyach because the birthright was not listed through Reuben but Yoseph (יוסף) which means He will add. Reuben’s double portion went to Yoseph. 

Deu 27:20  Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s bed.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Aměn!’ 

How was this curse broken? This is a dark say and I pray reader understands this. 

From a first blush sight we see Yahusha marry the same bride which was the Father’s bride as Yahuah said He is the husband and maker of YasharEL.

Isa 54:5  “For your Maker is your husband, יהוה of hosts is His Name, and the Set-apart One of Yisra’ěl is your Redeemer. He is called the Elohim of all the earth. 

The word translated as husband here is the Hebrew word baal בעל H1166 which has the root words bal בל which means nothingness or waste and al על means ‘ascend’. The word also means ‘lord or ruler or master and also means ‘marry’ 

The verse makes more sense when written as

Isa 54:5  “For your Maker is your married one (baaliak, בעליך ) Yahuah of hosts is His Name, and the Set-apart One of Yisra’ěl is your Redeemer. He is called the Elohim of all the earth. 

Hos 2:16  “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My Husband,( ishi אישי H376) ’ and no longer call Me ‘My Ba‛al (baali בעלי H1180)’ -my married one. 

Hos 2:17  “And I shall remove the names of the Ba‛als from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. 

The word ishi אישי which is translated as ‘my husband’ is more appropriately translated as ‘my man’ 

The word Baali בעלי which is translated as ‘my husband’ and should be correctly translated as ‘my married one’ shows that YasharEL once divorced wouldn’t be able to reach Him as bal בל means ‘waste or nothingness’ and al על means ‘ascend’. This means their ascension to Him wouldn’t be possible. Hence, Yahuah renames His title as ishi אישי which means ‘my man’ ie. Referring Himself as her husband in a human form. Moreover, the word ishah אשה H802 is rooted in ishi אישי with an element of fire אש pointing to the burnt offering of Himself on the altar ie. The stake. While in YashaYahu 54:5 he says “For your Maker is your married one…” He says in Hoshea 2:16-17 that He will make YasharEL forget the name of Baal בעל and she would call Him “My man אישי “ 

Coz now she needn’t vainly try to reach Him, He would come in the human form as ‘her man’ and in Him she will ascend in the fire element אש of the slaughter place.

Now here is the dark say: The Son went up to the Father’s bed without breaking Torah as He is the Everlasting Father’ and unless one sees this truth his conscience will be defiled by seeing Reuben ראובן going into his fathers bed into nothingness or waste as he lost his birthright. 

Yahusha is able to deliberately lose His birthright to YasharEL when He came as the Son to marry the divorced wife by His Fatherhood.

Eph 5:30  Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 

Eph 5:31  “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Gen 2:24.

Eph 5:32  This secret is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly.

Rom 7:3  So then, while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she becomes another man’s. But if her husband dies, she is free from that part of the Torah, so that she is not an adulteress, having become another man’s.

Rom 7:4  So my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of Messiah, for you to become another’s, the One who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to Elohim.

Yoseph יוסף means ‘He will add’ and He added His portion to YasharEL making it a double portion and divorced YasharEL was unloved which He made her His Beloved and Only Bethroed Wife.

Summary:

The note begins with the story of Leah, the unloved wife of Jacob, whom Elohim blesses with fertility, granting her Reuben, the firstborn son, meaning “See, a son.” Despite Jacob’s greater love for Rachel, Torah law (Deuteronomy 21:15-17) ensures the firstborn’s rights belong to Reuben, not Joseph, Rachel’s son. However, Reuben forfeits his birthright by sleeping with Bilhah, Jacob’s concubine, leading to its transfer to Joseph, whose name (“He will add”) signifies his double portion inheritance. Rachel, meaning “ewe” and “journey,” dies giving birth to Benjamin, her journey ending in sorrow, while Leah, meaning “weary,” bears six sons who become tribal ancestors. The narrative extends to Yahusha, likened to the silent “ewe” of Isaiah 53:7, who redeems Israel by nullifying her curses under the Torah as her Husband, fulfilling the role of kinsman-redeemer. Through His death and resurrection, Yahusha transitions YasharEL from a state of widowhood to betrothal, uniting the “loved” and “unloved” facets of her identity in a renewed covenant, with the birthright ultimately pointing to His eternal priesthood and kingship through Judah and Joseph’s lines.

Unto us a Child is born & Son given

 Preface

The following note explores the profound messianic prophecy of Isaiah 9:6, delving into the Hebrew text and its rich linguistic, theological, and scriptural layers. It examines the titles and descriptions of the promised Child and Son, connecting them to broader biblical themes of divine identity, authority, and redemption. Through detailed word studies and cross-references, the note seeks to illuminate the significance of this verse in revealing the nature and purpose of the One who bears these names, understood as Yahusha in a messianic context. The analysis bridges Old and New Testament passages to present a cohesive portrait of this figure as both divine and human, eternal and present, fulfilling the promises of Elohim to His people.

Isa 9:6  For a Child is born unto us, a Son is given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong Ěl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.

Child ילד H3206 yeled : child, son, boy, offspring, youth 

born ילד H3205 yulad : beget, born, bear, bring forth

“Yeled yulad” is primarily a pleonasm (redundant expression) with undertones of paronomasia (wordplay) due to the root repetition and sound similarity. Its figurative nature depends on how it’s used—most naturally, it emphasizes birth through tautology (saying the same thing twice in different ways), with a mild pun-like flavor.

nathan נתן H5414 which means give, appoint, set, bestow, dedicate, exchange, commit, entrust etc 

Unto us yeled yulad (Child born as a redundant expression with a root repetition shows us the children brought forth through Him being born through the redeemed womb).

 The Son is given/set/appointed/bestowed unto us through whom we receive sonship.

The Son’s Name was a mystery in the Old Testament and usually was given a title against His identity 

Pro 30:4  Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, And what is His Son’s Name, If you know it? 

Jdg 13:17  Then Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה, “What is Your name? When Your words come true, then we shall esteem You.”

Jdg 13:18  And the Messenger of יהוה said to him, “Why do you ask My name, since it is wondrous/palay פלאי H6383?”

The first title His name showing His identity is in YashaYahu/Isaiah 9:6 translated as Wonder and is the same title the Messenger of Yahuah used to tell Manoah of whom Manoah said that they would surely die for they have seen Elohim.

Jdg 13:21  And the Messenger of יהוה did not appear any more to Manowaḥ and his wife. Then Manowaḥ knew that He was a Messenger of יהוה.

Jdg 13:22  And Manowaḥ said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, because we have seen Elohim!”

YashaYahu 9:6 Wonder פלא H6382 

H6382 and H6383 are closely related and actually mean the same as ‘wonder/secret’

Counsellor : yaats יעץ H3289 to advise, consult, give counsel, counsel, purpose, devise, plan 

The word is used for counsellor’s in kings court and the kings in OT used to consult these counsellors on important matters. However, the counsel finds its completion in the purpose of Yahuah as His counsel/purpose stands even in actions of men to bless or make them fruitful or destroy them and no one can annul His counsel or purpose.

Isa 14:26  “This is the counsel that is counselled/ yaats יעץ H3289 for all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

Isa 14:27  “For יהוה of hosts has counselled/yaats יעץ H3289, and who annuls it? And His hand that is stretched out, who turns it back?”

EL Gibbor : EL אל H410 short form for Elohim

Gibbor : גבר H1368 -mighty /chief/champion/warrior/valiant man 

The title Gibbor גבר is used along with Elohim and describes who the named one is

Deu 10:17  “For יהוה your Elohim is Elohim אלוהים H430 of elohim אלוהים H430 and Master/Adon אדון H113 of masters/adoniym אדונים , the great Ěl, mighty/gibbor גבר H1368 and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 

אדון ה אדונים (Adon ha adoniym) is a title attributed to Yahusha as stated in Rev 19:16

Rev 19:16  And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS AND MASTER OF MASTERS. 

Elohiym אלוהים is a title attributed to Yahusha 

Heb 1:8  But to the Son He says, “Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and ever, a sceptre of straightness is the sceptre of Your reign.

Everlasting Father:

Everlasting יעד H5703 means perpetual/forever/of continuous existence since past 

It has root word ad עד which means a repeat witness

Father : AB אב H1 

If His name bears his existence as Father as from past to continuous existence, we can understand that the Son is the face of the Father facing creation and is coterminous with the Father and is inseparable as the substance is the same. It’s just two facets of the same Elohim in two realms as Father and Son.

Heb 2:13  And again, “I shall put My trust in Him.” And again, “See, I and the children whom Elohim gave Me.” 

Heb 2:13 can be understood in its entire context when we read YashaYahu 8:17-18

Isa 8:17  And I shall wait /chakah   חכה H2442 on יהוה, who hides His face from the house of Ya‛aqoḇ. And I shall look for Him.

Isa 8:18  Look, I and the children whom יהוה has given me – for signs and wonders in Yisra’ěl from יהוה of hosts, who dwells in Mount Tsiyon.

Chakah חכה H2442 means tarry/wait for long and has the root word chak חך which means palate (the tongue rolls on the palate)

Psa 137:5  If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, Let my right hand forget.

Psa 137:6  Let my tongue cleave to my palate/ chak חך H2441, If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Yerushalayim Above my chief joy.

YashaYahu /Isaiah 8:17 is referring to Yahuah who has hidden His face from Yaaqob ie. YasharEL but He would be sought out or looked out for.

Yahusha is the YasharEL of Elohim who came as the Son to give back the Sonship to YasharEL who had lost his birthright.

As a result the One who would place the trust back in Him and would look for Him is an angle of His facet in creation on behalf of YasharEL.

Isa 8:18  Look, I and the children whom יהוה has given me – for signs and wonders in Yisra’ěl from יהוה of hosts, who dwells in Mount Tsiyon. 

Hence, the children given to Him by Yahuah is Yahuah coz there can’t be two Fathers and it’s in the face of the Son the Fatherhood is realized for signs and wonders in YasharEL. Two facets of the same Elohim in different roles

Jhn 14:8  Philip said to Him, “Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

Jhn 14:9  יהושע said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Jhn 14:10  “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself. But the Father who stays in Me does His works.

Prince of Peace:

Prince: sar סר H8269 

prince, ruler, leader, chief, chieftain, official, captain 

Jos 5:13  And it came to be, when Yahushua was by Yeriḥo, that he lifted his eyes and looked and saw a Man standing opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Yahushua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

Jos 5:14  And He said, “No, for I have now come as Captain/sar סר H8269 of the host of יהוה.” And Yahushua fell on his face to the earth and did obeisance, and said to Him, “What is my Master/Adon אדון H113 saying to His servant?”

Jos 5:15  And the Captain/sar סר H8269 of the host of יהוה said to Yahushua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is set-apart.” And Yahushua did so

The Prince title refers to Yahusha who is the Adon and leads the armies of Elohim.

Rev 19:14  And the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 

Shalum: שלום H7965 completeness, soundness, welfare, peace, welfare, health, prosperity 

Shalum is related to priestly blessing Numbers 6:24-26 

In verse 26 it says יהוה lift up His face towards you, and give you peace/shalum שלום H7965.” ’ 

Num 6:26  ישׂא יהוה פניו אליך וישׂם לך שׁלום׃

Jdg 6:22  And when Giḏ‛on saw that He was a Messenger of יהוה, Giḏ‛on said, “Oh Master יהוה! For I have seen a Messenger of יהוה face to face.”

Jdg 6:23  And יהוה said to him, “Peace be with you! Do not fear, you do not die.”

Jdg 6:24  And Giḏ‛on built a slaughter-place there to יהוה, and called it: יהוה Shalom. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Aḇi‛ezerites.

Gideon saw the Messenger of Yahuah and feared death for seeing Him face to face. Yahuah assured Him that he would not die and he built an altar and named it Yahuah Shalum.

These titles directly relate to Yahusha as the Messenger of Yahuah who appeared in the OT.

Lastly YashaYahu 9:6 uses 5 titles describing the secret name :

1. Wonder: pala פלא H6382

2. ⁠Counsellor : yaats יעץ H3289

3. ⁠Elohim Mighty warrior : El Gibbor אל  (H1368)גבר (H410)

4. ⁠Everlasting Father: yad יעד H5703 AB אב H1

5. ⁠Prince of Peace: Sar סר H8269 Shalum שלום H7965

Number 5 in scripture refers to favour/grace (in Hebrew chan חן  H2580 which means to give or show beauty, grace or mercy to another, grace, favour, gracious, pleasant, precious). 

Torah -5 books of the Law have concealed in them the favor and mercy of Yahuah who would bring forth grace/mercy by being face to face with His creation.

Summary

Isaiah 9:6 introduces a Child born and a Son given, whose titles—Wonder, Counsellor, Mighty Elohim (El Gibbor), Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—reveal a figure of divine stature and purpose. The note analyzes the Hebrew terms, such as “yeled yulad” (a pleonastic and pun-like expression emphasizing birth) and “nathan” (given/appointed), to highlight the Son’s role in bestowing sonship to humanity. It traces the mystery of His name through Old Testament references (e.g., Proverbs 30:4, Judges 13:18), linking “Wonder” to the Messenger of Yahuah, and explores “Counsellor” as divine purpose, “Mighty Elohim” as warrior and sovereign, “Everlasting Father” as the eternal face of Elohim, and “Prince of Peace” as the leader bringing wholeness. These five titles, symbolizing grace, connect to Yahusha, who embodies Yahuah’s favor, uniting Father and Son as two facets of one Elohim, fulfilling His redemptive plan face-to-face with creation.

NEW or RENEWED?

 Rev 21:5  And He who was sitting on the throne said, “See, I make all new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.”

Rev 21:6  And He said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of the water of life without payment.

The study focuses on Revelation 21:5-6 and many passages challenging the English translation of “new” and arguing that the original Hebrew and Greek terms suggest “renewed” or “transformed” rather than something entirely new. It examines the Hebrew word chadash (חדש), which can mean both “new” (H2319) and “renew” (H2318), and the Greek word kainos (G2537), implying a transformed state rather than a fresh start. I here critique English-based interpretations, asserting that translators’ choices have led to misunderstandings, such as the idea that Yahusha introduced a completely new covenant or law, which they argue contradicts scripture. Let’s deep dive into it. 

Rev 21:5 in English semantics reads as “See, I make all new” but with a closer look at Hebrew word and Greek word/s and comparison with Rev 21:1-2 we will see what it actually means. We will examine many passages which in English is translated as ‘NEW’. Let’s begin.

We will examine the usage of renewed H2318 vs new H2319 and the Hebrew word used for both is chadash חדש and translators have placed the same word in different places causing the confusion to show Yahusha came with something new altogether which is why ignorant people not understanding scripture and simply reading in the English semantics interpret it differently. While we needn’t go to a Hebrew college to learn Hebrew but as a faithful servant of Yahusha we must pray and depend on His Ruach to give us the true understanding in careful understanding of the texts.

Let’s begin by understanding Rev 21:5 

Rev 21:5  And He who was sitting on the throne said, “Here I am (הנני- hinneni ), making complete עסה הכול(asah hakol ) the renewal ( חדש- chadash)” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.”

The Greek word translated in English as “Behold” is idou G2400 Second person singular imperative middle voice of G1492; used as imperative lo!: - behold, lo, see. 

idou G2400 is from G1492 eido A primary verb; used only in certain past tenses as ‘saw’ , the others being borrowed from the equivalent, G3700 and G3708; 

G3700 optomai The first a (middle voice) prolonged form of the second (primary) which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternates of G3708; to gaze (that is, with wide open eyes, as at something remarkable; 

G3708 horaō Properly to stare at (compare G3700), that is, (by implication) to discern clearly (physically or mentally); by extension to attend to; by Hebraism to experience; passively to appear.

The Greek roots and alternative words suggest something remarkable is seen here and the Greek says it’s the Hebraic expression ‘what is being seen is an experience’

Hence, the Hebrew word hinneni (הנני) is pointing out to experience Yahusha Himself as He is saying “Here I am”

The Book of Revelation is not available in Khabouris (Aramaic) for comparison of texts. 

Hence, “Here I am” directs the beholders eyes towards Him as to what He is going to do. The words translated as “make all” in Rev 21:5 are the Hebrew words asah hakol (עסה הכול) 

The Greek words are listed below:

Make:

poieō G4160 and means ‘cause/execute/bring forth’ 

All:

Pas G3956 which also means whole 

New: 

Kainos G2537 and its usage is unique as it depicts freshness or a transformed nature and not a start over.

Both Hebrew and Greek words here compliment each other “make all renewed” 

Example: new wine in new wineskins  : let’s study this scripture to understand whether renewed or new is more appropriate usage:

Matt 9:17 where the word translated as new in KJV is neoteros G3501 which is actually referring to ‘an aged wine in its freshness’ or ‘ more youthful’ put in kainos G2537 referring to a transformed wineskin as Kainos means a transformed state and not a start over. 

This is how the verse reads in English semantics 

Mat 9:17  “Neither do they put new (neoteros  G3501 ) wine into old (palaios G3820) wineskins, or else the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new (neoteros G3501) wine into fresh (kainos G2537) wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Neoteros G3501 

1. Root word: νέος (neos) – “New” (in the sense of recent, youthful, or fresh).

2. Comparative suffix: -τερος (-teros) – A common Greek ending used to form the comparative degree, meaning “more”

No one puts wine which is in its fermentation stage into new wine skins or it will burst, similarly, no one puts an aged wine in its youthful taste (neoteros G3501) into worn out (palaios G3820) wineskins.

palaios G3820 is translated as old in Matt 9:17 whereas palaios means worn out. 

Hence, the verse should read 

Mat 9:17  “Neither do they put youthful aged wine into worn out wineskins, or else the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put youthful aged wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Yahusha speaks this parabolically in context of the bridegroom and the bride. Here we see a similarity of what is stated in Rev 21:5 that He is making whole/complete the renewal process in a transition.

The youthful aged wine is the Ruach of Mashiyach dwelling in a transformed wineskin and not a worn out wineskin. The wineskin is the renewed man ie. The Yahudi and Gentile in Mashiyach.

Eph 2:15  having abolished in His flesh the enmity – the torah of the commands in dogma – so as to create in Himself one renewed (Hebrew : chadash חדש & Greek word kainos G2537) man from the two, thus making peace, 

A renewed man in Himself (Yahusha) is created and Yahusha was a man born of a woman, born under Torah to redeem those under the Torah to receive the adoption of sons.

Gal 4:4  But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah, 

Gal 4:5  to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.

The Redemption was the price paid by His Blood to deliver us from the Torah of sin and death which pronounced judgment and curses for violation and transition us into the Torah of the Spirit of Life 

Rom 8:2  For the torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah יהושע has set me free from the torah of sin and of death. 

Gentiles are not pagan gentiles who are the serpent seed but the lost sheep of the house of YasharEL having lost their ethnicity, scattered to the ends of the world. The Covenant (barayath ברית ) is not new as the words of the covenant are renewed and is not a new Torah altogether.

Remember, in my past studies I have mentioned that Moses was given the Book of the Covenant which was to be taught to YasharEL in a simple manner but when he came down the mountain, he saw them worshiping the golden calf and he broke those tablets written within and without at the base of the mountain and the second set was given later which went straight into the ark of the Covenant.

Instead now YasharEL was given a fiery law for which now disobedience would bring a death sentence as they entered into its blessings and curses as six tribes were told to stand on Mount Eybal and read the curses and YasarEL agreed with its clauses and six tribes stood on Mount Gerazim and read the blessings and YasharEL agreed with it’s clauses.

Deu 11:26  See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: 

Deu 11:27  the blessing, when you obey the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I command you today;

Deu 11:28  and the curse, if you do not obey the commands of יהוה your Elohim, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other mighty ones which you have not known.

Deu 11:29  And it shall be, when יהוה your Elohim has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ěyḇal.

Jos 8:32  And there, in the presence of the children of Yisra’ěl, he wrote on the stones a copy of the Torah of Mosheh, which he had written.

Jos 8:33  And all Yisra’ěl – the sojourner as well as the native – with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Lěwites, who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ěyḇal, as Mosheh the servant of יהוה had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Yisra’ěl.

Hence , the marriage vows stating “All that Yahuah says we will do” was broken consistently until Yahuah sent them away with a certificate of divorce and scattered them to the ends of the world.

The same Yahuah in a transitioned form ie. In a human form searched out and is still searching out the bride bringing her into the marriage vows with Him after renewing (chadash & kainos) her. The consummation will happen at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Rev 19:9  And he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true words of Elohim.”

Rom 7:1   Or do you not know, brothers – for I speak to those knowing the Torah – that the Torah rules over a man as long as he lives? 

Rom 7:2  For the married woman has been bound by Torah to the living husband, but if the husband dies, she is released from the Torah concerning her husband.

Rom 7:3  So then, while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she becomes another man’s. But if her husband dies, she is free from that part of the Torah, so that she is not an adulteress, having become another man’s.

Rom 7:4  So my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of Messiah, for you to become another’s, the One who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to Elohim.

The youthful aged wine ie. The Ruach of Mashiyach Yahusha can now dwell in the renewed (created in Himself) bride depicted as transformed or fresh wineskins. 

The husband is the same but by his death (going through the penalty of death sentence for breaking wedlock) in a transitioned form, He now remarries the remnant who is renewed, bringing the Covenant to a completeness or conclusion.

Hence, chadash חדש is as what is stated in H2318 causatively to rebuild: - renew, repair. 

Hence,  booth of David which was fallen down is erected once again.

Act 15:14  “Shim‛on has declared how Elohim first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His Name.

Act 15:15  “And the words of the prophets agree with this, as it has been written:

Act 15:16  ‘After this I shall return and rebuild the Booth of Dawiḏ which has fallen down. And I shall rebuild its ruins, and I shall set it up,

Act 15:17  so that the remnant of mankind shall seek יהוה, even all the Gentiles on whom My Name has been called, says יהוה who is doing all this,’

Act 15:18  who has made this known from of old. Amo 9:11-12.

Hen 8:8  For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says יהוה, “when I shall cut out (Hebrew : karathi כרתי & Greek : sunteleo from sun G4862 which means ‘with/together’ and teleo G5055 which means ‘end/conclude/go over’)  the house of Yisra’ěl and with the house of Yehuḏah a renewed (Hebrew: chadash חדש & Greek: kainos G2537) Covenant,

Heb 8:9  not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says יהוה.

Heb 8:10  “Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Yisra’ěl after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.

Heb 8:11  “And they shall by no means teach each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know יהוה,’ because they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

The passage is from YarmeYahu/Jeremiah 31:31-34) which uses the word karathi כרתי which means ‘cut out’

The Greek suggests Yahuah would go over the house of YasharEL and house of Yahudah to bring a completion. 

Both render the same meaning ie. An extract from the lump ie. A Renewed lot

The Covenant was and is never with pagan gentiles as Christianity teaches. It’s with the remnant scattered of YasharEL. 

Rev 7:4  And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Yisra’ěl: 

Revelation 7 speaks of the sealing of Elohim’s people ie. 1,44,000 where 12 x 12,000 (from every tribe is sealed as stated in Rev 7:5-8). The number 12 and multiples of it are figurative of Yahuah’s people eg. 12 tribes, 12 apostles of the Lamb, 120 disciples in the upper room 

The numbers 10, 100 and 1000 speaks of completeness 

eg. In Rev 2:10 Yahusha tells the assembly of Smyrna that they would have tribulation for 10 days, which means all the days the physical assembly would exist.

In Luke 15:4 Yahusha speaks of 100 sheep and one lost and the shepherd will search out the lost sheep making it 100 

In Psalms 50:10 Yahuah says the cattle on a thousand hills are his. The 1000 hills is figurative and means cattle on all hills are His. 

There are many more examples but these examples are enough to establish what 10,100 and 1000 means.

Hence, 1,44000 can also be written as 12 x 12 x 1000 as the tribes in OT and NT, their complete number denoted by 1,000.

Hence, we see the Covenant is always established with  YasharEL and Gentiles are the lost sheep of the house of YasharEL who have lost their ethnicity will eventually get their tribal identity.

Mat 4:13  And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,

Mat 4:14  to fill what was spoken by Yeshayahu the prophet, saying, 

Mat 4:15  “Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yarděn, Galilee of the Gentiles –

Mat 4:16  the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death, light arose to them.” Isa 9:1-2.

The tribes dwelling beyond the Yarden were considered as Gentiles as the Assyrian king Shalmanaser had carried them captive because Yahuah gave them up for the abominations done by them. Esharaddon his son relocated some of them along with some infidels which is why the Pharisees and their system in the temple ruling in Yahusha’s time, looked down upon them. But Yahusha said He came to the lost sheep of the house of YasharEL to bring them back to the fold of His tribes. Hence, Yahusha went up to Galilee (known as Galilee of Gentiles) often. 

2Ki 17:3  Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur came up against him. And Hoshěa became his servant, and rendered him a present.

2Ki 17:4  But the sovereign of Ashshur found a conspiracy in Hoshěa, for he had sent messengers to So, sovereign of Mitsrayim, and had not brought a present to the sovereign of Ashshur, as year by year. And the sovereign of Ashshur shut him up, and bound him in prison.

2Ki 17:5  And the sovereign of Ashshur went through all the land, and went up to Shomeron and besieged it for three years. 

2Ki 17:6  In the ninth year of Hoshěa, the sovereign of Ashshur captured Shomeron and exiled Yisra’ěl to Ashshur, and settled them in Ḥalaḥ and Ḥaḇor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 

Ezr 4:2  they came to Zerubbaḇel and the heads of the fathers’ houses and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your Elohim as you do. And we have slaughtered to Him since the days of Ěsarḥaddon sovereign of Ashshur, who brought us here.” 

Here is a quick snapshot of history:

1. Shalmaneser V (727–722 BCE) – He was the Assyrian king who began the conquest of Israel (the northern kingdom). However, before he could fully consolidate his rule, he was overthrown.

2. Sargon II (722–705 BCE) – He succeeded Shalmaneser V by overthrowing him and completed the destruction of Israel (722 BCE). He deported the Ten Tribes of Israel, scattering them across the Assyrian Empire (2 Kings 17:6).

3. Sennacherib (705–681 BCE) – He became king after Sargon II and was his son, who later attacked Judah, the southern kingdom (not Israel). His famous invasion of Jerusalem under King Hezekiah happened in 701 BCE (2 Kings 18–19)

Sennacherib was son of Sargon II, Sargon II had overthrown Shalmaneser and became king instead. Sennacherib ruled after the death of his father Sargon II and scripture records his two sons Aḏrammeleḵ and Shar‘etser struck him with the sword and killed him and Ěsarḥaddon reigned in his place.

2Ki 19:36  And Sanḥěriḇ sovereign of Ashshur broke camp and went away, and turned back, and remained in Ninewěh.

2Ki 19:37  And it came to be, as he was bowing himself in the house of Nisroḵ his mighty one, that his sons Aḏrammeleḵ and Shar‘etser struck him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And his son Ěsarḥaddon reigned in his place.

Ezra records the statement of those who were relocated by Esarhaddon in Ezra 4:2. These people during Ezra’s time were not trustworthy though they claimed that now they only sacrificed to Yahuah. 

Ezr 4:2  they came to Zerubbaḇel and the heads of the fathers’ houses and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your Elohim as you do. And we have slaughtered to Him since the days of Ěsarḥaddon sovereign of Ashshur, who brought us here.” 

Hence , those tribes dwelling beyond the Yarden were called Galilee of the Gentiles and were looked down upon. Yahusha came here and preached the good news to them and many of them believed on Him. Those who believed were of YasharEL and not pagan gentiles.

Mat 1:21  “And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name יהושע for He shall save His people from their sins.” 

Yahusha saves HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR sins.

Act 18:4  And he (Shaul) was reasoning in the congregation every Sabbath, and won over both Yehuḏim and Gentiles. 

What were Gentiles doing in synagogues/ kenesseth’s? This again shows these Gentiles were not pagan Gentiles but YasharELites as per their geographical location (converts to Judaism when in dispersion).

Acts of the apostles mentions of Gentiles in synagogues throughout. These were not pagan Gentiles as Christianity teaches who look at Old Testament as historical book, they need to look at and know Biblical history. 

Coming back to the wine and wineskins:

The Hebrew word for wineskin is נֹאד (nod) 

Psalms 119:83  For I have become like a wineskin/ nod נאד  H4997 in the smoke, Your laws I have not forgotten 

Psalms 56:8  You have counted my wanderings; You put my tears into Your wineskin / nod נאד H4997 Are they not in Your book? 

In Matthew 9:17 for the youthful aged wine the Hebrew uses chadash חדש and for transformed (Greek: kainos) again the Hebrew uses chadash חדש 

Mar 9:17  “Neither do they put chadash חדש wine into worn out wineskins (nod נאד) , or else the wineskins (nod נאד) burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins (nod נאד) are ruined. But they put chadash חדש wine into fresh wineskins (nod נאד), and both are preserved.” 

Since, Hebrew uses the same word chadash חדש for new H2319 and renew H2318, people get into extreme lawlessness as a position teaching Yahusha does everything new, thus, teaching He is obliterating  the Torah and making it history.

Though many call on Yahusha, but the Yahusha they believe in is Torahless as they teach new laws and moral behaviour just as Christianity teaches. To understand H2318 and H2319 we must look at the same word H2320 which through vowel pointing they term it as chodesh חדשׁ and is translated as new moon or new month.

When we look at the moon we see the different phases of the moon in its renewal from one new moon to another and this renewal is in view, not a newly created moon. 

Isa 66:23  “And it shall be that from New moon /chadash חדש H2320 to New moon/ chadash חדש H2320, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה. 

Hence, we see the same moon in a reset position and hence is a renewal and not an altogether new moon being created and old one being obliterated. 

Similarly, the youthful age old wine remains the same ie. The wine of the Ruach of Mashiyach but the wineskins which were worn out as YasharEL who became a whore and sent out with the certificate of divorce was cleansed by the blood of her husband who was the same husband but transitioned into being a human form and hence, she was repaired, rebuilt, cleansed denoted by the word chadash which means renewed in the order of ordination of the everlasting covenant.

Remember Hebrews 8 says the fault lied in them (YasharEL)

Heb 8:8  For finding fault with them, He says…

The Torah which was on a stony heart now saw a renewal to a fleshy heart on which it is inscribed. 

Heb 8:10  “Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Yisra’ěl after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. 

Ezk 11:19  “And I shall give them one heart, and put a renewed (chadash חדש)  spirit within you. And I shall take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,

Ezk 11:20  so that they walk in My laws, and guard My right-rulings, and shall do them. And they shall be My people and I shall be their Elohim.

And  we have the mind of Mashiyach not a lawless mind taught by Christianity and its derived people who don’t have spiritual discernment.

1Co 2:15  But he who is spiritual discerns indeed all matters, but he himself is discerned by no one.

1Co 2:16  For “Who has known the mind of יהוה? Who shall instruct Him?” Isa 40:13 But we have the mind of Messiah.

The chadash /renewed wine is now in a chadash/renewed wineskin.

The youthful age old wine which dwelt in a physical tabernacle denoted by YasharEL after the flesh as worn out wineskins ,  year by year YasharEL in the land or living outside the land had to present themselves with sacrifices and offerings three times a year to this physical tabernacle or temple where Ruach Yahuah dwelt, now dwells as a transitioned Ruach Yahuah = Yahusha (known as Ruach of Mashiyach) in the renewed bride who is His dwelling place forever. 

No physical tabernacle or temple where YasharEL had to gather and they failed due to their whoredoms denoted by worn out wineskins. 

The youthful age old wine remains the same in renewal, the renewal is the revelation of who the youthful age old wine is ie. The Ruach of Mashiyach 

2Co 3:16  And when one turns to the Master/ADON, the veil is taken away. 

2Co 3:17  Now יהוה is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of יהוה is, there is freedom.

2Co 3:18  And we all, as with unveiled face we see as in a mirror the esteem of יהוה, are being transformed into the same likeness from esteem to esteem, as from יהוה, the Spirit.

Esteem to Esteem : Whose Esteem? Same Yahuah’s esteem now through being face to face with creation as Yahusha. 

1Pe 1:10  Concerning this deliverance the prophets have sought out and searched out, prophesying concerning the favour for you, 

1Pe 1:11  searching to know what, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Messiah which was in them was pointing out concerning Messiah, when it was bearing witness beforehand the sufferings of Messiah, and the esteems that would follow,

The Spirit/Ruach of Mashiyach was in the prophets witnessing to them before hand the suffering of Mashiyach and the esteem to follow.

Hence, esteem to esteem is understood correctly in a renewal and not some new Spirit or Ruach. What was concealed was revealed in plain sight to His elect once they were renewed into the transformation to be able to receive the Ruach Mashiyach in them. ie. Ruach Yahuah is now revealed to us as Ruach Yahusha ha Mashiyach…the age old wine renewed. It’s the Masoretes vowel pointing that made the difference as originally Hebrew syriac letter was without vowel points. One may refer to Dead Sea scrolls where they found fragments of Old Testament texts in the syriac letter without vowel points 

The Masoretic vowel points show differences in the same spelling and hence, they use carnal men to interpret scripture to their understanding of it. See the vowel points on the same word chadash חדש below giving the variations:

1. H2318 (חָדַשׁ - Verb): “To renew”

2. H2319 (חָדָשׁ - Adjective): “New”

3. H2320 (חֹדֶשׁ - Noun): “Month” or “New Moon”

2Co 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a renewed (Hebrew: chadashah חדשה & Greek: kainos G2537 which means transformed) creature – the first estate (Hebrew: ha rishonoth הראשנות & Greek: archaios G744 which means of old time or original. From G746 arche which means first estate) crossed over (Hebrew: abaru עברו), see, all become renewed(Hebrew: chadashoth חדשות & Greek : kainos)! 

This is the correct revised translation basis the scripture which says to make in Himself One Renewed man (Jew and the Gentile)

Eph 2:15  having abolished in His flesh the enmity – the torah of the commands in dogma – so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two, thus making peace,

2Corin 5:17 rewritten in simple revised translation would be 

Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a transformed creature-having crossed over the first estate, behold, all is transformed. 

Not NEW with laws obliterated portraying a Torahless man but a renewed man in Mashiyach. 

Tit 3:5  He saved us, not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His compassion, through the washing of rebirth, and renewal (Greek word: anakainōsis G342 )by the Set-apart Spirit, 

Greek word ἀνακαίνωσις (anakainōsis), meaning “renewal” or “renovation,” comes from the root word καινός (kainos), which means “transformed.”

ἀνακαινόω (anakainoō) (verb, Strong’s G341) – “To renew” or “to make new again.”

καινός (kainos) (adjective, Strong’s G2537) – “New” (qualitatively new, different from before (transformed) but the same person or group or object in viewpoint).

Tit 3:5  He saved us, not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His compassion, through the washing of renewal (Hebrew: ha chadashah החדשה) birth (Hebrew: halidah הלידה )( Greek: paliggenesia G3824 for renewal birth) , and renovation (Hebrew: chadosh חדוש & Greek anakainōsis G342) by the Set-apart Spirit, 

The Hebrew uses chadash in two places in the same verse for regeneration and renovation

The Greek uses the word paliggenesia G3824 for renewal birth and anakainōsis G342 for renovation.

Here is the break up of paliggenesia 

πάλιν (palin) – “Again” or “anew.”

γένεσις (genesia ) – “Birth” or “origin.”

Connection to Καινός (kainos)

καινός (kainos) means “new” in quality, something transformed rather than just new in time and the same person, group or object is in view.

While παλιγγενεσία (paliggenesia) emphasizes a complete rebirth or starting over, καινός (kainos) focuses on newness in essence or a transformed state.

Matthew 19:28 – Yahusha speaks of “the renewal of all things” (ἐν τῇ παλιγγενεσίᾳ-paliggenesia ), referring to the restoration of creation as a starting over. 

Mat 19:28  And יהושע said to them, “Truly I say to you, when the Son of Aḏam sits on the throne of His esteem, you who have followed Me in the renewal (Hebrew: chadash חדש, Greek: paliggenesia G3824 ), shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Yisra’ěl. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Messiah, he is a transformed (καινὴ kainos G2537 ) creation.” 

Kainos speaks of the transformed nature of a believer, not a restart.

Isa 66:22  “For as the renewed /chadash חדש heavens and the renewed/ chadash חדש ) earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand.

Isa 66:23  “And it shall be that from New moon / chadash חדש to New moon/ chadash חדש , and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.

If the moon is a renewed moon on basis of its cycles of a reset, then the heavens and the earth are also renewed and not new.

Gen 2:4  These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens. 

The heavens and the earth (renewed and yet to be realized) were created in the day Yahuah Elohim made the earth and the heavens (physical and a typology of what is to come).

2Pe 3:12  looking for and hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which the heavens shall be destroyed, being set on fire, and the elements melt with intense heat! 

2Pe 3:13  But according to His promise we wait for a renewed or transformed (Hebrew: chadashah חדשה & Greek : kainos) heavens and a renewed or transformed (Hebrew: chadashah חדשה & Greek: kainos) earth Isa 65:17, Isa 66:22 in which righteousness dwells.

We saw the Greek word kainos speaks of the transformed state and not a start over. The same heavens and earth which now are, Peter is saying the elements will melt with intense heat from the purification fire.

Yahuchanan saw Heavenly Yerushalayim descending from heaven 

Rev 21:1   And I saw a renewed or transformed (Hebrew chadashim חדשים & Greek: kainos G2537) heaven and a renewed or transformed ( Hebrew : chadashah חדשה & Greek: kainos G2537) earth, Isa 65:17 for the former heaven and the former earth had crossed over (Hebrew: abaru עברו & Greek parerchomai G3928), and the sea is no more. 

Parerchomai G3928

παρά (para) G3844– “Beside” or “alongside.”

ἔρχομαι (erchomai) G2064 – “To come” or “to go.”

The Greek gives the inexpressible impression of the former heavens and earth as ‘ Alongside to go’ which actually means by reading in between the lines as ‘parallelism’ ie. One stood as typology of the other.

The other refers to the renewed heavens and renewed earth comes to the same earth and the heavens but as Peter saying after it’s purified by fire. 

Genesis 2:4 shows us Yahuah created the heavens and the earth (renewed) alongside the earth and the heavens (physical and typological) 

Then we read in Rev 21:2

Rev 21:2  And I, Yoḥanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed or transformed (Hebrew: ha chadashah החדשה & Greek: kainos G2537) Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 

Yahuchanan compares the renewed Yerushalayim to the bride adorned for her husband and the bride we saw was renewed or transformed and not a new bride altogether. Kainos is the transformed state and not a start over creation.

Detailed summation:

The word NEW is a derivative from Masoretic vowel points added to the word chadash חדש ie. A man of sin influence to bring forth a meaning appeasing a carnal Torahless mind to show a new man with new set of laws with moral behaviour which they term as power of the Spirit.

In this detailed exegesis of scripture we saw the man is renewed in Mashiyach and we saw the Greek word ‘Kainos’ which shows the transformed state and not a start over creation.

We saw the Greek word ‘paliggenesia’ emphasizes a starting over where ‘palin’ means ‘again’ and ‘genesia’ from where we get our word genesis means ‘birth or origin’. Yahusha speaks of a starting over of creation in Matt 19:28 relative to the renewed heavens and renewed earth judging over the 12 tribes and the Covenant was never with pagan Gentiles but over them whom His name is called (Amos 9:11-12 and Acts 15:16-17). We saw the historical aspect of YasharEL in dispersion when king of Assyria carried them captive and some from the tribes who came back into the land were called Galilee of the Gentiles, they were the lost sheep of the house of YasharEL, those remnant chosen still in dispersion are also part of the figurative 1,44,000 where we saw in Rev 7 speaking of 12,000 from each tribe were sealed (12 x 1000). We saw the number 12 as the number of the remnant of Yahuah and 10,100 and 1000 speak of completeness. 

We saw the parallelism of the heavens and the earth made in the day Yahuah made the earth and the heavens and Peter speaks of the present earth and heavens being set on fire and purified and Yahuchanan speaks of the renewed heavens and renewed earth appeared when the former earth and heavens crossed over. The renewed Yerushalayim came down from above in the sight of him as a bride adorned for her bridegroom. 

The Covenant which was cut out and was written within and without was placed in the ark of the Covenant and carnal YasharEL had no access to it. However, in the renewed Covenant this came written on the believers mind and heart as it was before carnal Torah came written. The Abrahamic covenant is everlasting as the Promised seed was Mashiyach and it was told to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations and the Hebrew word for nations is guym which means gentiles. 

Gal 3:8  And the Scripture, having foreseen that Elohim would declare right the Gentiles by belief, announced the Good News to Aḇraham beforehand, saying, “All the Gentiles shall be blessed in you,”

Gen 18:18  since Aḇraham is certainly going to become a great and mighty nation/guy גוי , and all the Gentiles /guym  גוים H1471 of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Gen 18:19  “For I have known him, so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard the way of יהוה, to do righteousness and right-ruling, so that יהוה brings to Aḇraham what He has spoken to him.”

These same gentiles on whom the name Yahuah would be called as families is recorded in Gen 12:3 as a promise to Abraham, they are termed as mispachah משפחה H4940 which means ‘family’ 

Hen 11:17  By belief, Aḇraham, when he was tried, offered up Yitsḥaq, and he who had received the promises offered up his only brought-forth son,

Heb 11:18  of whom it was said, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called,” Gen 21:12.

Heb 11:19  reckoning that Elohim was able to raise, even from the dead, from which he received him back, as a type.

Yitshaq was a type of the promised seed Mashiyach who would die to redeem the seed of Abraham and we see this when Abraham went to sacrifice Yitshaq on Mount Moriah (later the temple was built in same place) and he saw a ram caught by its horns in the thorn bushes and offered it in his place and named the place Yahuah Yarah which means ‘Yahuah will be seen’. Through belief in Mashiyach Yahusha as Yitshaq was, we are children of promise 

Gal 4:28  And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise. 

We need to replicate the behaviour of Abraham our father, the father of Gentiles who guarded the way of Yahuah.

Gen 18:19  “For I have known him, so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard the way of יהוה, to do righteousness and right-ruling, so that יהוה brings to Aḇraham what He has spoken to him.”

Gen 26:5  because Aḇraham obeyed My voice and guarded My Charge: My commands, My laws, and My Torah”

In Luke 16 :19-31 ie. The parable of the Rich man and Lazarus, Lazarus the Gentile was carried to Abraham’s bosom.

While the parable itself doesn’t tell Lazarus was a Gentile, his heart condition showed that he longed for the crumbs that fell from the Rich man’s table, the rich man being carnal YasharEL who was rich in covenant protection, promised land, satisfying grain of the land flowing with milk and honey etc.

This heart condition was displayed by a Canaanite woman in Matt 15:22-28, she displayed the heart condition of Lazarus

Mat 15:26  And He answering, said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

Mat 15:27  But she said, “Yes Master, for even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

We saw the example of renewed wine (youthful age old wine)  poured into renewed ( transformed from whore to bride ) wineskins where the Ruach Yahuah concealed as Ruach Mashiyach ( who in transition) was in the prophets prophesying of the sufferings of Mashiyach beforehand and the esteem to follow and we are being transformed into the same esteem to esteem.

Summation in pointers :

🔹 1. Renewed, Not New

The Hebrew word chadash and Greek word kainos mean renewed or transformed, not brand-new. Scriptures like Revelation 21:5 and Romans 8:2 speak of restoration — not replacement — of Yahuah’s original plan.

🔹 2. Covenant Continuity

Yahusha didn’t establish a new religion or law — He renewed the original covenant with YasharEL, bringing it to fulfillment. The Torah remains central, now written on hearts instead of stone.

🔹 3. Lost Tribes, Not Pagan Gentiles

"Gentiles" in Scripture often refer to the lost tribes of YasharEL scattered through exile — not outsiders to the covenant. Yahusha came to seek and restore these lost sheep.

🔹 4. Wine & Wineskins as Transformation

Just like aged wine poured into fresh wineskins, the same Ruach (Spirit) of Yahuah now dwells in a renewed people — transformed from within to carry His presence.

🔹 5. Parallelism of Heavens & Earth

The new heavens and earth in Revelation are renewed versions of the original, purified and restored. It’s not a replacement, but a transformation in line with Yahuah’s original design.

🔹 6. Restoration Over Replacement

Emphasis is on restoration theology — understanding Yahusha's mission as restoring what was broken, not starting something entirely new. The bride is renewed, not replaced.

The overarching argument is that Yahusha renews and completes the existing covenant and creation, transforming believers into a “renewed man” (Ephesians 2:15) and restoring the relationship with Elohim, rather than abolishing the Torah or starting anew. The study emphasizes reliance on the Spirit for true understanding, rejecting what it calls “Torahless” Christian interpretations influenced by Masoretic vowel points and English semantics.

The Redemption Price

Preface

This study explores the redemption narrative in the Book of Ruth, focusing on the costs incurred by Boaz to redeem both the land originally owned by Elimelech and Ruth, the childless widow of Mahlon. While the Book of Ruth itself does not explicitly detail the prices paid, this analysis draws on Torah provisions—particularly from Leviticus and Deuteronomy—to estimate these costs and uncover their deeper spiritual significance. The redemption process intertwines legal, cultural, and prophetic elements, ultimately pointing to Yahusha ha Mashiyach as the ultimate Kinsman Redeemer, whose actions parallel Boaz’s selfless act of redemption.

The portion of the text in Ruth only speaks of Boaz saying to the elders and to all the people that they are a witness that he has bought all that was Elimelech's and all that was Chilyon's and Machlon's.

Rth 4:9 And Bo‛az said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimeleḵ’s, and all that was Kilyon’s and Maḥlon’s, from/mem the hand/yad of Na‛omi.
Rth 4:10 “And also, Ruth the Mo’aḇitess, the wife of Maḥlon, I have acquired as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, so that the name of the dead should not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”

Elimelech, his 2 sons and his wife Naomi Ephrathites of Bayt Lacham went to the plains of Moab (Heshbon-where Reubenites dwelt) as there was scarcity of food in the land.

 
Rth 1:1 And it came to be, in the days when the rulers ruled, that there was a scarcity of food in the land. And a man from Běyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah, went to sojourn in the fields of Mo’aḇ, he and his wife and his two sons.
Rth 1:2 And the name of the man was Elimeleḵ, and the name of his wife was Na‛omi, and the names of his two sons were Maḥlon and Kilyon – Ephrathites of Běyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah. And they went to the fields of Mo’aḇ and came to be there.

Rth 4:3 He then said to the redeemer, “Naʽomi, who has come back from the fields of Mo’aḇ, sold/makarah H4376 the piece of field which belonged to our brother Elimeleḵ.
Rth 4:4 “And I thought that I should disclose it to you, saying, ‘Buy it back in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you do redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not redeem it, inform me, so that I know. For there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.’ ” And he said, “I redeem it.”

The prefix 'mem' usually means 'from' but it also means 'out of' implying that the actual redeeming was not from her hand but from the one to whom it was sold to. The mem as a prefix before the yad/hand of Naamay (Naomi) doesn't mean the buying was from her hand or else why was there a need of redemption? The next verse Ruth 4:4 'Buy it back...' shows that the property was already sold by her and it was not in her hand but was 'out of her hand' and the rendering in English should be correctly understood as stated below.

Rth 4:9 And Boʽaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimeleḵ’s, and all that was Kilyon’s and Maḥlon’s, 'which was' out of/mem Noami's hand/yad.

****which was is an emphasis added to show what the mem before the yad/hand means*****

 In Ruth 4:3 Boaz tells the supposed kinsman redeemer that Naomi sold the piece of land which belonged to Elimelech.

Rth 4:3 He then said to the redeemer, “Naʽomi, who has come back from the fields of Mo’aḇ, sold the piece of the field which belonged to our brother Elimeleḵ.

The Torah (Leviticus 25:23-28) teaches that Yasharalite land belongs to Elohim and cannot be sold permanently—only leased until the Jubilee Year.

Lev 25:23  ‘And the land is not to be sold beyond reclaim, for the land is Mine, for you are sojourners and settlers with Me. 

Lev 25:24  ‘And provide for a redemption for the land, in all the land of your possession. 

Lev 25:25  ‘When your brother becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and his redeemer, a close relative comes to redeem it, then he shall redeem what his brother sold. 

Lev 25:26  ‘And when the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it, 

Lev 25:27  then let him count the years since its sale, and return the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he shall return to his possession. 

Lev 25:28  ‘And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Yoḇel. And it shall be released in the Yoḇel, and he shall return to his possession. 

Elimelech and his family left Bayth Lacham due to scarcity of food (Ruth 1:1-2), and it is implied that he either:

1. Leased out the land before leaving, or
2. Lost legal claim due to financial hardship for which Naomi had to sell it when she came back.

When Elimelech died, his property rights would have passed to his sons Machlon and Chilyon, but they also died (Ruth 1:3-5), leaving Naomi without male heirs.

During the period of the Judges, Bayt Lacham/Bethlehem was a small, unwalled village in the tribal territory of Yahudah. Bayth Lacham was David's hometown.

1Sa 16:1  And יהוה said to Shemu’ěl, “How long are you going to mourn for Sha’ul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Yisra’ěl? Fill your horn with oil, and go, I am sending you to Yishai the Běyth Leḥemite. For I have seen among his sons a sovereign for Myself.” 

Bayt Lacham became a walled city (fortified city) during Rehaboam's rule.

2Ch 11:5  And Reḥaḇ‛am dwelt in Yerushalayim, and built cities for a defence in Yehuḏah. 
2Ch 11:6  And he built Běyth Leḥem, and Ěytam, and Teqowa, 

This is important to know as Torah says houses in walled cities can be permanently sold if not redeemed within one year (Leviticus 25:29-30).

Lev 25:29  ‘And when a man sells a house in a walled city, then his right of redemption shall be at the end of the year after it is sold. His right of redemption lasts a year. 

Lev 25:30  ‘But if it is not redeemed within a complete year, then the house in the walled city shall be established beyond reclaim to the buyer of it, throughout his generations. It is not released in the Yoḇel. 

At the time of Judges, Bayt Lacham was not a walled city and that's why its termed as 'piece of the field'. If the land is not redeemed earlier, it automatically returns to the original owner in the Jubilee Year (Leviticus 25:28).

Lev 25:28  ‘And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee/Yoḇel. And it shall be released in the Jubilee/Yoḇel, and he shall return to his possession. 

Rth 4:3 He then said to the redeemer, “Naʽomi, who has come back from the fields of Mo’aḇ, sold the piece of the field/sadah סדה  H7704 which belonged to our brother Elimeleḵ.

The land redemption was tied to a Levirate-like obligation (Deuteronomy 25:5-10), even though Boaz was not a blood brother of Machlon. Boaz accepted both the land and the responsibility to marry Ruth, ensuring that the inheritance stayed in Elimelech’s family. If the brother refused to marry his brother's childless widow , the widow performs chalitsah (removing his sandal in a public ceremony).

Deu 25:9  then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and remove/chalitsah his sandal from his foot, and shall spit in his face, and answer and say, ‘Thus it is done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.’ 

Deu 25:10  “And in Yisra’ěl his name shall be called, ‘The house of him who had his sandal removed/chalitsah.’ 

Boaz and the nearest kinsman redeemer were NOT brother's of Machlon (Ruth’s late husband), so the strict Levirate law didn’t apply. Hence, we read the custom of redemption (not according to the Levirate law) of removing the sandal and giving it to the one redeeming the land (termed as neighbor) and the exchange of lands. There was no spitting in the face involved and Ruth was not involved in the entire redemption process as it didn't require her to be as it was a redemption by choice and even Boaz could have refused as did the nearest kinsman redeemer. However, Boaz's act of selflessness and kindness ultimately led to Boaz and Ruth becoming the ancestors of King David (Ruth 4:17-22) through whose lineage Yahusha ha Mashiyach came.

Rut 4:7 Now this was the custom in former times in YasharEL concerning the redemption  and concerning changing, for to confirm all things: a man removed his sandal  and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the attestation in YasharEL. 

The price of redeeming the childless widow:

The Torah does not specify a fixed price for redeeming a childless widow, but if a person vowed themselves or someone else to Elohim, they could be redeemed for a set price (valued in shekels of silver).

Rth 3:4  “And it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and shall go in and uncover his feet, and lie down. And let him make known to you what you should do.” 

Rth 3:5  And she said to her, “All that you say to me, I do.

Rth 3:6  And she went down to the threshing-floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her. 

Rth 3:7  And Bo‛az ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. And she came softly and uncovered his feet, and lay down. 

Naomi tells Ruth to uncover Boaz's feet (an indication to redeem her-remember the sandal custom we just saw) and lie down at his feet.

Boaz's vow:

Boaz lets Ruth know that there is a kinsman redeemer closer than him and if he doesn't redeem her "I shall redeem you As Yahuah Lives!" (Ruth 3:13)

Rth 3:9  And he said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your female servant. Now you shall spread your covering over your female servant – for you are a redeemer.” 

Rth 3:10  And he said, “Blessed are you of יהוה, my daughter! For you have shown more loving-commitment at the end than at the beginning, not to go after young men, whether poor or rich. 

Rth 3:11  “And now, my daughter, do not fear. All that you say I do for you, for all the people of my town know that you are a capable woman. 

Rth 3:12  “And now, it is true that I am your redeemer. However, there is a redeemer nearer than I. 

Rth 3:13  “Stop over tonight, and in the morning it shall be that if he does redeem you, good – let him do it. But if he is not pleased to redeem you, then I shall redeem you, as יהוה lives! Lie down until morning.

Lev 27:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, 

Lev 27:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, and say to them, ‘When a man separates a vow, by your evaluation of lives unto יהוה,

Lev 27:3  when your evaluation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your evaluation shall be fifty sheqels of silver, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. 

Lev 27:4  ‘And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty sheqels/ שקל H8255 from H8254; 

Boaz's vow was binding as he feared Yahuah and according to Torah, he brought himself under the oath of evaluating Ruth (a female) to pay 30 sheqels of silver for her redemption. Remember, book of Ruth is silent on all this but we by the Ruach look at Torah portions to understand the redemption price and its significance.

Zec 11:12  And I said to them, “If it is good in your eyes, give me my wages. And if not, refrain.” So they weighed/sheqel שקל H8254 out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. 

Zec 11:13  And יהוה said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” the splendid price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the House of יהוה for the potter. 

Lev 27:25  ‘And all your evaluations are to be according to the sheqel of the set-apart place: twenty gěrahs to the sheqel. 

The command was that all your evaluations are to be according to the sheqel of the set-apart place i.e. the house of Yahuah. Yahuah as Yahusha was priced at the splendid price of thirty sheqels of the set-apart place and the prophecy says the 30 pieces be thrown into the house of Yahuah for the potter.

The Hebrew word for potter is 'yatsar יצר H3335' and the same word H3334 means 'to be in distress'. Boaz (prophetically as Yahusha who would redeem his bride) brought himself under the oath of a price of redeeming Ruth and the price for the female as per the evaluations according to the sheqel of the set-apart place was thirty sheqels. We see Yahuah as Yahusha was evaluated at the same price and this price or thirty pieces was thrown into the house of Yahuah (set-apart place) for the distressed (an indication of the price of his bride).

Mat 27:3  Then Yehuḏah – he who delivered Him up – having seen that He had been condemned, repented, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and to the elders, 

Mat 27:4  saying, “I have sinned in delivering up innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” 

Mat 27:5  And throwing down the pieces of silver in the Dwelling Place he left, and went and hanged himself. 

Mat 27:6  And the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not right to put them into the treasury, seeing they are the price of blood.” 

Mat 27:7  So they took counsel and bought with them the potter’s/yastar יצר field/sadah סדה, for the burial of strangers/hagaryam הגרים. 

We see Yahudah Iscariot throwing the thirty pieces in the Set-Part Place and left and hanged himself. The chief priests took the thirty pieces and said since its the price of blood, its not right to put it in the temple treasury, hence, they took counsel and bought with them the potters field. Remember, we saw the same word yatsar יצר translated as potter as 'to be in distress' & we saw the piece of field Naomi sold termed as 'field/sadah סדה' and not land. With this background we see the chief priests purchased 'a distressed field for hagar's' (Hagar is hidden here, indicating that their temple worship system was now a Hagar system as Shaul the emissary says in Gal 4).

Gal 4:24  This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar, 

Gal 4:25  for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children. 

The price of land redemption:

Elimelech's land was not a dedicated land as outlined in Leviticus 27 but was a family inheritance land as stated in Leviticus 25, this would return back to Elimelech's family in the Jubilee/Yobel as per Torah.

Lev 25:13  ‘In the Year of this Yoḇel let each one of you return to his possession. 

Lev 25:14  ‘And when you sell whatever to your neighbour or buy from the hand of your neighbour, do not exploit one another. 

Lev 25:15  ‘According to the number of years after the Yoḇel you buy from your neighbour, and according to the number of years of crops he sells to you. 

Lev 25:16  ‘According to the greater number of years you increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you diminish its price, because he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops. 

The price was determined by how much barley the land could produce before Jubilee & this is derived based on laws related to redeeming the land dedicated to Yahuah as mentioned in Leviticus 27. The redeemer had to pay the fair value based on the remaining time.

Lev 25:15-16 Revised translation in simple English says (and makes sense): 

"You are to buy from your fellow Yasharelite based on the number of years since the last Jubilee; they are to sell to you based on the number of years of harvests remaining. The more years there are, the higher the price; the fewer years, the lower the price, because what is being sold is the number of crops."

There would have been many more years to come to arrive at a jubilee and the price would have been higher and that's why Naomi sought a kinsman redeemer.

Lev 27:16  ‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה a field he owns, then your evaluation shall be according to the seed for it – a ḥomer of barley seed at fifty sheqels of silver. 

In a family inheritance land there was no requirement to pay 1/5th i.e. 20% additional cost to redeem the land dedicated to Yahuah. In the set apart field/land dedicated to Yahuah, the Levitical priesthood was involved in evaluating the costs. Elimelech's field was family inheritance land and didn't require Levitical priesthood involvement but the elders of that city as witnesses.

Lev 27:19  ‘And if he who sets the field apart ever wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his.  

Formula for Redemption Price:

1 homer of barley seed = 50 sheqels of silver (Leviticus 27:16)

Land value = Total barley yield × Sheqel rate per homer

Boaz redeemed Elimelech’s land by paying its fair value in shekels but scripture is silent on how many years were left until jubilee/yobel and what was the price paid by Boaz but we can evaluate the price he paid to redeem Ruth i.e. 30 sheqel's of silver. We can understand that the price was higher and many years to attain a jubilee or else Naomi wouldn't seek a goel/kinsman redeemer.

We saw the Torah portion says that if the land outside a walled city (village/country side) sold by a brother in poverty can be redeemed by the closest kinsman, or in the year of the Jubilee it will be returned automatically back to him. The Torah portion also says (please see verse 30 of Lev 25) that if the house is in a walled city then it had to be redeemed within a space of a year and if not it would not return to the owner even in the jubilee. Hence, it's evident that this piece of land sold was not in the walled city of Bayt Lacham of Yahudah because Bayt Lacham was only a fortified city (walled city) built by Shelemoh's son Rehaboam and we are speaking of a time two to three generations before king Daud/David.

How does this portray Yahusha ha Mashiyach?

Firstly we saw that the Torah (Leviticus 25:23-28) teaches that Yasharalite land belongs to Elohim and cannot be sold permanently—only leased until the Jubilee Year. The land of YasharEL was the earthy pattern of Heavenly Yerushalahyim.

Deu 4:26  “I shall call the heavens and earth to witness against you on that day, that you soon completely perish from the land which you pass over the Yarděn to possess – you do not prolong your days in it but are completely destroyed. 

Deu 4:27  “And יהוה shall scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations where יהוה drives you. 

The land would enjoy its Sabbaths in desolation whilst YasharEL would be in dispersion.

Lev 26:33  ‘And I shall scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be desert and your cities ruins, 

Lev 26:34  and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

The Yahudite captivity in Babylon saw a 70 year desolation for not keeping 70 Sabbath's of years while in the land.

2Ch 36:20  And those who escaped from the sword he exiled to Baḇel, where they became servants to him and his sons until the reign of the reign of Persia, 

2Ch 36:21  in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed. 

120 years of jubilee's are determined for mankind:

Gen 6:3  And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 

We see many as Terah, Abraham etc. living more than 120 years after the flood and these 120 years are referring to Jubilee years and not literal age of man.

120 x 50 jubilee years = 6000 years

Number six in scriptures is often associated with humanity, imperfection, and labor (Genesis 1:26 – man created on the 6th day).

Number 1,000 often represents a large, complete, or perfect amount (Psalm 50:10 – "Elohim owns the cattle on a thousand hills").

Hence, 6 x 1000 signifies a complete imperfect humanity in distress of labor.

YasharEL in the land were under the Torah of the Shemitah cycle which required six years of sowing and 7th year of rest where they were to eat what grew of itself. Hence, 7 x 7 =49 where 49th year and the 50th year (Jubilee year) were years of rest.

Lev 25:3  ‘Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit, 

Lev 25:4  but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to יהוה. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard. 

In a 50-year Jubilee cycle, there are 7 Sabbath years (7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49) & 50th year was also a year of rest for the land. Hence, 8 Sabbath years of rest per jubilee.

Lev 25:10  ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee/Yoḇel for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.

Lev 25:11  ‘The fiftieth year is a Jubilee/Yoḇel to you. Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from its unpruned vine. 

Total Rest Years = 8 (Years: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 50)

Leviticus 25:21 – "I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years."

Elohim promised a triple harvest in the 48th year to sustain YasharEL through the 49th and 50th years in a jubilee cycle.

Number 8 in scripture symbolizes new beginnings and renewal. Creation was completed in 7 days, and the 8th day begins a new cycle, symbolizing a fresh start. Circumcision (a sign of the covenant) was performed on the 8th day (Genesis 17:12, Leviticus 12:3), marking a new spiritual beginning for a male child. 1 Peter 3:20 – "Only eight people were saved through water. David was the 8th son of Jesse (1 Samuel 16:10-13). He became a new kind of king in the Malchitsedek priesthood, foreshadowing the Messianic Kingdom of Yahusha Ha Mashiyach. The Feast of Tabernacles lasted 7 days, but the 8th day was special, symbolizing eternal rest and Elohim dwelling with His people.

Lev 23:36  ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work. 

Rev 21:1  And I saw a renewed heaven and a renewed earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.

After 7,000 years of human history (prophetically), the 8th millennium represents eternity with Elohim, a completely new beginning.

Hence, the 50th year i.e. Jubilee was the 8th year of rest in each Shemitah signifying a new beginning & renewal. The land would return to the original owner in the 50th year who leased it, marking a fresh start for him.

120 x 8 (8 sabbaths in each jubilee) = 960 sabbath years.

6,000 - 960 = 5,040 working years in a 120 years jubilee.

5040 = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 (The product (multiplication) of the first 7 numbers! indicating a need for an eternal rest with a new beginning).

Base validation= homer of barley x 50 sheqels of silver (as per Lev 27:16). 

Remember, we cannot calculate the homer of barley seed required to evaluate the land as its not mentioned. But Lev 27:19 says add 1/5th of your silver of your evaluation to it if the land is set-apart to Yahuah.

Lev 27:19  ‘And if he who sets the field apart ever wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his.

According to scriptural measurements, 1 homer = 10 ephah.

Eze 45:11  “Let the ěphah and the bath be of the same measure, so that the bath contains one-tenth of a ḥomer, and the ěphah one-tenth of a ḥomer. Let their measure be according to the ḥomer.

Homer (Kor) was the largest biblical dry measure.

Isa 5:8  Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 

Isa 5:9  In my hearing יהוה of hosts said, “Truly, many houses shall be a waste – big and fine ones, without inhabitant. 

Isa 5:10  “For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, and a ḥomer of seed yields one ěphah.”

Elimelech, Naomi, Machlon & Chilyon experienced scarcity of food in the land. We have no record of anyone else experiencing scarcity of food in the land apart from this family.

Rth 1:1  And it came to be, in the days when the rulers ruled, that there was a scarcity of food in the land. And a man from Běyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah, went to sojourn in the fields of Mo’aḇ, he and his wife and his two sons. 

Rth 1:2  And the name of the man was Elimeleḵ, and the name of his wife was Na‛omi, and the names of his two sons were Maḥlon and Kilyon – Ephrathites of Běyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah. And they went to the fields of Mo’aḇ and came to be there. 

Rth 1:3  And Elimeleḵ, husband of Na‛omi, died. And she was left with her two sons. 

Rth 1:4  And they took wives of the women of Mo’aḇ, the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. 

Rth 1:5  And Maḥlon and Kilyon also died, both of them, so the woman was bereaved of her two sons and of her husband. 

Moreover, when Naomi returned back all the city it says all the city was moved because of them. This word hum הום H1949 translated as 'moved' in English is in a negative sense and means 'to make an uproar, or agitate greatly: - destroy, move, make a noise, put, ring again'. We also see Naomi not being humble in what she went through and blamed Elohim for the evil brought on her.

Rth 1:19  And both of them went until they came to Běyth Leḥem. And it came to be, when they had come to Běyth Leḥem, that all the city was moved/hum הום H1949 because of them, and they said, “Is this Na‛omi?” 

Rth 1:20  And she said to them, “Do not call me Na‛omi, call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 

Rth 1:21  “I went out filled, and יהוה has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Na‛omi, since יהוה has witnessed against me, and the Almighty has done evil to me?

Machlon מַחְלוֹן H4248 means 'sick' from chalah חָלָה H2470 which means to be weak, sick, afflicted

Chilyon כִּלְיוֹן H3630 from H3631 same word meaning 'pining, destruction: - consumption, failing'. The root word is 'chalah כָּלָה H3615' cease, consume (away), determine, destroy (utterly), be (when . . . were) done, (be an) end (of), expire, (cause to) fail, faint, finish.

Which parents name their children negatively? Unless they fell short of obedience to Torah which caused them to experience scarcity of food in the land and they decided to sojourn Heshbon the Reubenite land termed as plains of Moab.

Isaiah 5:8 says Woe to those who join house to house

Deu 19:14  “Do not remove your neighbour’s boundary, which those in the past have set, in your inheritance which you inherit in the land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess. 

The land was not to be sold as it belonged to Yahuah 

Lev 25:23  ‘And the land is not to be sold beyond reclaim, for the land is Mine, for you are sojourners and settlers with Me. 

Lev 25:24  ‘And provide for a redemption for the land, in all the land of your possession. 

Isaiah 5:8 says Woe to those....who add field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 

According to Torah the edges of the field had to be left for the poor of the land to glean

Lev 19:9  ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land, do not completely reap the corners of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. 

Lev 19:10  ‘And do not glean your vineyard or gather every grape of your vineyard, leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim

Lev 23:22  ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” 

We saw Yahuah's promise of a triple harvest in the 48th year to sustain YasharEL through the 49th and 50th years in a jubilee cycle.

Leviticus 25:21 – "I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years."

The Torah of sin and death into which YasharEL entered came with blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience

Deu 28:16  "Cursed are you in the city, and cursed are you in the field/sadah סדה H7704. 

Deu 28:18  "Cursed is the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. 

Scriptures are silent on Elimelech, Naomi, Machlon and Chilyon as to whether they were disobedient to Torah, but they definitely fell into the binding Torah of sin and death and hence, Boaz a type of Mashiyach came in to release Ruth from the Torah of sin and death into the Torah of life of abundance in Mashiyach. Boaz was a rich man and his behavior shows his obedience to Torah when he tells his young men to purposely drop the sheaves so that Ruth could glean. We also see his compassion in coming forward to be a kinsman redeemer to buy back the piece of field as well as Ruth when it was not binding on him to do so as he was not a brother of Machlon as per Torah of the dead brother law.

The fact that Elimelech and his family experienced scarcity of food in the land and leasing out the land to move to the Reubenite territory, the city making a noise or in uproar when Naomi came back, Naomi blaming Elohim for the evil brought on her and her family, Elimelech and Naomi naming their sons negatively, Naomi selling the piece of field which was not supposed to be done etc. shows they were under a curse of disobedience to the Torah of sin and death. She realized it and sought a kinsman redeemer as Torah in compassion made a provision for redemption.

Isaiah in 5:8 lists down the curse on Yasharal termed as vineyard of Yahuah, as the inhabitants were disobedient to the Torah of Yahuah. 

Isa 5:7  For the vineyard of יהוה of hosts is the house of Yisra’ěl, and the man of Yehuḏah is His pleasant plant. He looked for right-ruling, but see, oppression; for righteousness, but see, weeping. 

While the measurement of Elimelech's field is not given, and the judgement listed is for Yasharal, yet in the judgement we see the produce of the land as a curse.

Isa 5:10  “For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, and an ḥomer of seed yields one ěphah.” 

Eze 45:11  “Let the ěphah and the bath be of the same measure, so that the bath contains one-tenth of a ḥomer, and the ěphah one-tenth of a ḥomer. Let their measure be according to the ḥomer. 

According to Ezekiel 45:11, 1 homer = 10 bath and 1 homer = 10 ephah and bath and ephah were to be of the same measure. Isaiah says 'an homer of seed = 1 ephah' whereas it should be 10 ephah to be in fruitfulness when in obedience.

According to Torah (Leviticus 27), the Torah sets the standard at 50 shekels per homer of barley seed. 1 homer is the amount of land that requires one homer of barley seed to sow.

Example: Please take this as an example only as we are not given information of how many acres of land Elimelech owned and how many years were remaining unto jubilee (Boaz would have known)

As per Isaiah 5:10 'ten acres' is roughly 4 homers of barley seed

4 homers × 50 sheqels per homer (Lev 27:16) =200 shekels (this is a base valuation)

If the land is redeemed before the Jubilee, the price is reduced based on the number of years left.

The formula for depreciation:

Adjusted Value = ( Years Remaining / 50 ​) × Base Value

Example: If 30 years remain until the next Jubilee:

As per formula above: 30/50 x 200  = 120 sheqels

Since Isaiah prophesies about the vineyard of Yahuah, this land is set-apart (unlike Elimelech's field which was family inheritance). Hence, here we need to add 20% or 1/5th as per Lev 27:19

Lev 27:19  ‘And if he who sets the field apart ever wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his. 

120 sheqels x 1/5th or 20% = 24 sheqels​. Hence, 120 + 24 sheqels = 144 sheqels.

The land typology of New Yerushalayim:

We saw that the land belonged to Yahuah and was never to be sold but leased. It foreshadowed New Yerushalayim which was set-apart. Whether YasharEL in the land or out of the land, it's Shemitah was kept by Yahuah Himself  & hence, we cannot evaluate the total barley yield of the land .

Rev 21:16  And the city (New Yerushalayim) lies four-cornered, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod: twelve thousand stadion/G4712 – the length, and the breadth, and height of it are equal.

According to Greek 1 stadion = 185–192 meters

The Romans adopted the stadion -1 Roman stadion = 185 meters

Hence, 12,000 stadion will be 12,000 x 185 meters =2,220,000 meters = 2,220 km

stadion G4712 is a prolonged form of stao  which means 'to stand/abide/appoint/continue/covenant/establish/hold up'

Whilst one would interpret and calculate as per Greek or Roman measures, we should also see that spiritually 12,000 stadion means 12,000 covenanted/established/appointed etc. people of Yahuah where 12 is the number of congregation of Yahuah (12 tribes/12 apostles of the Lamb) x 1,000 their complete number (as number 10, 100 & 1,000 speak of completeness).

In a literal calculation of 12,000 stadion where 1 stadion = 185 meters & 12,000 stadion is about 2,220 kilometers (~1,380 miles) is not possible as New Yerushalayim is a perpetual Sabbath rest with no sowing or reaping.

From scriptural estimates as per Isaiah 5 we can only gather what was required in a literal sowing and reaping in the land i.e. 1 homer of barley seed was used for about 2.5 acres of land (we saw example of 10 acres needing 4 homers of barley seed, If we divide 10 acres /2.5 acres we get 4 homers of barley seed).

In conclusion, Yahusha ha Mashiyach is seen concealed in the Torah to release His people from the Torah of sin and death. He was priced at a splendid price of 30 sheqels of silver thrown into the potters field (for His distressed people) which was in the house of Yahuah. The land occupied by YasharEL was His and He kept and is still keeping the Shemitah perfectly even though His people are in dispersion & the price paid for the land was determined by the great drops of blood which fell from his sweat when in the garden on the night He was betrayed, and also the blood shed which fell on the ground during his agony towards the stake and on the stake. It’s a price that cannot be estimated by man as the land was His and transitions into New Yerushalyim the perpetual Sabbath Rest. We see this through the example of Boaz coming in as a kinsman redeemer to Ruth and the land as to keep the inheritance within the Elimelech family who were Ephratithes of Bayt Lacham and from him and Ruth came king David who was after the Malchitsedek priesthood of Mashiyach and he was both an Ephrathtie (first born son of Yoseph to whom was promised the birth right) as well as a Yahudite from where the Malchitsedek priesthood sprang up, the tribe Masha (Moses) never spoke of the springing up of this priesthood.

Summary :

• Context of Redemption in Ruth:

• Boaz publicly declares to the elders and people that he has purchased all that belonged to Elimelech, Chilyon, and Mahlon from Naomi (Ruth 4:9).

• He also acquires Ruth as his wife to preserve the name of the deceased Mahlon, fulfilling a redeemer’s role (Ruth 4:10).

• Elimelech and his family had left Bethlehem for Moab due to a famine, implying financial distress that led to the sale or lease of their land (Ruth 1:1-2).

• Land Redemption Details:

• Naomi sold a piece of Elimelech’s field upon returning from Moab (Ruth 4:3), though the Hebrew prefix “mem” suggests it was “out of her hand,” indicating it was no longer in her possession (Ruth 4:9).

• Torah (Leviticus 25:23-28) states land belongs to Elohim and can only be leased until the Jubilee Year, when it reverts to the original owner.

• The price of redemption is based on the years of crops remaining until Jubilee, calculated as barley yield × shekel rate per homer (Leviticus 25:15-16).

• Bethlehem, at the time of the Judges, was an unwalled village, so the land was a “field” (not a house in a walled city), redeemable anytime before Jubilee (Leviticus 25:29-30).

• Ruth’s Redemption:

• Boaz’s redemption of Ruth aligns with a Levirate-like custom (Deuteronomy 25:5-10), though not strictly applicable as he was not Mahlon’s brother.

• The custom of sandal exchange (Ruth 4:7) signifies a voluntary redemption, distinct from the obligatory Levirate law involving chalitsah (sandal removal and spitting).

• Torah (Leviticus 27:4) sets the redemption price for a female at 30 shekels of silver, which Boaz implicitly vows to pay under oath to Yahuah (Ruth 3:13), foreshadowing Yahusha’s price of 30 silver pieces (Zechariah 11:12-13, Matthew 27:3-7).

• Spiritual and Prophetic Significance:

• Elimelech’s family may have faced scarcity due to disobedience to Torah, falling under the curse of Deuteronomy 28, necessitating redemption by Boaz, a type of Mashiyach.

• Boaz’s act ensures the inheritance remains in Elimelech’s line, leading to King David and ultimately Yahusha ha Mashiyach (Ruth 4:17-22).

• The land typifies New Jerusalem, an eternal Sabbath rest, with its value tied to Yahusha’s blood, an inestimable price (Revelation 21:16).

• Price Estimation:

• Land value: Unknown due to unspecified years until Jubilee and field size, but higher due to many years remaining, calculated as barley yield × 50 shekels/homer (Leviticus 27:16).

• Ruth’s value: 30 shekels of silver, per Torah evaluation, prophetically linked to Yahusha’s betrayal price, cast into the potter’s field for the distressed (Matthew 27:7).

• Conclusion:

• Boaz’s redemption prefigures Yahusha, who redeems His people from the Torah of sin and death, securing an eternal inheritance in New Jerusalem, a land of perpetual rest kept by Yahuah Himself.
