Ruth, meaning " friend ", pledges loyalty to Naomi, and Boaz, " fleetness " or " strength is ( in ) him " or " he comes in strength " becomes the kinsman redeemer, while Obed's name appropriately means " servant.

His decision was primarily a financial decision since a child born to Ruth through the union would inherit Elimelech's land, and he would not be reimbursed for the money he paid Naomi.
