ArchivesRe: meaning of "Boaz"
in reply to a message by Yahalome
Maya,
On the Biblehub website, it uses Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and Brown-Driver-Briggs Concordance. I think this helps you see that Boaz's name probably does mean something like swift and strong since Jewish people today attribute it to mean strength, the root word also comes from swiftness/quickness and how Boaz is the name for the pillar in front of the temple. It makes sense to how quickly Boaz married Ruth in the Bible. Once she pointed out how he was the Kinsmen Redeemer for their family, he got it settled in court that day! It's interesting that the pillar to the Temple is named after him since a pillar holds something up and through him, King David and Jesus were born... very interesting!!!
