Bo'az. (fleetness).

1. A wealthy Bethlehemite, kinsman to Elimelech, the husband of Naomi. He married Ruth, and redeemed the estates of her deceased husband, Mahlon. Ruth 4:1. Boaz is mentioned in the genealogy of Christ, Matthew 1:5. (B.C. 1250, but there is great difficulty in assigning his date).
