Bible Study Birthplace of Jesus

[WordsintoHarmony]

If I'm correct isn't this the area where Boaz had lived? Wasn't he also from Judea and Ephrathite?
Boaz is in the line of Jesus who is the son of Rahab. Just imagine now what if Jesus was born on the same property
and the same field that Ruth was gathering the wheat and barley for the harvest.
This would be almost like a signature of Jesus because Boaz used to put the wheat in the threshing floor.
Which reminds me of this verse Matt.3:12

For in his hand is a winnowing fan. For he shall clean the threshing floor and he shall store the wheat in the ban
and the chaff in unquenchable fire.
Isn't that amzing that Boaz was an Ephratite a citizen of judea a rich man who owned the field.
I think it's very likely that if Jesus was born among the animals and he represents the winnowing fan separating the wheat and the tare that
he could have been born in the field among the animals.

And you know this kind of makes sense because Boaz is the father of Obed and Obed is the father of Jessie. Another poster here said he would be from the line of Jessie.
Jessie is the grandson of Boaz.
If that's the case don't you think that Jessie would have been in the inheirtance of the property because Boaz helped Ruth keep this field in the line of the inheirtance?

that doesn't mean that boaz or another didn't get more land or moved. david took jebus in war and that became the city of david , plus he reigned over isreal.

No Jesus was not born in a field, they were in town and there would not have been a manager in a wheat field.
Yes, Boaz owned fields and then he bought Ruth's.
Yes, these properties were very likely passed down as an inheritance to each generation, usually to the oldest son I believe.
So it would have been very likely for King David to come from the same area his family before him had lived.
(Even in this country now, many families have many generations who have stayed in a small area. Especially farming/ranching families.)
I do find it how amazing how God's plans are achieved, how He works things out. In this case the census bring Mary back to Bethlehem to give birth.

I find your thoughts about the winnowing fan, Jesus, and the wheat and chaff, and the wheat fields of Boaz interesting. I had never thought about it that way.
