In Joshua 5, when the Israelites were going into the land of Canaan and they circumcised themselves and consecrated themselves- that day the manna stop and from then on they are the produce of the Landįood as freedom looked like eating from the land. Ruth also benefits & meets her redeemer/husband because of the law from Leviticus & Deuteronomy.

The second movement of the story, and the ultimate resolution, is set against the backdrop of the barley harvest. Story of Ruth-the stage is set at first during a famine, which drives Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, and her husbands and sons into Moab-where Ruth is brought into the family. How much they cut was a reflection of their generosity and faith in God as their provider. In Leviticus and Deuteronomy, it was commanded that people not cut/harvest the corners of their field so that the poor, aliens, and widows could eat. Hunger and poverty will cause us to self protect over trusting and serving. Jesus feeding the 5k from a few loaves and fish made the people want to make him king by force by overthrowing Rome and have their own food security, instead of depending on Rome for it. Joseph and Pharaoh-Joseph had power right alongside power, and he control the food storage and distribution during a widespread famine. It is the root of the power structure of the world. Those In power are those who determine who has it and who does not. How many of you have grown a garden? It’s not easy! Knowing where your next food comes from becomes empowering, and if you don’t, it becomes all-encompassing.įood involves many moving parts: grower/producer, processors/ storage, buyer & sellers, consumers.
