Was the marriage of Boaz and Ruth’s form of Levirate marriage?

Here we go loopedy doo, here we go looepedy lah…..

The whole question is whether or not Ruth and Boaz were a Levirate situation. If they’re not then they can’t be used as an example of Levirate marriage.

Would you say Levirate adjacent? Maybe not exact prescription, but close enough to the legal description as to be seen as being on the target, just not the bullseye?

Nope. I maintain that that was all about the land and keeping it in the tribe.
