How did Ruth treat her family?

There was a famine in the era of the Judges. A prominent man named Elimelech went to wait out the lean years in the neighboring land of Moab, with his wife (Naomi) and two sons. The sons married Moabite women and later died, and Elimelech also died.Naomi decided to return to Israel, and her daughter-in-law, Ruth the Moabitess, accompanied her with the intention of converting to Judaism. The two were penniless, and supported themselves by gleaning grain (Leviticus 23:22) in other people's fields. Naomi advised Ruth to glean in the field of Boaz, since he was a relative of Elimelech.Boaz commanded his field-workers to be considerate toward her.Naomi, seeking a husband for the young Ruth, sent her to Boaz's threshing-floor when he would be there, in the hope that he would want to marry her. Boaz informed her that there was another relative who, according to custom, had prerogative to redeem Elimelech's field and marry her. The next day, the other man refused to take Ruth, and she and Boaz were married.More information:Ruth was a superlative servant of God.Naomi and her family had sojourned in Moab during a famine. Ruth, a Moabitess, became Naomi's daughter-in-law. She had had a long stretch of time during which she observed Naomi's righteousness, and she (Ruth) became convinced that she must serve the One God and abandon her former idolatry. She went on to become so righteous that God made her the ancestress of King David.See also the Related Links.Link: The JudgesLink: More about the Hebrew Bible

Why cant seraphim and cherubims be kinsman redeemers?

The seraphim and cherubim are servants of God, but not human. They are on the order of angels, therefore are not in the "line" of humans. In other words, they cannot redeem because they are a different "species" than man. The kinsman must be human to redeem, as is shown by the story of Ruth and Boaz. Boaz redeemed Ruth's inheritance by marrying her. On the same vein, the Kinsman Redeemer must be human to redeem mankind. Since the first human made the sin, the sacrifice must be made by the "Son of Man". This is the reason for the geneology in Matthew, to prove that Jesus was the "son" of Adam.
