Is the name "Booz" supposed to be some sort of play on words or is the guy really that ignorant?




Well, someone's ignorant. Check Matthew 1:5. You'll find old Booz there in the geneology leading to Jesus.

It's always good to check before writing.

Oh, really. In the book of Ruth which is the author's reference the name in the KJV as well as other popular translations is always rendered Boaz. Only in Mt and Lu is the Gr name Boes or Boos translated Booz in a few renderings of the KJV. But Booz sounds so much more clever.

Didn't he mean Boaz, from the Book of Ruth, if I recall correctly?

Hi Mineral. Lotsa English translations show it as 'Boaz' with an 'a'.

This comment reminds me of the firm Booz, Allen, & Hamilton -- or, more simply, 'BAH' !

Cheeres!
