9. Ruth, the young woman from Moab
After having lived many years in the land of Moab, and the death
of her husband and her two sons, Naomi, now an older woman
was returning to her homeland in Israel. Travelling with her was
Ruth, a young woman, the wife of one of Naomi’s deceased sons.
Though Naomi had suggested to both of her daughter-in-laws to
stay in their own country of Moab, Ruth chose to go with Naomi to
her home in Israel. “Do not urge me to leave you, for where you go
I will go. Your people shall be my people and your God my God,”
said Ruth to Naomi.
After the long journey, they arrived in Bethlehem during the
harvest season. Because they were poor, Ruth went to glean grain
left on the ground after the men had harvested the fields. There
one day she meets Boaz, a land owner and relative of Naomi’s
deceased husband.
Boaz and Ruth love each other and soon decide to be married.
Together they had a son, called Obed, who was to be the
grandfather of King David. And as this same line of family
members went on for many generations, it one day had born to it a
special baby, Jesus.
