How did Ruth treat her family?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Ruth is an amazing woman of The Bible....after her husband died, her widow mother-in-law, Naomi was going to let her and her sister-in-law go back to their country, because they were still young and could get re-married and have children. When Naomi presented them with her biding, both daughter-in-laws refused. But after a little coaxing, the other daughter-in-law went. Ruth still put her foot down. "And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." Ruth 1:16. Naomi finally let her go with her, and they settled in Bethlehem. Ruth later on ended up marrying a man named Boaz, and had a son named Obed. Read Ruth in The Bible for the whole story. Obed became part of an important line. His son was Jesse; and Jesse's son was David, who was the family line of Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

Ruth was a woman from Moab who was first married to Mahlon of Judah. She was widowed. Her mother-in-law, Naomi, returned to her homeland and Ruth accompanied her. Naomi urged Ruth to return to her own people and god, which evoked the response (in Ruth 1:16 - 17) that Ruth is best known for:

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

In Bethlehem, Ruth married a relative of Naomi's named Boaz. In this way, the gentile Ruth became part of the heritage of Christ himself. She subsequently became the mother of Obed, the grandmother of Jesse, and the great-grandmother of King David.

*********************

The book of Ruth is the history of the family of Elimelech, who in the days of the Judges, because of a famine, went away from Bethlehem to dwell in the land of Moab. There his two sons married Moabite wives, and died, as did also their father. Naomi, the mother, returned to Bethlehem, and Ruth, one of her widowed daughters-in-law, came with her. Ruth, when gleaning in the field of Boaz, a kinsman of Elimelech, found favor with him. Naomi planned that Boaz should marry Ruth, and he was ready to do so, if a nearer kinsman, to whom the right belonged according to the law in Deut. 25:5-10, declined. He did decline, and so Ruth became the wife of Boaz. Her son was Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of David. The book appears to be intended to connect the history of David with the earlier times, and also to form a contrast, in its peaceful and pastoral simplicity, to the disorders of which we read so continually in the Book of Judges.

The story of Ruth beautifully illustrates the conversion of a non-Israelite into the fold of Israel, giving up her former god and former life to unite with the household of faith in the service of the God of Israel (see Ruth 1:16).
Ruth was the Moabitess woman who was widowed after the loss of her husband along with her sister-in-law's husband (brother) and her father-in-law (the father of the sons and Naomi's husband.) Through all trial and hurt, in the end of the book, Ruth is converted to being a Jew instead of a heathenish Moabitess (for the Moabites were not God's chosen people.) She marries a relative of Naomi's who is an heir to the land and riches left behind by Ruth's former husband. Her new husband's name is Boaz. She was part of the lineage of Jesus Christ becuase she was King David's ancestor and Jesus came from the seed of David.

Answer 4

Though Ruth was an Moabite, and not born a worshiper of Israel's God(YHWH)(Ruth 1:22), she is famous for her chosen loyalty to the God of Israel(1 Kings 8:41), and to her mother-in-law, Naomi (Ruth 1:14-17/ Ruth 2:12). Later she was rewarded for her faith by becoming the Great Grandmother of King David(Ruth 4:13-17) and an ancestress of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 1:5,6 +16)

Answer 5

Ruth left her homeland of Moab and her relatives as well, and returned with Naomi back to Naomis country. God used Ruth as David was related to Ruth and ultimately Jesus was born of Davids line.

Answer 6

Very good because.....Ruth wasn't a Hebrew and after her husband died (he was a hebrew) Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, resettled in Isreal. Ok you can do the rest I got you guys started. Haha:] : /
