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

What is the setting of the story of Ruth?
Answer # 1The setting of Ruth is defined in the opening of the first chapter.1) Ruth occurred during the days of the Judges, before the Kings2) Men of Bethlehemjudah, during a time of famine, went to sojourn in the country of Moab. Bethlehem Judah is on the outskirts of Jerusalem. So you have people from the land of Israel going to the land of Moab3) Ruth is from Moab, Moab was the incestuous son of Lot via his daughters (Genesis 19) (Lot and his two daughters escaped from Sodom and thought its destruction was the end of most of mankind... Imagine being witness to our Father's destruction of an entire kingdom, such as Sodom). Lot was Abrahams nephew. (Genesis 12),Now. understand why Noah was chosen ... he was perfect in his generations (Genesis 6)... to who? He was perfect in his generations to the 8th day man Adam (man formed to till the soil - Genesis 2). Christ was also perfect in his generations from the same Adam (eth ha adam). The fallen angels defined in Genesis 6, did not interrupt the blood line to Christ. Roth and Boaz were part of that pure blood line. the book of Luke (3:32) defines that blood line which extends to Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. Booz is the Greek spelling for Boaz.Understand this setting defined in the book of Ruth. (Get a Strong's concordance-dictionary and look up these names)Naomi's sons are defined as being Ephrathites, (of Ephraim, son of Joseph, receiver of the covenant - Genesis 49). Its important not to miss this point, as the covenant ran from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob (Israel) then to Ephraim where it rests even until today.Naomi is the wife of ElimelechNaomi has two sons who mary, one of them marrying RuthAll of the Men die - Naomi's Husband and her sons.Naomi returns to JudahNaomi gives her two daughters in law release to return to the house of their husbands .. Ephraim.This is the important verse: 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 lodges, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people and thy God shall be my God.Got it?The two go to Bethlehem and live with a kinsman of Naomi's husband named Boaz.Now read the response from Boaz in Ruth 2:11 and you will start to understand further.Ruth is an example of a woman with good moral character, and honest and humble to the core. Are these qualities found in Mary, mother to Christ, as she is defined in the book of Luke?Answer # 1 Ends
