Ruth

The Book of Ruth is a poignant narrative set during the time of the Judges in Israel, a period marked by social and moral chaos. It tells the story of Naomi, a widow from Bethlehem, and her Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth. After the death of her husband and sons, Naomi decides to return to Bethlehem from Moab, urging her daughters-in-law to stay in their homeland. Orpah, one of the daughters-in-law, decides to stay, but Ruth, in a profound act of loyalty, pledges to accompany Naomi, declaring that Naomi’s people and God will be hers as well.
