The narrative begins by introducing the concept of knowing one's ancestors and highlights that Ruth, despite her idolatrous past, eventually worships the Living God of Israel. The story unfolds during a time of famine in Israel, prompting Elimelech and his family to move to Moab. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes, with Elimelech and his two sons dying in Moab. This leaves his wife, Naomi, with her two Moabite daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orphah. Naomi decides to return to Bethlehem, urging her daughters-in-law to stay with their own families. Orphah complies, but Ruth demonstrates profound loyalty and devotion, famously declaring she will never leave Naomi and will adopt Naomi's God. Upon their return to Bethlehem, Naomi expresses her bitterness due to her hardships, asking to be called 'Marah' instead of 'Naomi.' The story emphasizes Ruth's hard work and dedication as she gleans leftover grain in the fields to provide for Naomi, showcasing her transformation and commitment to her new faith and family. The narrative sets the stage for Ruth's significant role in the lineage of David and ultimately, Jesus, underscoring themes of loyalty, faith, and redemption.","16 Ruth: A Love Story  \nWritten by Edward Hughes [www.bibleforchildren.org](www.bibleforchildren.org) 16/60  \nEnglish Story Book  \nIf you could meet your greatgrandparents, their parents, and all the people who came before you in your family, you might be surprised by what kind of people they were . In the Bible, one of Jesus' human ancestors was Ruth – a Moabite lady who used to worship idols .  \nThe story of Ruth starts in Israel after the time of Samson, when God's people stopped trusting and obeying God. A terrible famine struck the land. Do you know what a famine is? That's right! A famine is when no fruit or crops grow, and animals and sometimes even people die from hunger.  \nOne man, Elimelech, left Bethlehem with his wife and two sons, looking for food. He went to Moab, a country where people worshipped idols .  \nThings did not go well for Elimelech and his family in Moab. He died, followed by his two sons .  \nELIMELECH CHILION  \nMAHLON  \nHis wife, Naomi, was left, along with the sons' two wives, Ruth and Orphah. Both girls were from Moab.  \nCHILION  \nELIMELECH  \nMAHLON  \nNaomi, now a widow, heard that the LORD had visited His people, giving them bread. She decided to return to her homeland. But what would the two girls do? Naomi advised them to stay in Moab and marry again .  \nOrphah went back to her own family. But Ruth refused. Instead, Ruth said a lovely poem which promised she would never leave her mother-in-law .  \nNaomi's old friends were glad that she had come home to Bethlehem . But she asked them to call her “Marah”(bitter) instead of Naomi (pleasant) .“For the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.” Naomi had returned with nothingexcept Ruth.  \nAlthough Ruth had worshipped idols like most people in Moab, she had turned from that to worship the Living God of Israel. Ruth worked hard to make sure Naomi had enough to eat. Every day she followed the harvesters in the field and picked up the left-over grain .","cbCaivlRwCBqWW0F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivlRwCBqWW0F","pdf",1757405,3,1,24,"English","en",105,"# Ruth: A Love Story\n## Background\n## Tragedy in Moab\n## Ruth's Loyalty\n## Return to Bethlehem","[{\"question\":\"Who was Ruth?\",\"answer\":\"Ruth was a Moabite woman who eventually became a worshipper of the Living God of Israel and an ancestor of Jesus.
