It begins with famine in Israel before kings and judges, leading Elimelech of Bethlehem to take Naomi and their two sons to Moab for food. After Elimelech dies, Naomi is left with her sons, who later marry Moabite women, Orpah and Ruth. When the sons die and famine ends, Naomi learns of renewed crops in Israel and returns toward Judah with her daughters-in-law.","041 The Story of Ruth  \nRuth 1-4  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n041 The Story of Ruth  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Orpah was the name of one of them and Ruth was the name of the other.  \nAbout ten years later, Naomi’s two sons also died. So then, this left Naomi alone with only her two Moabite daughters-in-law.  \nAfter some time, the famine passed. Naomi heard that the Lord had blessed the Israelites with good crops. She and her daughters-in-law left Moab and set out on the road that led back to Judah.","cbCaihjCrmLo3rrV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihjCrmLo3rrV","pdf",9285429,1,50,"English","en",105,"# Narrative Background\n## Famine and Departure to Moab\n## Deaths and Family Loss\n## Return Toward Judah","[{\"question\":\"What causes Elimelech and his family to leave Bethlehem?\",\"answer\":\"A famine occurs in the land before Israel had a king, so Elimelech takes his wife Naomi and their two sons to Moab where food is available.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are Orpah and Ruth in the story?\",\"answer\":\"Orpah and Ruth are the two Moabite women Naomi’s sons marry, with Orpah being one and Ruth being the other.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the story set up Naomi’s return to Judah?\",\"answer\":\"After the famine passes, Naomi hears that the Lord has blessed Israel with good crops, so she leaves Moab and travels back toward Judah with her daughters-in-law.\"}]",1784126649,126,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"the-story-of-ruth","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,53,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-story-of-ruth/80143/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What causes Elimelech and his family to leave Bethlehem?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"A famine occurs in the land before Israel had a king, so Elimelech takes his wife Naomi and their two sons to Moab where food is available.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Who are Orpah and Ruth in the story?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Orpah and Ruth are the two Moabite women Naomi’s sons marry, with Orpah being one and Ruth being the other.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does the story set up Naomi’s return to Judah?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"After the famine passes, Naomi hears that the Lord has blessed Israel with good crops, so she leaves Moab and travels back toward Judah with her daughters-in-law.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,96,100,104,109,113,118,123,126,129,133],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":21,"slug":112},6,"Technology","technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":128},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":132},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":136},19,"General","general"]
