Ruth is a beautiful pastoral idyll telling the story of Ruth, the Moabitess, and her mother-in-law Naomi. The two women return to Naomi’s homeland, Judah, where Ruth, the foreigner, marries Boaz. Ruth was the great-grandmother of David, the ancestor of Jesus.

Ruth 2

2:22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
