Ruth

During the time of the Judges there was a famine in the land. Because of the famine an Israelite named Elimelech and his wife Naomi moved to Moab to live. During that time their two sons married Moabite women. The wives names were Orpha and Ruth. The book of Ruth tells about her faithfulness to her mother-in-law and how God blessed her. When Naomi's husband and two sons died Ruth determined to go back to Israel with Naomi.

Read what Ruth says to Naomi in Ruth 1:16 (NIV) and fill in the blanks.

". . .  Where you go  __   __ __ __ __   __ __ ,
and where you stay  __  __ __ __ __   __ __ __ __ .
Your people will be   __ __   __ __ __ __ __ __
and your God   __ __   __ __ __  . . ."

God blessed Ruth in her life in Bethlehem.
She married an Israelite named Boaz and they had a son named Obed.
Read the book of Ruth chapters 2, 3 and 4 for the story of how this happened.
