From www.ebible.org with slight reformatting by Martin Ward
"The World English Bible (WEB): Ruth" by Anonymous is a biblical text traditionally attributed to the time of the Judges of Israel, which is believed to have occurred in the early Iron Age. This book is a historical narrative that tells the story of Ruth, a Moabite woman who becomes a key figure in the lineage of King David. It explores themes of loyalty, love, and redemption, illustrating how personal choices can have profound implications for family and community. The narrative begins with Naomi, a widow who, after losing her husband and two sons, decides to return to Bethlehem from Moab with her loyal daughter-in-law, Ruth. Ruth's devotion to Naomi is unwavering, famously declaring that her people and God will be Naomi's as well. Upon returning to Bethlehem, Ruth gleans in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Naomi, who takes notice of her dedication and kindness. As the story unfolds, through Naomi's guidance, Ruth proposes marriage to Boaz, who redeems both her and Naomi’s family name by marrying Ruth. Ultimately, Ruth gives birth to Obed, the grandfather of David, thus revealing her critical role in the ancestral lineage of one of Israel’s greatest kings.
