The Book of Ruth


Eli and his wife, Naomi leave Bethlehem with their family due to famine.  They move to Mohab where Eli's sons marry.  Eli and his sons eventually die leaving the women to fend for themselves.  Naomi feels out of place and decides to go back to Bethlehem since the famine is over.  One of Naomi's daughters in law, Ruth, decides to go with her even though she tells Ruth to stay in Mohab.  Ruth takes care of Naomi by getting a job and marrying a distant relative of Eli's to keep the blood line going.  She eventually has a son with this man. The end.
