Who was Ruth?

Imagine a family from Bethlehem – Elimelech, his wifeNaomi, and their two sons – who leave their homeland due to a famine and settlein Moab, a foreign land. There, the sons marry Moabite women, Orpah and Ruth.Tragically, within ten years, Elimelech and both sons die, leaving Naomi,Orpah, and Ruth as widows, devoid of male protectors and providers.

With nothing left in Moab, Naomi decides to return toher homeland, the land of Judah. She urged her two daughters-in-law to stay inMoab, to return to their own families. Orpah, though sad, eventually chose togo back to her people and her gods. But Ruth, a Moabite herself, made adifferent choice – a choice that would echo through history.
