About this episode

In this Bible Story, Naomi loses everything because of the death of her husband and two sons, and the only person to remain faithful to her was Ruth, her daughter-in-law. Both Ruth and Naomi venture to Bethlehem, Naomi’s hometown. There, Ruth works the fields of a kind and noble-man named Boaz. This story is inspired by Ruth 1-2.

Today's Bible verse is Ruth 1:17 from the King James Version.

Episode 73: During the time the Judges ruled, we learn of a man named Elimelek, who left the land of Israel during a famine and settled in the land of Moab with his wife Naomi and their two sons. While they were in the land of Moab, Naomi’s two sons married and died, as did her husband. Heartbroken, she decided to return to the land of Bethlehem and encouraged her daughters-in-law to stay behind and find new men to marry. But Ruth shows us what faithfulness looks like. She stays with Naomi and comforts her in her time of grieving, even going to live with her in Bethlehem and working in the field of Boaz.
