Summary of Ruth

I wrote the summary of Ruth. I think I have lotta of mistake. LOL.

- Summary of Ruth -

There was a famine in the land. So the one man left Bethlehem with his wife and two sons to the land called Moab. His name was Elimelech and his wife's name was Naomi. When they were living in Moab. Naomi's husband Elimelech died. Elimelech had two sons called Mahlon and Chilion, they also died after Elimelech's death. So Naomi and her sons' wives were left. Naomi told her daughters-in-law to return to their own mother's house, so one of the daughter-in-law Orpah left Naomi's house, but Ruth stayed with Naomi.

When Naomi went back to the Bethlehem with Ruth, people saw them and said "Is this Naomi?". And Ruth and Naomi started to live in Bethlehem. At Bethlehem, Naomi had a relative man called Boaz. So Ruth started glean heads of grain at Boaz's field. So Boaz gave Ruth some food to eat.

Boaz commanded his young men, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her. Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.". So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening and she had gleaned about and ephah of barley.

One day Ruth said "All that you say to me I will do." and did what Naomi told her to do. So Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there and he told to his close relative "I will redeem it.", and Boaz redeemed ?aomi's field and Ruth, because Boaz was a Goel. At the end Ruth became Boaz's wife and they had boy, so Naomi raised this boy. They called this boy Obed.
