this Naomi who's Naomi Naomi had two sons I married one orpa married the other then both sons died so Naomi whose own husband had dieded years before had no one to look after her she decided to return to her family's home in Bethlehem my sister-in-law and I wanted to come with her but she stopped us don't you want to go back home to your own mothers may the Lord give each of you another husband in a home of your own my sister-in-law went back home but I stayed with Naomi wherever you go I will go wherever whever you live I will live your people will be my people and your God will be my god when

you like a giz malicious Glacier cone you don't even see it do you Chris see what how hard Ruth Works how committed she is to her family she gave up everything when she came here so Naomi wouldn't be

offered her a glacier cone yeah and look how she repays me I am not selfish I'm not [Music] [Music] oh [Music] tomorrow is the last day of the Harvest yes and it was especially good that Boaz was able to let you glean all season long Ruth it's time I found you a husband who will give you a home and take care of you a husband a husband a husband tonight Boaz will be winnowing barley at the threshing floor now do as I tell you put on perfume and dress in your nicest clothes then go to the threshing floor but don't let Boaz see you until he has finished eating and drinking he will sleep there to protect his crops from [Music] thieves be sure to notice where he lies down then go and uncover his feet stay there and Boaz will tell you what to [Music] [Music] do Joy look it appears Ruth has found Boaz yep and it appears I found the perfect spot for a little shedi wake me if anything interesting happens who are you I am your servant Ruth spread the corner of your covering over me for you are a close relative what is she doing Ruth is following an ancient Israelite custom when a man wants to marry a woman he covers her with his cloak to claim her as his bride she's proposing to him it would appear so the Lord bless you this shows how loyal you are to your family you could have looked for a younger man but you didn't it's true that I am one of the relatives that is supposed to take care of you but there is someone who is an even closer relative stay here until morning then I will find out if you're other relative is willing to look after you huh he is not going to marry her but he said he's supposed to take care of her if he isn't I Promise by the Living God to do it myself now go back to sleep until morning wow that wasn't what I expected to happen What About You Chris oh uh well Boaz is following the customs and if Ruth's other relative will take care of her then and Boaz will not get to marry Ruth and after all he has done for her and how much he cares about her Joy wake up Ruth is [Music] leaving Chris come on we have to go okay okay I'm right behind [Music] you Ruth so what happened are you going to marry him I don't know yet just be patient my daughter until
