| Summary | "The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 08: Ruth" is a religious text that is part of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate and published in the early 17th century. This book is a narrative focused on themes of faith, loyalty, and divine providence, set in the historical context of ancient Israel during the era of the judges. The story highlights a significant figure, Ruth, a Moabite woman who becomes an ancestor of King David and, by extension, Jesus Christ. The Book of Ruth tells the poignant story of Ruth, a Moabite widow, who chooses to remain loyal to her Israelite mother-in-law, Naomi, after their husbands die. Following Naomi's return to Bethlehem from Moab, Ruth works in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Naomi's late husband. Boaz notices Ruth's dedication and kindness toward Naomi and subsequently offers her protection and provision. Under Naomi's guidance, Ruth claims her rights as a relative through a levirate marriage custom, leading to her marriage with Boaz. Their union results in the birth of Obed, who becomes the grandfather of David, thereby fulfilling God's plan and showcasing the theme of inclusivity, as Ruth, a foreigner, becomes part of the lineage of Israel’s greatest king.
