Since most films tend to deviate from the original book, I encourage you to read Ruth in The Bible (feel free to read other books in the Bible as well or just read all of the Bible). We are in the last hour. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
As it is written: The name Naomi means “Pleasant, delightful, lovely.” But when the woman of Bethlehem called out “Is this Naomi?” she was quick to correct them. “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, (which means bitter) for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me” Ruth 1:20.
The Story of Ruth is a 1960 American historical romance film directed by Henry Koster, shot in CinemaScope and DeLuxe Color, and released by 20th Century Fox. The screenplay, written by Norman Corwin, is an adaptation of the biblical Book of Ruth. The film stars Stuart Whitman as Boaz, Tom Tryon as Mahlon, Peggy Wood as Naomi, Viveca Lindfors as Eleilat, Jeff Morrow as Tob, and introduces 19-year-old Elana Eden as Ruth. Plot At approximately 8 years old, Ruth is sold by her father, as his strongest and prettiest daughter, to a priest of Chemosh, to be trained in the service of the Moabite deity. Months later, deemed the most attractive and unblemished candidate, Ruth is selected from a lineup of child priestesses in training to be sacrificed during the annual ritual to Chemosh. As soon as she is selected, a large blemish appears on Ruth's arm, and she is deemed unsuitable. Another child is sacrificed in her place. Years later, Ruth is a favored priestess serving as spiritual teacher of a young Moabite girl, Tebah, being prepared for that year’s sacrifice to Chemosh. Unhappy with the ritual crown created for Tebah, high-priestess Eleilat, along with Ruth, instruct Mahlon, a Judean artisan, to revamp the crown with jewels and glitter. Mahlon delivers the crown to Ruth at the temple, and he begins to question her about the existence of Chemosh. Ruth starts out mocking Mahlon’s “invisible god,” but ends up becoming intrigued and doubtful of her religion as time draws near for Tebah’s sacrifice. Ruth ultimately falls in love with Mahlon and disgraces herself at Tebah’s sacrifice by screaming in horror as the child is ceremonially stabbed on an altar by the high priest. Ruth flees but is captured and punished. The Moabites blame and condemn Mahlon, his father Elimelech, and brother Chilion for Ruth’s heresy. Chilion and Elimelech die in the prison, while Mahlon is condemned to the quarries for life. Ruth comes with mercenaries to free Mahlon, but he is mortally wounded as he flees the quarry. He marries Ruth in a cave soon afterwards, and promptly dies. Naomi (married to Elimelech), Orpah (married to Chilion), and Ruth are now widowed. Orpah returns to her Moabite family, and Ruth chooses to accompany Naomi to Bethlehem, famously proclaiming "Whither thou goest, I will go.” Moab and Judah are ancient enemies, and Ruth is initially met with hostility. Upon arrival, they witness Boaz, a close kinsman of Elimelech’s, punish a Moabite who has poisoned a water hole by forcing him to drink the poisoned water. When Boaz learns that Naomi has returned, he sends provisions to them, respecting his obligation as a kinsman. Believing Boaz to be fiercely anti-Moabite, Ruth compels Naomi to refuse the provisions. Captivated by Ruth’s beauty, Boaz arranges for another kinsman, Tob, to take Boaz’s provisions to Naomi and Ruth. Tob initially doesn’t want to oblige, but after seeing Ruth, Tob agrees to Boaz’s arrangement, taking credit for generosity. A wise Naomi is skeptical of Tob’s uncharacteristic caring. Meanwhile, Boaz visits Naomi and Ruth to convince them to accept his help. After Boaz assists Ruth against a mob of hostile women at a well, Ruth becomes aware of his noble nature. Eventually, Boaz and Ruth fall in love, but Tob claims his right under the laws of God to marry Mahlon’s widow as closest kinsman.

One thing I can't understand is how one can put trust and faith in a idol that doesn't move, it was crafted by man's house. God is, God is sovereign, God is creator. Even the clock is made by a designer. 😊❤JESUS is GOD he is the only way Jessy xx
@rocketscientisttoo why would anyone believe in that fallacy?? Even Darwin gave up that stupid notion shortly before his death & gave his life to Christ. Being an atheist ⚛️ requires too much stress & unnecessary work. Being a Christian ✝️ is a lot easier.
Oh Peter, I must share a different perception and understanding. There are GOD's MIRACLES throughout, they may not be the "Hollywood or sci-fi" appearing kind but GOD is doing miracles throughout in the true accounts of their lives - see the actual Bible. I'll mention just a few miracles. Book of Esther: that a child of God, an adopted and obedient daughter of the King of kings was selected among all the maidens to be the next queen. That her uncle, a scribe, was in the right place at the right time to overhear the assassination plot of two eunuch's against the king, and then report it, so that it was in the annuals, that the king "just happened" that when [God wouldn't let] the king couldn't sleep, chose to read and decided to honor and reward Mordecai, Esther's uncle/cousin, at just the right time, That the Jews would listen and pray and fast for 3 days with the queen; that the Lord gave Esther the courage to approach the king, and the right information and perfect strategy, and the council of Mordecai, to approach the king and expose Haman's manipulation to exterminate the Jewish people; that Mordecai became the grand vizier of the Persian empire...WHAT? No Miracles, but a love story. Yes, a love story of GOD for HIS people. Book of Ruth: And as for Ruth, that GOD brought Naomi back from that extreme loss and sorrow, to the land of "bread"...Bethlehem for a new start; that Ruth saw and valued the Lord God in Naomi and would choose to leave her home and go with her mother-in-law; that Boaz, an older man, noticed Ruth and wanted to keep her safe and invited her to glean only among his land...that he esteemed her for her actions to remain with Naomi and care for her; that he would yield to the request to be her covering and go before the elders to present, strategically, the proposition to marry Ruth to the next in line...I could go on. GOD works miracles in our minds, hearts, choices and decisions. These are no coincidences -- they are holy works of GOD in these people's lives, and that it both accounts became the agreed scriptures to include in the HOLY BIBLE, transcribed into our language(s) so that for generations, men, women, children, could read, learn, meditate and then later, movies created from the text for anyone to view and be curious enough to go and read the original account of their lives and how GOD, orchestrated His love and righteousness and generosity - it's quite exquisite and breath-taking. GOD, the Almighty Father, and the LORD JESUS CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT, are glorious! 🧡 Wouldn't you agree. Thanks for taking the time to read, engage and share.
I wish I had not looked to men to love me, but allowed God's love to fill me. To not look for love, but to love because of love God's love is pure. I have yet to understand love from Jesus. ❤
Although I enjoyed this movie, it is not true to the Biblical account of Ruth & Boaz. A LOT of artistic license was taken here. Read the book of Ruth in the Bible, & learn of this amazing, Godly woman.
It's a great pity that the narrative of this movie is so far removed from the truth of the Biblical account. It would have made for a great story had they stuck to the truth.
Release On June 17, 1960, The Story of Ruth premiered at the Paramount Theatre in New York City [citation needed] and on June 30, 1960, in Beverly Hills at the Fox Wilshire Theatre.[citation needed] In 2006, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment released The Story of Ruth on DVD with special features, including a preview, a trailer, and several Movietone News shorts concerning the film.[citation needed] In 2013, the DVD was re-released with new cover art but the same features as the 2006 release.[citation needed] Reception Director Henry Koster, producer Samuel G. Engel, and cameraman Arthur Arling on the set of The Story of Ruth. The Story of Ruth received favorable reviews upon release. Time considered the film "commendably unepic".[16] Variety called it "a refreshingly sincere and restrained Biblical drama, a picture that elaborates on the romantic, political and devotional difficulties encountered by the Old Testament heroine".[17] and described Elana Eden's portrayal as "a performance of dignity", projecting "an inner strength through a delicate veneer".[17] Variety also noted Peggy Wood's "excellent characterization of Naomi" and said that her "timing is always sharp".[17] Daniel A. Poling, editor of the Christian Herald, described the film as "[g]loriously cast and faultlessly directed".[18] He believed Eden's portrayal of Ruth was "worthy of an Oscar",[18] Carl Lane, writing for the Evening Independent, praised Eden's performance: "...a flesh and blood Ruth of passion and compassion, of tenderness and dignity, a woman of whom the viewer tells himself on leaving the theater: 'This is Ruth as she must have been. She could have been no other.'"[19] He also praised Wood: “(She)...creates an unforgettable character. Patience, faith, wisdom, all mature within her as the story progresses."[19] Boxoffice wrote: “This personal and human tale benefits by the realistic portrayals of the beautiful Israeli actress Miss Eden and the mature Miss Wood, who play together with touching affinity."[20] In his June 18, 1960, assessment for The New York Times, Bosley Crowther observed: “It should be apparent to anyone who has ever read the Biblical Book of Ruth that to get a screen play from it a writer would have to do a lot of reading between the lines, then put his imagination to rather extensive use. As it stands, it is…a temptingly stimulating book. … But, unfortunately, (Corwin's) interlinear reading appears to have been on the innocent side and his use of imagination circumspect and dull. “ Instead of finding “… something softly feminine and romantic, Mr. Corwin has made her out to be a somewhat metallic former high priestess of a pagan theology who backslides her own religion and is married to a Judean because of his more comforting god. The two talk religion, not sweet nothings, when they get alone beneath the stars. And you might think this same writer could have arranged for Ruth something sweet and perhaps a little racy with her late husband's kinsman, Boaz, after she has been made a widow and fled to Bethlehem with her mother-in-law. But Mr. Corwin has … concocted a rather stiff and pompous dramatic account of how the great-grandmother of King David got over being a Moabite and got herself married to a Judean by lying beside him on the threshing floor. (Mr. Corwin has not even let her go to that modest extreme. He has kept the two at arm's length, with only a tender look passing between.) And Mr. Engel and Henry Koster.. have followed a stiff and pompous line in putting a potentially romantic and poetic story on the screen. Their style, decorative and dramatic, is ornate, heavy and grim, pretentious of deep spiritual meaning but without convincing throb of flesh or soul. ”[21]

Slaughter wrote a screenplay based on his 1954 novel The Song of Ruth: A Love Story From the Old Testament.[3] Norman Corwin wrote an entirely new screenplay after summer 1958.[3] Corwin submitted his final draft of the script on September 1, 1959.[3] Production began in late November 1959 and ended in mid-February 1960.[4] In a November 30, 1959, Special to the New York Times from Hollywood, (appearing on December 1) headlined “Story of Ruth is Being Filmed,” Murray Schumack reported on his interview with Engel, who at one time considered doing the story as a musical, along the lines of South Pacific. Explaining the problem of building the box-office appeal of a Biblical story, Engel said: “It is a sweet pastoral love story. It has an underlying theme of tolerance. It has the beauty of a lovely tone poem. But even if it was blown up, I couldn't see it as a movie,” Engel told Schumack.-except as a musical. “But then I figured it would be dull…” In the end, he and Corwin decided to concentrate on the character of Ruth. However, Schumack reports, “Love ran too smoothly in the Bible.” Complications were needed. They also had a free hand in creating Moabite culture. “It is all treated with the greatest respect of course,“ Engel said. “after all you must remember that Ruth was the great-grandmother of David and an ancestor of Jesus.”[5] Casting Susan Strasberg, a contender for the role Ruth,[6] was tested in September 1959.[7] Other actresses who tested for the role were Susan Kohner, Tina Louise, Diane Baker, and Millie Perkins.[8] Israeli actress Elana Cooper and Swedish actress Ulla Jacobsson arrived in Los Angeles in September 1959 to test for the role.[8] Myrna Fahey, who had recently signed a contract with 20th-Century Fox, was also tested.[9] In October 1959, Cooper was cast as Ruth, changed her name from "Elana Cooper" to "Elana Eden," and signed a "term pact" with the studio.[10][11] Elana Eden as Ruth This is Elana Eden, whom Buddy Adler, Henry Koster, and I have selected to portray the coveted title role in The Story of Ruth. Elana Eden comes to us from the Holy Land following worldwide search in which literally over a score of young, talented actresses were tested. Elana is a graduate from the renowned Habima Theatre. She was chosen by us because we feel she possesses the necessary qualifications for this exacting role and because of her natural qualities, which most faithfully exemplify this beloved biblical heroine. - Samuel G. Engel, in a 7-minute preview of the film Stephen Boyd was first cast as Boaz but later turned down the role and said: "I think the picture would be much better without me."[12] Boyd later played Nimrod in John Huston's The Bible: In the Beginning... (1966), another biblical epic released by 20th-Century Fox. Stuart Whitman replaced Boyd as Boaz in December 1959.[13] Helen Hayes and Irene Dunne were offered the role of Naomi before Peggy Wood was cast.[14][15]

Pretending to be from Reuben, they claim to have witnessed Ruth worshipping Chemosh in secret at Naomi's farm. As a member of the Council of Elders, Boaz must sit in judgment of Ruth. At trial, Ruth admits to having been a Moabite priestess who last participated in ritual sacrifice only months before, shocking those in attendance-including Boaz, who does his best to defend her. The Moabite agents are exposed as false witnesses when Naomi asks them to name the 12 tribes of Israel and Ruth asks them to recite the Ten Commandments, which they cannot do. Nor will they bless Jehovah and curse Chemosh, as Ruth challenges. Ruth is acquitted. Tob refuses to give up his claim to Ruth, despite her informing him that she loves Boaz. Naomi suggests to Ruth a way out of her obligation to marry Tob. At their wedding ceremony, Ruth informs Tob in front of the guests that she sought out Boaz where he was sleeping at the harvest festival. Humiliated, Tob renounces Ruth. Boaz then declares he will marry Ruth, and both declare to the officiating elder that only vows of love passed between them. They are married, becoming the progenitors of a great king and a messiah.
You asked Israel, the Jews. They do not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. When i insist, they told me. They know more about Jesus because, Jesus was their neighbor.

I Hate slavery hate whipping. Lord have mercy, it's sooo evil. The woman are used abused, boaz is a type of christ, but yes it's beautiful Ruth's back story. Yes it may not be word from word in the bible.
Much hetter production than anything made today. Point 2: Jesus said, Will there be faith when he comes? That shouts there will be little faith today. He knew the future apostasy, the false Christianity today.
Since most films tend to deviate from the original book, I encourage you to read Ruth in The Bible (feel free to read other books in the Bible as well or just read all of the Bible). We are in the last hour. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Stop worrying relax
Yes, I have read the Book of Ruth many times
@@AnthonyRooney-be2txwe still need to repent though.
There’s a last hour for those who insist on ungodly pursuits and judgement must be upon them by god not men
Ruth was one of my beloved Mothers favorite female Bible characters and yes please read the Bible book Ruth.
Love this movie!!!
thank you
As it is written:
The name Naomi means “Pleasant, delightful, lovely.” But when the woman of Bethlehem called out “Is this Naomi?” she was quick to correct them.
“Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, (which means bitter) for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me”

Have read Ruth several times & like so many movies, they change just about all of it. Well the names Ruth, Naomi, BOAZ ETC ARE IN IT.
It's like stripping Ruth of her dignity the pain of loosing her hair. She is still beautiful ❤❤Jess x

Can you imagine child sacrifice it still happens today 😢😢

Well made movie ! I love the story of Ruth !
But this does not even resemble the story of Ruth.

Think thats Peggy Wood from the Sound of Music as Mother Superior
Volume is much too low. Unwatchable. Too bad.

This is not the true story !
The Bible is telling different and right story about Ruth and Boaz.
I always wonder why they go thru so much trouble to make up details when they have the true account in the bible.
It's a great pity that the narrative of this movie is so far removed from the truth of the Biblical account. It would have made for a great story had they stuck to the truth.
In the Bible, Boaz was kind to Ruth from the beginning and his character was unbespoken. The other kinsman never wanted Ruth for his wife.

Director Henry Koster, producer Samuel G. Engel, and cameraman Arthur Arling on the set of The Story of Ruth.
The Story of Ruth received favorable reviews upon release. Time considered the film "commendably unepic".[16]
Variety called it "a refreshingly sincere and restrained Biblical drama, a picture that elaborates on the romantic, political and devotional difficulties encountered by the Old Testament heroine".[17] and described Elana Eden's portrayal as "a performance of dignity", projecting "an inner strength through a delicate veneer".[17] Variety also noted Peggy Wood's "excellent characterization of Naomi" and said that her "timing is always sharp".[17]
Daniel A. Poling, editor of the Christian Herald, described the film as "[g]loriously cast and faultlessly directed".[18] He believed Eden's portrayal of Ruth was "worthy of an Oscar",[18]
Carl Lane, writing for the Evening Independent, praised Eden's performance: "...a flesh and blood Ruth of passion and compassion, of tenderness and dignity, a woman of whom the viewer tells himself on leaving the theater: 'This is Ruth as she must have been. She could have been no other.'"[19] He also praised Wood: “(She)...creates an unforgettable character. Patience, faith, wisdom, all mature within her as the story progresses."[19]
Boxoffice wrote: “This personal and human tale benefits by the realistic portrayals of the beautiful Israeli actress Miss Eden and the mature Miss Wood, who play together with touching affinity."[20]
In his June 18, 1960, assessment for The New York Times, Bosley Crowther observed: “It should be apparent to anyone who has ever read the Biblical Book of Ruth that to get a screen play from it a writer would have to do a lot of reading between the lines, then put his imagination to rather extensive use. As it stands, it is…a temptingly stimulating book. … But, unfortunately, (Corwin's) interlinear reading appears to have been on the innocent side and his use of imagination circumspect and dull. “ Instead of finding “… something softly feminine and romantic, Mr. Corwin has made her out to be a somewhat metallic former high priestess of a pagan theology who backslides her own religion and is married to a Judean because of his more comforting god. The two talk religion, not sweet nothings, when they get alone beneath the stars. And you might think this same writer could have arranged for Ruth something sweet and perhaps a little racy with her late husband's kinsman, Boaz, after she has been made a widow and fled to Bethlehem with her mother-in-law. But Mr. Corwin has … concocted a rather stiff and pompous dramatic account of how the great-grandmother of King David got over being a Moabite and got herself married to a Judean by lying beside him on the threshing floor. (Mr. Corwin has not even let her go to that modest extreme. He has kept the two at arm's length, with only a tender look passing between.) And Mr. Engel and Henry Koster.. have followed a stiff and pompous line in putting a potentially romantic and poetic story on the screen. Their style, decorative and dramatic, is ornate, heavy and grim, pretentious of deep spiritual meaning but without convincing throb of flesh or soul. ”[21]

Production
In 1957, Simon Windelburg was announced as the film's screenwriter.[3] Michael Kanin and his wife, Fay Kanin, who were later hired to write the screenplay, wrote treatments for the film.[3] Frank G. Slaughter wrote a screenplay based on his 1954 novel The Song of Ruth: A Love Story From the Old Testament.[3] Norman Corwin wrote an entirely new screenplay after summer 1958.[3] Corwin submitted his final draft of the script on September 1, 1959.[3] Production began in late November 1959 and ended in mid-February 1960.[4]
In a November 30, 1959, Special to the New York Times from Hollywood, (appearing on December 1) headlined “Story of Ruth is Being Filmed,” Murray Schumack reported on his interview with Engel, who at one time considered doing the story as a musical, along the lines of South Pacific. Explaining the problem of building the box-office appeal of a Biblical story, Engel said: “It is a sweet pastoral love story. It has an underlying theme of tolerance. It has the beauty of a lovely tone poem. But even if it was blown up, I couldn't see it as a movie,” Engel told Schumack.-except as a musical. “But then I figured it would be dull…” In the end, he and Corwin decided to concentrate on the character of Ruth. However, Schumack reports, “Love ran too smoothly in the Bible.” Complications were needed. They also had a free hand in creating Moabite culture. “It is all treated with the greatest respect of course,“ Engel said. “after all you must remember that Ruth was the great-grandmother of David and an ancestor of Jesus.”[5]
Casting
Susan Strasberg, a contender for the role Ruth,[6] was tested in September 1959.[7] Other actresses who tested for the role were Susan Kohner, Tina Louise, Diane Baker, and Millie Perkins.[8] Israeli actress Elana Cooper and Swedish actress Ulla Jacobsson arrived in Los Angeles in September 1959 to test for the role.[8] Myrna Fahey, who had recently signed a contract with 20th-Century Fox, was also tested.[9] In October 1959, Cooper was cast as Ruth, changed her name from "Elana Cooper" to "Elana Eden," and signed a "term pact" with the studio.[10][11]
Elana Eden as Ruth
This is Elana Eden, whom Buddy Adler, Henry Koster, and I have selected to portray the coveted title role in The Story of Ruth. Elana Eden comes to us from the Holy Land following worldwide search in which literally over a score of young, talented actresses were tested. Elana is a graduate from the renowned Habima Theatre. She was chosen by us because we feel she possesses the necessary qualifications for this exacting role and because of her natural qualities, which most faithfully exemplify this beloved biblical heroine.
- Samuel G. Engel, in a 7-minute preview of the film
Stephen Boyd was first cast as Boaz but later turned down the role and said: "I think the picture would be much better without me."[12] Boyd later played Nimrod in John Huston's The Bible: In the Beginning... (1966), another biblical epic released by 20th-Century Fox. Stuart Whitman replaced Boyd as Boaz in December 1959.[13]
Helen Hayes and Irene Dunne were offered the role of Naomi before Peggy Wood was cast.[14][15]

Plot
At approximately 8 years old, Ruth is sold by her father, as his strongest and prettiest daughter, to a priest of Chemosh, to be trained in the service of the Moabite deity. Months later, deemed the most attractive and unblemished candidate, Ruth is selected from a lineup of child priestesses in training to be sacrificed during the annual ritual to Chemosh. As soon as she is selected, a large blemish appears on Ruth's arm, and she is deemed unsuitable. Another child is sacrificed in her place.
Years later, Ruth is a favored priestess serving as spiritual teacher of a young Moabite girl, Tebah, being prepared for that year’s sacrifice to Chemosh. Unhappy with the ritual crown created for Tebah, high-priestess Eleilat, along with Ruth, instruct Mahlon, a Judean artisan, to revamp the crown with jewels and glitter. Mahlon delivers the crown to Ruth at the temple, and he begins to question her about the existence of Chemosh. Ruth starts out mocking Mahlon’s “invisible god,” but ends up becoming intrigued and doubtful of her religion as time draws near for Tebah’s sacrifice. Ruth ultimately falls in love with Mahlon and disgraces herself at Tebah’s sacrifice by screaming in horror as the child is ceremonially stabbed on an altar by the high priest. Ruth flees but is captured and punished.
The Moabites blame and condemn Mahlon, his father Elimelech, and brother Chilion for Ruth’s heresy. Chilion and Elimelech die in the prison, while Mahlon is condemned to the quarries for life. Ruth comes with mercenaries to free Mahlon, but he is mortally wounded as he flees the quarry. He marries Ruth in a cave soon afterwards, and promptly dies. Naomi (married to Elimelech), Orpah (married to Chilion), and Ruth are now widowed. Orpah returns to her Moabite family, and Ruth chooses to accompany Naomi to Bethlehem, famously proclaiming "Whither thou goest, I will go.”
Moab and Judah are ancient enemies, and Ruth is initially met with hostility. Upon arrival, they witness Boaz, a close kinsman of Elimelech’s, punish a Moabite who has poisoned a water hole by forcing him to drink the poisoned water. When Boaz learns that Naomi has returned, he sends provisions to them, respecting his obligation as a kinsman. Believing Boaz to be fiercely anti-Moabite, Ruth compels Naomi to refuse the provisions. Captivated by Ruth’s beauty, Boaz arranges for another kinsman, Tob, to take Boaz’s provisions to Naomi and Ruth. Tob initially doesn’t want to oblige, but after seeing Ruth, Tob agrees to Boaz’s arrangement, taking credit for generosity. A wise Naomi is skeptical of Tob’s uncharacteristic caring. Meanwhile, Boaz visits Naomi and Ruth to convince them to accept his help. After Boaz assists Ruth against a mob of hostile women at a well, Ruth becomes aware of his noble nature. Eventually, Boaz and Ruth fall in love, but Tob claims his right under the laws of God to marry Mahlon’s widow as closest kinsman.
Two Moab agents arrive in Judah seeking Ruth. Pretending to be from Reuben, they claim to have witnessed Ruth worshipping Chemosh in secret at Naomi's farm. As a member of the Council of Elders, Boaz must sit in judgment of Ruth. At trial, Ruth admits to having been a Moabite priestess who last participated in ritual sacrifice only months before, shocking those in attendance-including Boaz, who does his best to defend her. The Moabite agents are exposed as false witnesses when Naomi asks them to name the 12 tribes of Israel and Ruth asks them to recite the Ten Commandments, which they cannot do. Nor will they bless Jehovah and curse Chemosh, as Ruth challenges. Ruth is acquitted.
Tob refuses to give up his claim to Ruth, despite her informing him that she loves Boaz. Naomi suggests to Ruth a way out of her obligation to marry Tob. At their wedding ceremony, Ruth informs Tob in front of the guests that she sought out Boaz where he was sleeping at the harvest festival. Humiliated, Tob renounces Ruth. Boaz then declares he will marry Ruth, and both declare to the officiating elder that only vows of love passed between them. They are married, becoming the progenitors of a great king and a messiah.

Jewish tradition has it that Booz/Boaz was 80 years old whilst Ruth was aged 40.
Total distortion of the book of Ruth.😢

Ruth is interested in God. All her signs, mocking also is hidden fear, or ignorance to things supernatural
Of course demons Satan are behind the idols, if they have power it's through sorcery, it's not a clean spirit 😢
I Hate slavery hate whipping. Lord have mercy, it's sooo evil. The woman are used abused, boaz is a type of christ, but yes it's beautiful Ruth's back story. Yes it may not be word from word in the bible.
