Naomi returns to Bethlehem after famine, and her two daughters‑in‑law decide whether to stay; Ruth remains with her, pledging loyalty to Naomi and her God.
Ruth seeks food in Boaz’s field and is welcomed, protected, and provisioned, showing the kindness of a kinsman.
Naomi directs Ruth to approach Boaz at the threshing floor; Ruth follows her mother‑in‑law’s instructions, Boaz welcomes her, offers her the kinsman‑redeemer covenant, and gives her barley.
Boaz purchases Naomi’s inherited land, marries Ruth the Moabite, and they have a son, Obed, who becomes the grandfather of David.
