Da hun kom til sin svigermor, fortalte hun henne alt det mannen hadde gjort for henne. Så sa hun: «Han ga meg alt dette bygget. For han sa til meg: Du må ikke gå tomhendt til din svigermor.» Da sa No’omi: «Hold deg i ro, min datter, til du vet hva som blir utfallet av saken. For den mannen vil ikke slå seg til ro i dag før dette er avgjort.»

Explained for Children
Imagine you have a friend who helps you a lot. One day, your friend does something really nice for you, and when you get home, you tell your mom all about it. That's what Ruth did for Naomi.
Historical Background
The Book of Ruth was likely written by Samuel or another prophet around 1050 BC. It was written for the Israelites to show God's care and the origin story of King David's family.
Living It Out Today
Think of a time when someone helped you out, and you had to tell your family about it. Just like Ruth, we can share our experiences and gratitude with those who care about us.
