0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:12.8	Today we finished our ninth book of the Bible, and we're rapidly closing in on 100 days in the word.
0:19.4	So I think you should do something to celebrate. If you know
0:22.0	other people who are doing the Bible recap, maybe you should get together and have a little party or
0:25.6	something. If kids can have a party for hitting 100 days in school, you can do it for hitting 100 days
0:31.5	in the Bible. Come on, this will serve you better than algebra any day. No offense to the math
0:36.6	teachers among us. We love you. You're
0:38.7	invited to the party too. Bring ice cream. Okay, let's drop in on Ruth's story. It takes place during
0:45.3	the time of the judges when all kinds of wickedness is filling the land of Israel. The book opens
0:49.9	with a married couple, Illimalec and Naomi, leaving their hometown, Bethlehem of Judah, to escape a famine.
0:56.3	They settle in Moab across the Jordan River, which is pagan territory. We'll include a link to a map

1:06.9	Moab, the sons do the very thing Moses warned them against. They marry women who worship
1:11.5	other gods. Eventually, Alemelaq and his sons all die, leaving Naomi and her Moabite daughters-in-law
1:17.5	behind defend for themselves. Naomi is in dire straits because as a widow with no offspring,
1:23.3	there's no way for her to be provided for, and especially not in a foreign land that has no rules for providing for widows like Israel does.
1:31.5	Fortunately, she gets word that Bethlehem isn't in a famine anymore, and she packs her bags.
1:36.4	She tells her pagan daughters-in-law to go back to their homes where they can start over.
1:41.2	Orpa goes back home, but Ruth makes a shocking decision. She attaches herself to a
1:46.7	destitute, depressed widow, and leaves her country to move to a foreign land. She chooses the
1:52.3	hard path. As she's making this commitment to Naomi, Ruth invokes an oath to God, and when she
1:58.3	makes that oath, she refers to him as Yahweh. This lets us know that
