TEST II. UNDERSTANDING. DIRECTIONS: Choose the correct answers. Shade the corresponding
letters of your answers in your answer sheet.
Our Story opens on a Jewish family with a problem. Famine has hit Bethlehem, which forces
Elimelech and his wife, Naomi, to move east to Moab with their two sons to get some grub. There they
set up shop, eat some food, and live for 10 years. The sons marry two local girls, Ruth, and Orpah
during this time. Life is good. Or so it seems.
One by one, Elimelech and his two sons die. This leaves Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah man-less and
in need to help. Naomi decides to head back to Bethlehem (10 years is enough time to get a famine,
right?) and her daughters in law pack their luggage and join her. Naomi begs the girls to stay behind
and, while Orpah is convinced and high tails it back to Moab. Ruth pledges her devotion to Naomi,
forsaking her god and her people to become part of Naomi’s life. Ruth’s stubbornness pays off and
Naomi lets her tag along.
In Bethlehem, things are not good for the ladies. Naomi is feeling down and out, and Ruth is
reduced to gleaning in the barley fields. There, Ruth happens to run into a well-known rich guy named
Boaz, who instantly takes a liking to her and offers her all kinds of sweet gleaning privileges. Boaz
happens to be a relative of Naomi’s late husband, which is very, very important, since Boaz would have
an obligation to marry Ruth and provide for her as family.
When Naomi hears about Boaz and what a stand-up guy he is, she hatches a plan for Ruth to
snag him as husband. She tells her daughters in law to visit Boaz at night and lie at his feet. Ruth does
what her mother in law asks and Boaz is pleasantly surprised to see the cute girl from the fields is
interested in him. He tells Ruth that he would love to marry her, but there’s another relative with even
closer ties to her in laws. Boaz sets out to meet the guy and everyone is left to hold his or her breath
while we wait to find out whom Ruth will end up with.
As it turns out, this random relative is interested in buying some land that Naomi has, but he
is less interested in taking her daughters in law as his wife. So, a deal is struck- the other guy
renounces his claim on Ruth and Boaz is free to marry her. Wedding bells start ringing and everyone
is happy.
