A woman named Naomi lived in a faraway land. Her husband and two sons died, and she was very sad.
Naomi decided to go back home to Bethlehem. She told her daughters-in-law, “Go back to your own families.”
One of them, Ruth, hugged her and said, “I won't leave you! Where you go, I will go. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.”
