Ruth 2 tells the story of Ruth, a Moabite woman, who is faced with poverty after her husband's death. Naomi, her mother-in-law, encourages her to find work, and Ruth begins to work in the fields of Boaz, a wealthy landowner and relative of her late husband. Boaz takes a particular interest in Ruth, providing her with food and protection, and expresses admiration for her loyalty and hard work. Ruth's story exemplifies the importance of kindness, family ties, and the provision of God.
