Heard Tell

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread. Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.-Ruth 1:1-7***During a famine in Canaan, the Promised Land, Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) journeyed with his wife Sarah (Sarai) and their nephew Lot to Egypt. After Abraham, Sarah and Lot returned to Canaan, they did not journey to any other land. When Abraham and Sarah's only child Isaac was living with his family amid a famine in Canaan, the Lord God told Isaac not to go to Egypt. The Lord God told Isaac to stay in Canaan and the Lord God told Issac he would be with Isaac and bless Isaac. Jacob (Israel) was the youngest fraternal twin son born to Isaac and his wife Rebekah. When 130-year-old Jacob was journeying from Canaan to Egypt during a famine, the Lord God told Jacob not to be afraid to go to Egypt. The Lord God said that he would make Jacob a great nation in Egypt, and would go down with Jacob to Egypt. Over 650 years after Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, Elimelech and Naomi were living in Bethlehem (Ephrath) in Canaan, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah. During a famine, Elimelech and Naomi journeyed with their sons Mahlon and Chilion to settle amid the Moabites, the descendants of Lot and Lot's oldest daughter. Elimelech died, and each son married a Moabite woman. Sometime thereafter, childless Mahlon and Chilion died. When Naomi heard that the Lord God was providing for the Israelites in her homeland, she began journeying with her daughters-in-law Orpah and Ruth towards Bethlehem. After a gentle prodding and tearful goodbye, Orpah returned to the Moabites. Ruth arrived in Bethlehem with Naomi, and married Boaz, Naomi's wealthy relative. Obed was born to Boaz and Ruth. Jesse was born to Obed. Jesse's 8th born son David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
