Looking Like There's A-Courting in Sight

Naomi and Ruth

Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking. And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.-Ruth 3:1-5***Joshua was an Israelite from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Aaron and Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah and their 3rd born son Levi. Forty years after Moses and Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, into the desert wilderness of Shur, and the desert wilderness of Sin, and the desert wilderness of Sinai, 123-year-old Aaron the high priest died, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died, and was divinely buried. Joshua was Moses' aide and successor. The Lord God spoke to Joshua, and Joshua sent 2 spies to Canaan, the Promised Land, and Rahab hid the spies, and the spies returned, and Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. After 110-year-old Joshua died, and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the elders were led by elders, judges and their own minds. Elimelech was an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah, and lived in Bethlehem with his family in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah. During a famine Elimelech and his wife Naomi journeyed with their sons Mahlon and Chilion  to land inhabited by Moabites, the descendants of Abraham and Sarah's nephew Lot and Lot's oldest daughter and their son Moab. While in the land of the Moabites, Elimelech died, and Mahlon was married to Ruth, and Chilion was married to Orpah. Ruth and Orpah were Moabites, and they both remained childless. Sometime thereafter, Mahlon died and Chilion died. Naomi decided to return to her homeland after hearing that the Lord God had attended to the Israelites and given them bread. Ruth and Orpah were journeying with Naomi until Naomi told Ruth and Orpah to return home. Naomi blessed Ruth and Orpah and declared her reasons to her daughters-in-law. Orpah returned home, and Ruth pleaded to stay with Naomi, and made a vow. In Bethlehem, Naomi granted Ruth permission to work in the field, and Elimelech's relative Boaz saw Ruth, and asked his servant about her. Boaz spoke to Ruth, and Ruth spoke to Boaz, and Boaz spoke to his workers about Ruth. At home, Naomi questioned Ruth, and Ruth told Naomi about Boaz and his instructions. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Ruth obeyed Boaz's instructions, and Ruth obeyed Naomi's instructions and became Boaz's wife. Obed was born into the tribe of Judah to Boaz and Ruth, and Jesse was born to Obed, and David was Jesse's 8th born son. Over a decade after David was born, the Lord God sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, to Bethlehem to anoint David to reign as king. Meanwhile,  Saul, from the tribe of Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin, was the reigning ruler. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah, and when David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites. At least 950 years after Solomon, a son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, and 70-year-old David died, 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 in Bethlehem into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus 25:25, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 25:5-10, 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
