Outsiders and Insiders - Ruth's Journey

11/9/2015

We've been reading so much of the history* (well, what the writers want you to think is the history) of the Israelite people. History isn't really that...um...moving, so it's kind of nice to see an actual story!
 
But don't think of this story as removed from what we've been reading. It is a separate story, one that may have had a different author, but it fits into the larger story of Israel. And the biggest connection I draw your attention to is the fact that Ruth, the hero of the story, is not an Israelite.
 
Did you notice that? Maybe you noticed the odd things, like threshing floor, or untying sandals, or Naomi setting up her daughter in law with another family member and that's odd. But did you notice that she was not an Israelite to begin with?
