 Ruth is often celebrated for being a loyal daughter-in-law, deciding to leave her land to accompany Naomi back to Bethlehem. When they arrived in the town, the younger woman said to Naomi, Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain for us. She helped the older woman, who then helped the younger woman marry Boaz. Naomi's advice for Ruth prompted Boaz to take action in purchasing her deceased in-law's property and to take her as his wife.
