Ruth

1. Ruth was a Moabite woman. Given the law of God that one should not marry a foreigner, how did her first husband marry her? 2. In what way did Boaz marry her? 3. What method did her mother-in-law teach her? 4. Are there any laws or customs mentioned in the Book of Leviticus related to this? 5. What is the background of all this?

Shalom!
