14 ÁRDÍ S Ruth HRUND SKULASON All of you are acquainted with the Book of Ruth, the 8th book of the Old Testament. All the books of the Bible have been written with a specific purpose in mind, and bring us a message and certain rules to live by. This Book of Ruth has brought a message to women of all ages at the same time as it relates the story of the great grandmother of David. In Halley’s handbook of the Bible we are told “That there is a field about a mile east of Bethlehem, called the ‘Field of Boaz’, where traditon says, Ruth gleaned. Adjoining is the ‘Shepherds’ Field’, where, tradition says, the angels an- nounced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. And according to these traditions, the scene of Ruth’s romance with Boaz, which led to the formation of the Family that was to produce Christ, was chosen of God, 1,100 years later, as the place for the Heavenly Announce- ment of Christ’s Arrival. Tradition also has it, that under the Church of the Nativity, in Bethlehem, there is a room in which, it is said Jesus was born, and that this same room was a part of the ancestral home of David, and before David, that of Boaz and Ruth. So according to this tradition, Boaz took Ruth to be his bride, and started the Family that was to bring Christ into the world, in the very room in which, 1,100 years later Christ himself was born.” Thus tradition lives through the ages. How many times have we not heard of families like Elimelech and Naomi who, with their two sons decided to leave the country of their birth because famine confronted them there. The land they chose was Moab, a very rich and fertile land. Food was there in abundance, and work for the sons. However, there were other difficulties, the barriers that are set by difference in religion and tradition. The Moabs were heathen people, and their God Chemosh was worshipped by child sacrifice. The family was tolerated and allowed to worship and work in peace. The sons Mahlon and Chilion like all young men do, met and admired the women of Moab, and as love knows no barriers, they married the lovely damsels of Moab, Ruth and Orpha. Now begins
