Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments, Vol. 2: According to the Authorized Version; With Explanatory Notes, Practical Observations, and Copious Marginal References This book is a kind of appendix to that of Judges, and an introduction to the subsequent history: and it is most probable, that it was written by Samuel, after he had anointed David to be king. - Ruth, a Moabitess, having been married to the son of Elimelech, of the tribe of Judah; after the death of her husband and father-in-law, accompanied Naomi, her mother-in-law, into the land of Israel, from love to her, and to true religion: there she was married to Boaz, a near kinsman, and thus brought into the line of David, and consequently of Christ the Son of David. The chief events occurred at Beth-lehem, the city of David; whose genealogy from Pharez, the son of Judah, concludes the book, and is attested by the Evangelists Matthew and Luke. - It is not easy to fix the Chronology of these events: they occurred in the days when the judges ruled; but there is no evidence to determine exactly under which of them. - The narrative itself is very interesting and instructive. It shews the condescending providential care of God to the minutest concerns of his people: and the circumstance of a Moabitess becoming an ancestor of Christ, seems to have been a pre-intimation of the calling of the Gentiles into his church. Chap. 1. Elimelech induced by famine to sojourn in Moab dies there; His two sons, having married women of Moab, die without children; and Naomi, Elimelech´s widow, prepares to return to Israel; Orpah and Ruth, her daughter-in-law, propose to company her; she dissuades them, and Orpah returns bach; Ruth determines to go with her; They arrive at Beth-lehem, and Naorni answers the enquiries of her neighbours Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a eertain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the eountry of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah: and they eame into the country of Moab, and continued there. 3 And Elimeleech, Naomi´s husband died; ´and she was left, and her two sons. 4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her sons and her husband.
