The "Bible (ASV) 08: Ruth" is a book from the American Standard Version of the Bible. It tells the story of a family from Bethlehem who, during a time of famine, moves to the neighboring country of Moab. After facing many hardships, including the deaths of the husband and sons, the mother, Naomi, decides to return to Bethlehem. She encourages her daughters-in-law to go back to their own families, but one of them, Ruth, refuses to leave her side. Ruth vows to stay with Naomi, adopting her people and her God as her own. Together, they return to Bethlehem during the barley harvest, where Ruth works diligently in the fields to provide for both herself and her mother-in-law.
