Description: The opening verses of Ruth show Elimelech's unbelieving flight from the land of promise into Moab triggering small-scale versions of the covenant curses; famine, death, and barrenness; yet God is already at work to turn that cursing and death into blessing and resurrection life, ultimately through the line of David and Christ.
