Naomi and her daughter-in-law, Ruth, went from Moab to Judah after Ruth's husband died. Ruth made Naomi's homeland and God her own. Boaz, a rich relative of Naomi, was kind to Ruth. He allowed her to gather grain from his fields. Boaz decided that he wanted to marry Ruth, but there was another man that Ruth was supposed to marry. Boaz did not know what to do. Boaz received the right to marry Ruth. He also bought the land that was once owned by Naomi's dead husband. Ruth and Boaz got married and had a son. God promised Abraham and Sarah a baby in their old age. God kept that promise and Sarah became pregnant and gave birth to a baby son whom Abraham named Isaac. Abraham circumcised the baby and as time went by the child grew and was weaned. Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Abraham's son with the Egyptian girl Hagar, was teasing Isaac. Sarah forced Abraham to make Hagar and Ishmael leave. Then God tested Abraham's faith and obedience. God told Abraham to take his son up to Moriah and offer him as a burnt offering. The next morning Abraham got up and took Isaac to a mountain for the sacrifice. He made an altar and placed Isaac on it. Just as Abraham was going to stab Isaac, God told him to stop because he had proved that God was first in his life. God told Abraham to sacrifice a ram instead. Abraham named the place Jehovah jireh.
