The
book is named after one of its main characters, a young woman of Moab,
the great-grandmother of David and an ancestress of Jesus. The only
other Biblical book bearing the name of a woman is Esther.

លោកបូអូស ចេញទៅអង្គុយ
នៅមាត់ទ្វារក្រុង។ ពេលនោះ បុរស ដែលជា
សាច់ញាតិ-អ្នកសង្គ្រោះ
របស់លោកអេលីម៉ាឡេក, គឺ
បុរស ដែលលោកបូអូស ប្រាប់នាងរស់កាលពីមុន,
បានដើរកាត់ កន្លែងនោះ។ លោកបូអូស ពោលទៅកាន់
បុរសនោះ ថា៖ «សូម បងអញ្ជើញ មកអង្គុយ ទីនេះសិន។» បុរសនោះ ក៏អង្គុយចុះ។
លោកបូអូស បានអញ្ជើញចាស់ទុំ
ដប់នាក់ ពីក្នុងភូមិមក, ហើយ សុំ ឲ្យគេ អង្គុយជាមួយដែរ។ លោក មានប្រសាសន៍ ទៅកាន់ សាច់ញាតិនោះ
ដូចតទៅ៖ «បង ជ្រាបស្រាប់ហើយ ថា, បងស្រី ណាអូមី បានវិលត្រឡប់ មកពី ស្រុកម៉ូអាប់វិញ, ហើយ គាត់ ចង់លក់ដីស្រែ ដែលជាកម្មសិទ្ធិ របស់ បងអេលីម៉ាឡេក។ ខ្ញុំ បានគិត ថា, គួរ តែ ជំរាបបង, ហើយ សូម ឲ្យបង ទិញដីស្រែនោះ
ដោយមានចាស់ទុំ និងបងប្អូន ឯទៀតៗ ដែលនៅទីនេះ ជួយដឹងឮផង។ ប្រសិនបើ បង ចង់ទិញ, សូម
ទិញចុះ។ តែ បើបង មិនទិញទេ, សូម ប្រាប់ឲ្យខ្ញុំដឹងផង, ដ្បិត នៅទីនេះ មានតែបងទេ ដែលមានសិទ្ធិទិញ, ហើយ បន្ទាប់ពីបង, គឺ រូបខ្ញុំ។»
បុរសនោះ ពោលថា៖
«ខ្ញុំ
នឹងទិញ។»
លោកបូអូស ក៏មានប្រសាសន៍
ថា៖ «បើ
បង ទិញដីស្រែ របស់ បងស្រីណាអូមី, បង ក៏ត្រូវយកនាងរស់
ជាសាសន៍ម៉ូអាប់ ធ្វើជាភរិយាដែរ, ដើម្បី ឲ្យដី នៅតែ
ជាកម្មសិទ្ធិ របស់ បងប្អូនយើង ដែលស្លាប់ទៅហើយ នោះដដែល។»
សាច់ញាតិ-អ្នកសង្គ្រោះនោះ ឆ្លើយវិញ ថា៖ «បើដូច្នេះ
ខ្ញុំ មិនអាចទិញបានទេ ព្រោះ ខ្ញុំ មិនចង់ខាត ប្រយោជន៍ និងបាត់កេរ្តិ៍អាករផ្ទាល់ របស់ខ្ញុំឡើយ។
សូម លោកប្អូន ទិញយកចុះ។ ខ្ញុំ ពុំអាចទិញបានទេ។»

Ruth 4
New International Version (NIV)
Boaz Marries Ruth
Meanwhile Boaz went up to the town gate and sat down there just as the guardian-redeemer[a] he had mentioned came along. Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
2 Boaz took ten of the elders of the town and said, “Sit here,” and they did so. 3 Then
he said to the guardian-redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from Moab,
is selling the piece of land that belonged to our relative Elimelek. 4 I
thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that
you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of
the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, do so. But if you[b] will not, tell me, so I will know. For no one has the right to do it except you, and I am next in line.”
“I will redeem it,” he said.
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the[c] dead man’s widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.”
6 At this, the guardian-redeemer said, “Then I cannot redeem it because I might endanger my own estate. You redeem it yourself. I cannot do it.”
7 (Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions in Israel.)
8 So the guardian-redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it yourself.” And he removed his sandal.
9 Then Boaz announced to the elders and all the people, “Today you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon. 10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife,
in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that
his name will not disappear from among his family or from his hometown. Today you are witnesses!”
11 Then the elders and all the people at the gate said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the family of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. 12 Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah.”
Naomi Gains a Son
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
The Genealogy of David
18 This, then, is the family line of Perez:
Perez was the father of Hezron,
19 Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab,
20 Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,[d]
21 Salmon the father of Boaz,
Boaz the father of Obed,
22 Obed the father of Jesse,
and Jesse the father of David.

Dear theary Seng
The Athief by the name Sam Harris will attacks you if you kept on post the region in here.Lets talk politic my darling if you dare to plAy dots game during the Asian summit in Pp without fear lets me hear your view about Cpp's pigs regime that robs and kills khmers today,my question is what do you think about Hun cent regime today? I kinda admired you for playing dots game by putting Henry kiss-Assger that killed khmers during carpet bombing secretly with Nixon and Ho chi Minh you didn't put on the dots game of yours why? Also Sdach Sinorook should be in there as well,why he wasn't in your game?
Victim
I guest all khmer are dump!!! Let vote for Hun Sen again in next year election so that we can have a smart brain coming out from Khmer + Viet = smart, because Khmer + Khmer = Dump. Let us vote for the killers, rapers, robbers and the destroyers of their own people. Bravo...
Ruth's name means: Friendship
She chose to be a friend of Israel through the adoption of Boaz by forsaking her parents religion to follow wholeheartedly the God of Israel.
Noami's name means: Pleasant one
But when she lost her husband and two sons in the land of Moab, she became bittered. But through the birth of Ruth's baby she is once more in a cheerful spirit!
I believe Ruth was the 10th generation of the Moabite to come into the sanctuary of the God of Israel throught redemption process that God has established in his Torah (books of instruction).
Who are the modern Moabites and Amonites in the Middle East? They are the Jordanians. Jordan was the Amon and Moab territory in ancient times.
I would say Ruth is the historical account about God's plan of Redemption of all mankind into his Kingdom of Hope and future without corruption or decay.
Ruth has high moral character even though she grew up in pagan background. I hope there's at least one good Buddhist lady in America who has good moral character even though she is a Buddhist at this time.
“If you think that it would be impossible to improve upon the Ten Commandments as a statement of morality, you really owe it to yourself to read some other scriptures. Once again, we need look no further than the Jains: Mahavira, the Jain patriarch, surpassed the morality of the Bible with a single sentence: "Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being." Imagine how different our world might be if the Bible contained this as its central precept. Christians have abused, oppressed, enslaved, insulted, tormented, tortured, and killed people in the name of God for centuries, on the basis of a theologically defensible reading of the Bible. (23)”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“Tell a devout Christian that his wife is cheating on him, or that frozen yogurt can make a man invisible, and he is likely to require as much evidence as anyone else, and to be persuaded only to the extent that you give it. Tell him that the book he keeps by his bed was written by an invisible deity who will punish him with fire for eternity if he fails to accept its every incredible claim about the universe, and he seems to require no evidence what so ever.”
― Sam Harris
“Theology is ignorance with wings.”

“We have a choice. We have two options as human beings. We have a choice between conversation and war. That's it. Conversation and violence. And faith is a conversation stopper.”
― Sam Harris
“It is time we admitted, from kings and presidents on down, that there is no evidence that any of our books was authored by the Creator of the universe. The Bible, it seems certain, was the work of sand-strewn men and women who thought the earth was flat and for whom a wheelbarrow would have been a breathtaking example of emerging technology. To rely on such a document as the basis for our worldview-however heroic the efforts of redactors- is to repudiate two thousand years of civilizing insights that the human mind has only just begun to inscribe upon itself through secular politics and scientific culture. We will see that the greatest problem confronting civilization is not merely religious extremism: rather, it is the larger set of cultural and intellectual accommodations we have made to faith itself.”

“We read the Golden Rule and judge it to be a brilliant distillation of many of our ethical impulses. And then we come across another of God’s teachings on morality: if a man discovers on his wedding night that his bride is not a virgin, he must stone her to death on her father’s doorstep (Deuteronomy 22:13-21).”

“You are using your own moral intuitions to authenticate the wisdom of the Bible - and then, in the next moment, you assert that we human beings cannot possibly rely upon our own intuitions to rightly guide us in the world.”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“Every one of the world's "great" religions utterly trivializes the immensity and beauty of the cosmos. Books like the Bible and the Koran get almost every significant fact about us and our world wrong. Every scientific domain -- from cosmology to psychology to economics -- has superseded and surpassed the wisdom of Scripture.
Everything of value that people get from religion can be had more honestly, without presuming anything on insufficient evidence. The rest is self-deception, set to music.”
― Sam Harris
“Religious moderation is the direct result of taking scripture less and less seriously. So why not take it less seriously still? Why not admit the the Bible is merely a collection of imperfect books written by highly fallible human beings.”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“Imagine a world in which generations of human beings come to believe that
certain films were made by God or that specific software was coded by him.
Imagine a future in which millions of our descendants murder each other
over rival interpretations of Star Wars or Windows 98. Could anything --
anything -- be more ridiculous? And yet, this would be no more ridiculous
than the world we are living in. ”
― Sam Harris
“People who harbor strong convictions without evidence belong at the margins of our societies, not in our halls of power. The only thing we should respect in a person’s faith is his desire for a better life in this world; we need never have respected his certainty that one awaits him in the next.”
― Sam Harris
“Are you really surprised by the endurance of religion? What ideology is likely to be more durable than one that conforms, at every turn, to our powers of wishful thinking? Hope is easy; knowledge is hard. Science is the one domain in which we human beings make a truly heroic effort to counter our innate biases and wishful thinking. Science is the one endeavor in which we have developed a refined methodology for separating what a person hopes is true from what he has good reason to believe. The methodology isn't perfect, and the history of science is riddled with abject failures of scientific objectivity. But that is just the point-these have been failures of science, discovered and corrected by-what, religion? No, by good science.”
― Sam Harris
“A kernel of truth lurks at the heart of religion, because spiritual experience, ethical behavior, and strong communities are essential for human happiness. And yet our religious traditions are intellectually defunct and politically ruinous. While spiritual experience is clearly a natural propensity of the human mind, we need not believe anything on insufficient evidence to actualize it.”
― Sam Harris
“The fact that my continuous and public rejection of Christianity does not worry me in the least should suggest to you just how inadequate I think your reasons for being a Christian are.”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“A three-day-old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called a blastocyst. There are, for the sake of comparison, more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly. The human embryos that are destroyed in stem-cell research do not have brains, or even neurons. Consequently, there is no reason to believe they can suffer their destruction in any way at all. It is worth remembered, in this context, that when a person's brain has died, we currently deem it acceptable to harvest his organs (provided he has donated them for this purpose) and bury him in the ground. If it is acceptable to treat a person whose brain has died as something less than a human being, it should be acceptable to treat a blastocyst as such. If you are concerned about suffering in this universe, killing a fly should present you with greater moral difficulties than killing a human blastocyst.
Perhaps you think that the crucial difference between a fly and a human blastocyst is to be found in the latter's potential to become a fully developed human being. But almost every cell in your body is a potential human being, given our recent advances in genetic engineering. Every time you scratch your nose, you have committed a Holocaust of potential human beings. (30)”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“According to the most common interpretation of biblical prophecy, Jesus will return only after things have gone horribly awry. Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the U.S. government believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency.”
― Sam Harris
“In the year 2006, a person can have sufficient intellectual and material resources to build a nuclear bomb and still believe that he will get seventy-two virgins in Paradise.”
― Sam Harris
“The moral truth here is obvious: anyone who feels that the interests of a blastocyst just might supersede the interests of a child with a spinal cord injury has had his moral sense blinded by religious metaphysics.”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“It is taboo in our society to criticize a persons religious faith... these taboos are offensive, deeply unreasonable, but worse than that, they are getting people killed. This is really my concern. My concern is that our religions, the diversity of our religious doctrines, is going to get us killed. I'm worried that our religious discourse- our religious beliefs are ultimately incompatible with civilization.”
― Sam Harris
“When considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn't. Religion is one area of our lives where people imagine that some other standard of intellectual integrity applies.”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“What I'm asking you to entertain is that there is nothing we need to believe on insufficient evidence in order to have deeply ethical and spiritual lives.”

“Religious moderation is the product of secular knowledge and scriptural ignorance.”
― Sam Harris, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason
“Indeed, religion allows people to imagine that their concerns are moral when they are highly immoral - that is, when pressing these concerns inflicts unnecessary and appalling suffering on innocent human beings. This explains why Christians like yourself expend more "moral" energy opposing abortion than fighting genocide. It explains why you are more concerned about human embryos than about the lifesaving promise of stem-cell research. And it explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-Saharan Africa while millions die from AIDS there each year. (25)”
― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
“Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn’t care to, or he doesn’t exist. God is either impotent, evil, or imaginary. Take your pick, and choose wisely.
The only sense to make of tragedies like this is that terrible things can happen to perfectly innocent people. This understanding inspires compassion.
Religious faith, on the other hand, erodes compassion. Thoughts like, “this might be all part of God’s plan,” or “there are no accidents in life,” or “everyone on some level gets what he or she deserves” - these ideas are not only stupid, they are extraordinarily callous. They are nothing more than a childish refusal to connect with the suffering of other human beings. It is time to grow up and let our hearts break at moments like this.”
― Sam Harris
I would like to thank Sam Harris, Nietsche, stephen hawking, galileo, aristotleCopernicus, Kelper,, and the early scientists, etc. For speaking the truth about the non-existent of god. It is so sad that for the past 500 years so many intellectuals were killed by this religion.
Well,so many intellectuals killed by atheism as well,Here some example:Maoism,starlinism,khmers rouge,Yiekcong Hoism etc.
More intellectuals killed by atheism/communism than any other form of organizations on this planet facts.Without religion people kills one another like animals on the plain of Africa.Atheism/communism goes to hell god won't save your souls....
....God existed in your heart find him....God loves you.
Whoever lavish the text of Sam Harris do so because he/she believes in the father of lie, Satan.
I consider myself well grounded in the Bible and I know God laughs at these juggerheads as they tried to overthrow him, not a chance.
The Potter (Creator) is Greater than the created beings. And he has power over the clay - which are human beings.
Sam Harris needs to go and learn how a potter work the clay, and if he is willing to learn anything he will see himself utterly helpless in the hands of the potter. So why continue to speak arogantly against the Potter?
"There is no wisdom, nor counsel , nor understanding against the Almighty, the Potter."
The wicked are made even for the day of slaughter and God will get the glory for himself.
This person who thinks that he is promoting truth by posting Sam Harris Lies - in the sight of God he is consider a wicked human being.
One SINNER (such as Sam Harris) can do much damage to the human race.
This person who thinks that he is promoting god by posting the bible's lies- in the sight of truth he is considered a lovely human being.
One sinner (such as Sam Harris) can NOT do much damage to the human race as claimed by other sinners.
After i have read about the universe, god no longer exist anymore.
