THE STORY OF RUTH CONTINUED MEMORABLE SPECTACLE While “The Story Of Ruth” deals with the intimate life of a dedicated and beautiful biblical creature from the day when, as a mere five-year- old child she was sold to the priests of Moab for training as a sacrificial offering to the stone god to her marriage to Boaz, her second hus- band and a Judean kinsman of her mother-in-law, Naomi, the drama is unfolded against a spectacular back- ground. Two such scenes are pic- tured on this page. Above: the Moab king and High Priest visit the quarry where pris- oners are condemned to perform hard labor from which few survive. Below: the High Priest announces that the annual rites of sacrificing a child to the stone god, Chemosh, will begin. This is the beginning of the sequence in which the Moabite Ruth rebels, is sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. She eventu- ally escapes and joins Naomi in their journey to Bethlehem. 51
