Editor's Note: You would think Christ would not require payment for footwear however, I find that is was a common surname in the area so, in this case, he probably did.
Ruth would have been 14 years old when she was frightened enough to sleep in with her sister.
Still trying to trade horses I see. I get the feeling everyone had a broken down nag that they just kept trying to pass on to the next guy until she came back again his way.
