“Given the past history with Moab and the way Moabite women had led Israelite men astray to worship other gods, this cannot have been a wise thing to do. Throughout Scripture the Lord’s people are commanded repeatedly not to marry outside his people. Mahlon and Kilion would never have married Moabite women if Elimelech had not taken the family to Moab. The decisions taken by parents have repercussions for their children.” (Page 27)
