Ruth 1:4
1:4 So her sons
married
Moabite women. (One was named Orpah and the other Ruth.)
And they continued to live there about ten years.
Ruth 1:16-17
1:16 But Ruth replied,
“Stop urging me to abandon you!
For wherever you go, I will go.
Wherever you live, I will live.
Your people will become my people,
and your God will become my God.
1:17 Wherever you die, I will die – and there I will be buried.
May the Lord punish me severely if I do not keep my promise!
Only death will be able to separate me from you!”
Ruth 1:22
1:22 So Naomi returned, accompanied by her Moabite daughter-in-law Ruth, who came back with her from the region of Moab.
(Now they
arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.)
