Ruth 1:16
Ruth said to Naomi (her mother-in law).
” Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you.”
” For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge.”
” Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.
Naomi wanted to return to her country of Judah after some tragedies had happened to her family in Moab. So she told her daughter- in-law Ruth that she was leaving Moab to return to Judah.
Ruth was a Moab woman, and so Naomi presumed that she would remain in Moab.
But Ruth wanted to follow Naomi wherever she went. She experienced that Naomi was a good woman. A woman of God. So Ruth said to Naomi.
” Wherever you go, I will go with you. Wherever you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and Your God, my God.”
