Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ruth 1:15
Ruth 1:15. Thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods— It is not by any means a just consequence from hence, that Orpah had never been proselyted to the Jewish religion. The contrary is a much more natural deduction; for if she had not once left them, she could not have returned to them. Ruth continued steadfast to the faith that she had embraced; Orpah returned back to Moab and to Chemosh. They who consider the friendless and forlorn state of Naomi, will not wonder much... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ruth 1:6-14
B. Naomi’s inability to provide husbands for Ruth and Orpah 1:6-14God eventually withdrew the famine from Judah (Ruth 1:6), probably in response to His people’s calling out to Him for deliverance (cf. Judges 3:9; Judges 3:15; Judges 4:3; Judges 6:6; Judges 10:10; Judges 16:28). This verse sounds one of the major themes of the story: Yahweh’s gracious intervention. [Note: K. Sacon, "The Book of Ruth-Its Literary Structure and Themes," Annual of the Japanese Biblical Institute 4 (1978):5.] "Here... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ruth 1:15-18
C. Ruth’s profession of faith in Yahweh 1:15-18Ruth concluded that her prospects for loyal love and rest (Ruth 1:8-9) were better if she identified with Israel than if she continued to identify with Moab. She had come to admire Israel’s God, in spite of Naomi’s present lack of faith. Elimelech and his family had evidently earlier fulfilled God’s purpose for His people while living in Moab. They had so represented Yahweh that Ruth felt drawn to Him and now, faced with a decision of loyalty, she... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:1-22
The Exile and the Return of Naomi1. Beth-lehem-judah] two hours’ journey S. of Jerusalem, is to be distinguished from Bethlehem in Zebulun (Joshua 19:15). It was but a short distance from Moab, which, in the days here referred to, was a fertile, highly cultivated country. Travellers still speak of it as a land of streams. Nothing short of the compulsion of famine could have induced a Hebrew to migrate into this foreign country where he would have no right of citizenship, this unclean land where... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ruth 1:14
(14) Kissed.—Orpah, though unwilling to leave her mother-in-law, and though warmly attached to her, still thinks of the hardships of the journey, of the hardships when the journey is done; and the comforts of home detain her. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ruth 1:15
(15) Naomi, now armed with a fresh argument, urges Ruth to follow her sister-in-law’s example.Her gods.—Naomi doubtless views the Moabite idols as realities, whose power is, however, confined to the land of Moab. She is not sufficiently enlightened in her religion to see in the Lord more than the God of Israel. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ruth 1:16
(16) Intreat me not.—Ruth’s nobleness is proof against all. The intensity of her feeling comes out all the more strongly now that she pleads alone: “I will undertake with thee the toilsome journey, I will lodge with thee however hardly, I will venture among a strange people, and will worship a new god.” read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ruth 1:1-22
Ruth 1:4 We strain our eyes to know something of the long line of the purple hills of Moab, which form the background at once of the history and of the geography of Palestine. It is a satisfaction to feel that there is one tender association which unites them with the familiar history and scenery of Judaea that from their recesses, across the deep gulf which separates the two regions, came the gentle ancestress of David and the Messiah.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ruth 1:15
RUTH GOES WITH NAOMI"And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto unto her god; return thou after thy sister-in-law. And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried; Jehovah do so to me and more also, if aught but death part thee and me. And when... read more
