Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:14-19

THE PARTING OF THE WAYSRuth 1:14-19WE journey along with others for a time, enjoying their fellowship and sharing their hopes, yet with thoughts and dreams of our own that must sooner or later send us on a separate path. But decision is so difficult to many that they are glad of an excuse for self-surrender and are only too willing to be led by some authority, deferring personal choice as long as possible. Let an ecclesiastic or a strong-minded companion lay down for them the law of right and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:1-22

DEPARTURE BECAUSE OF FAMINE (vv. 1-5) A famine was in the land of Israel. Why? Because the literal famine was to draw attention to the spiritual famine that came before it, a famine for hearing the words of God. Though Israel suffered from the spiritual famine, they did not feel it. So God sent them something they would feel! The famine was felt even in Bethlehem of Judah. Bethlehem means "the house of bread," where, of all places, there ought not to be a famine. But we too, though we are... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:1-22

BACK TO THE HOMELAND Ruth 1:0 This beautiful story is an event occurring during the Judges (Ruth 1:1 ), but separated from the former to give prominence to the genealogical record with which it concludes (Ruth 4:18-22 ), showing Ruth an ancestress of David and hence of Jesus Christ. The story is so simply told that it needs only the briefest comments. Elimelech and his family are called “Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah” (1:2) for the reason that Ephrath was originally the name of Bethlehem... read more

Rth 1:1-18 Wordsworth. The Preacher's Homiletical Commentary thus describes the scene of action: At first Bethlehem, then Moab, then Bethlehem and the regions around once again. Bethlehem, two short hours' journey south of Jerusalem. The most attractive and significant of all the world's birthplaces (Schubert). Under ordinary circumstances a fruitful land. Remarkably well watered in comparison with other parts of Palestine (Benjamin of Tudela). Even in the present state of Palestine,... read more

The Character of Naomi Ruth 1:0 "IS this Naomi?" ( Rth 1:19 ) literally, is this the Naomi? the reference being to a person well known, and well known because of quality and station. The name was known to every one as the name of a lady of notable degree who had been obliged to give way to circumstances that were irresistible, and who had therefore become poor, dispossessed even of bread, and sent away in great distress to undergo what would seem to be the chief punishment which Heaven... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 1:14

And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. What a striking evidence is here, in these two character's, of the wonderful difference between nature and grace. While both Orpah and Ruth felt the tender affections, and were melted at Naomi's discourse, with one it operated no further than the momentary impulse, but like the early cloud, or morning dew, Soon vanished away; with the other it fastened like a nail, in a sure place. And... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 1:15

And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. This verse throws a light upon the real design Naomi had in view in all her discourse, when seemingly persuading her daughters-in-law to go back. For when she talked of the gods to which Orpah was returned, nothing can more decidedly shew how much she desired Ruth to follow the true God of Israel; however it might at first view appear that she recommended Ruth to follow... read more
