Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ruth 1:6

NAOMI DECIDES TO RETURN TO BETHLEHEM (Ruth 1:6-10)"Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread. And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house: Jehovah deal... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ruth 1:11

ORPAH RETURNS"And Naomi said, Turn again my daughters: Why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons; would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having a husband? nay, my daughters,; for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah hath gone... read more

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ruth 1:11

Ruth 1:11. Are there yet any more sons in my womb, &c.— Naomi refers in these words to that very ancient custom, which seems to have existed from the beginning of the world, of the brother marrying the widow of his brother when the latter has died without children. See Genesis 38:0 and Deuteronomy 25:5. There is great beauty and pathos in this natural and unadorned relation of the parting of Naomi and her daughters. read more

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

8. Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house—In Eastern countries women occupy apartments separate from those of men, and daughters are most frequently in those of their mother. the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead—that is, with my sons, your husbands, while they lived. read more
