Now getting back to the 14 verse of the first chapter of Ruth it reads, then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpah whose name means stiff neck, kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. And she said, see, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister in law.
Now just to stick a pen there, Orpah promised to return with Naomi yet once she gave her an out Orpah was gone. Now the part where Naomi said to Ruth see your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods, just to put emphasis on one of the gods of Moab which was their main god named Chemosh. Chemosh was a fire god and the Moabites worship Chemosh by taking their infants to this statue lighting its arms until it was red-hot and placed their infants in its arms to be a living sacrifice to their gods. While Orpah went her way Ruth remained, as the Bible says Ruth clung to Naomi, this is an expression of loyalty and devotion. Unknowingly, Ruth was making a life changing decision to stay because this decision would determine if Jesus Christ was to be born in Bethlehem. Remember that Ruth is the great grandmother of David which connects her to Jesus because of the long line. He’s a descendent of David and Ruth. It was because of Ruth’s choice that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. And Bethlehem means house of bread and how ironic that Jesus the bread of life comes from this land. Now continuing on in the 16th verse of the first chapter in the book of Ruth, it reads but Ruth said, do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you. And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her she said no more. Ruth’s decision had spiritual implications. Her confession of faith, your people shall be my people, and your God my God recalls the central covenant promise: I will be your God and you shall be my people.

After the death of Naomi’s husband, she decided to stay there with her two sons who were married to Moabite women which was forbidden by Jewish law. Naomi sons Mahlon and Chilion their names meant puny and sickly and pining or crybaby. In that time people name their children by the circumstances they were in or how their children were born. So her children might’ve had been sickly looking. As more time passed Naomi’s two sons died leaving her with no one but her daughters in laws, enemies of Israel, Moabite women. So, Naomi decided it was time for her to return home. She and her two daughters in law’s went on their way to return to the land of Judah. Then Naomi said to her two daughters in laws, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, if you have dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband! Then she kissed them and they lifted up their voices and wept. And they said to her, no, we will returned with you to your people. Then Naomi said, turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that they may become your husbands? Turn back, my daughters; go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband this night and should bear sons, would you therefore wait till they were grown? Will you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me. And they lifted up their voices and wept again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and left, but Ruth clung to her. Naomi felt her situation was God’s judgment on her life. Because of the mistakes of coming to Moab she said the Lord has dealt bitterly with me and you have to suffer for it. She saw this as a judgment of God against her. It is true whenever we sin against God we also affect others, sometimes we take people down with us when the wrongs are made. Naomi and her husband chose Moabite wives, a people committed to serving Idol gods for their sons. And as a result of Naomi and her husband’s actions, they were experiencing the outcomes of their sins. Naomi saw the consequences of her sins affecting the lives of her daughters in laws. |
