Document Summary
Elimelech"s family went to moab because of the famine back in their land (ephrathites from. Bethlehem in judah underlines the long-standing connection with bethlehem) moab had no famine: abraham, then they returned to bethlehem with the daughters in law when the lord had provided food again there. Naomi"s husband dies, then her sons marry (to orpah and ruth both moabites) and the sons die as well: the widows are left without their husbands. As you have dealt with the dead ruth 1:8 nrsv: naomi referred to her husband and sons as dead, rather than a more intimate or appropriate name such as my loved ones . Especially since it starts with naomi and ends with naomi. Do i still have sons in my womb that they may become your husbands? ruth 1:11-13 nrsv: ruth 1:13 naomi blames the lord for the death of her husband and sons. Orpah and ruth initially both show concern for naomi: ruth 1:10.
