Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Ruth’s Loyalty to Naomi
5both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.
6When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
7Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
8Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you to your mother’s home. May the LORD show you loving devotion, as you have shown to your dead and to me. 9May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.” And she kissed them as they wept aloudCross References

Ruth 1:7 Summary
Naomi, along with her two daughters-in-law, decided to leave Moab and head back to Judah because she heard that God was taking care of His people there, providing them with food. This shows that Naomi was trusting in God's provision and care, just like the Israelites did when they followed Him to the Promised Land. As we read in Psalms 37:3-7, we can trust in God's goodness and provision, even when things seem difficult. By taking this step of faith, Naomi was able to return to a place of comfort and familiarity, and we can learn from her example to trust in God's care for us, as seen in Matthew 6:25-34.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Naomi leave Moab with her daughters-in-law?
Naomi left Moab because she heard that the Lord had provided food for His people in Judah, as seen in Ruth 1:6, indicating a shift in God's provision and care, similar to what is described in Exodus 16:4 and Deuteronomy 8:3.
What does it mean that Naomi set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah?
This signifies Naomi's decision to return to her homeland, trusting in God's provision, much like the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land, as described in the book of Joshua, particularly Joshua 1:1-9.
Why were the daughters-in-law accompanying Naomi?
The daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpah, were accompanying Naomi out of loyalty and love, demonstrating the strong bonds that had formed between them, similar to the loyalty seen in the relationship between David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel 18:1-4.
What can we learn from Naomi's actions in this verse?
We can learn about the importance of trusting in God's provision and care, even in difficult circumstances, as seen in Psalms 37:3-7 and Matthew 6:25-34, and being willing to take steps of faith, like Abraham in Genesis 12:1-5.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in your life when you felt the need to return to a place of comfort and familiarity, and how did God provide for you during those times?
- How can you demonstrate loyalty and love to those around you, just as Ruth and Orpah showed to Naomi?
- What are some steps of faith that God is calling you to take, and how can you trust in His provision and care as you take those steps?
- In what ways can you apply the principle of trusting in God's provision, as seen in this verse, to your everyday life and decisions?
Gill's Exposition on Ruth 1:7
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was,.... What part of Moab she had dwelt in, and now removed from, is not said; it is called the country or field of Moab, she returned from; hence
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ruth 1:7
Wherefore 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. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Trapp's Commentary on Ruth 1:7
Rth 1:7 Wherefore 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.Ver. 7. Wherefore she went forth out of the place.] And should not we hasten home to our Father’ s house, where is bread enough? Fugiendum est ad clarissimam patriam ubi Pater, ibi omnia, said Plotinus, the Platonist. Away to heaven; there is our Father, there are all things. And what though we here suffer hardship, as did Naomi and Ruth when they came to Judea? Mendicato pane hic vivamus, saith Luther: heaven will make amends for all. Meanwhile, bread and cheese with the gospel is good cheer, said Mr Greenham. And her two daughters-in-law.] Few such daughters-in-law to be found. Vellent multae socrus suas ad extremes Garamantas solas proficisci, &c. And they went on the way.] Orpah also set forth as forward as Ruth, but persisted not.
The end is better than the beginning: the evening crowneth the day. He that continueth to the end shall be saved. "Remember Lot’ s wife." Aug., De Civ. Dei, lib. ix. cap. 16.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ruth 1:7
(7) Her two daughters in law with her.—Both clearly purposing to go with Naomi to the land of Israel (Rth 1:10), not merely to escort her a little way. Naomi had obviously won the affections of her daughters-in-law, and they were loth to part with her, since such a parting could hardly but be final.
Cambridge Bible on Ruth 1:7
7. to return] Strictly only appropriate to Naomi, cf. Rth 1:22 etc.; the author unconsciously reveals that he is writing from Palestine.
Whedon's Commentary on Ruth 1:7
7. Her two daughters-in-law with her — They would, as a matter of courtesy and love, accompany her a distance on her lonely journey.
