"Then [Naomi] arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab. . . . And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt . . . with me. And Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto [Naomi]. And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people. . . : return thou after thy sister in law. And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or 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.”
