Ruth 1:4

⁴And they took wives of the women of Moab, of which one was called Orpha, and the other Ruth. And they dwelt there ten years.

The book of Ruth 1 opens with a scene of famine and migration, as Elimelech and his family leave Bethlehem for Moab. Tragedy strikes, leaving Naomi a widow and then bereft of her two sons, who had married Moabite women. In her deep grief, Naomi decides to return to Judah, urging her daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, to remain in Moab. While Orpah eventually departs, Ruth makes a profound declaration of loyalty, choosing to stay with Naomi and embrace her people and her God, setting the stage for a story of faithfulness, redemption, and divine providence amidst human sorrow.
