Ruth and Naomi

On this page you'll find images of Ruth alone, as well as Ruth and Naomi together. Naomi was the wife of Elimelech and Ruth's mother-in-law. Her name is derived from a root signifying sweetness or pleasure. Naomi left Judea with her husband and two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, during a time of famine and went to the land of Moab. At the end of ten years Naomi, now left a widow and childless, heard that there was plenty again in Judah. She told her two daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpah, that she wanted to return home to Bethlehem. Orpah decided to return to her own people, but Ruth, who loved Naomi with all her heart, resolved to return to Bethlehem beside Naomi.
