Naomi sends her daughters-in-law away with the blessing of God’s kindness (verse 8.) In his commentary, James McKeown notes that this would mean Naomi had a consciousness, and perhaps experience, of the Lord’s presence in a foreign country. This is unusual as, at that time, deities were believed to be linked to specific territories. Here, we can see the Lord as a God who goes beyond boundaries.

About this Plan
The story of Ruth stands as a story of redemption. Coming from tragedy and as a foreign woman, Ruth is the last person we might expect to see the goodness of God. She becomes a key figure in the story of the Bible and the great-grandmother of King David himself!
