The Moabite widow whose loyalty to Naomi is one of the Bible's greatest acts of love
open_in_newA woman from Moab who married into an Israelite family. After her husband died, she refused to leave her mother-in-law Naomi's side despite being urged to go back to her own people. Her famous words — 'Where you go I will go' — are some of the most quoted in Scripture. She ended up marrying Boaz, the kinsman-redeemer, and became the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Jesus.
When a Name Was About to Disappear
Deuteronomy 25:5-10Ruth is invoked here as a living example of this exact law in action — her story of loyalty and redemption is the direct result of the levirate custom Moses is describing in this passage.
