Commentary on the n Text, Kom, ; xil, 5 10 Memory v pay's Lesson. ; .,-, y: f "And Ruth said." After Orpah had reUV Vonmi would have her know nnrf RUip fullv tbe.importance of her decision. reaJ fnrce upon her t& decide ;it for God. also would help Jier.tp contrast the iffrrence between a heathen woman and 4 Israelite. The question would then be a"ttled upon thfe side of religion.' It was eland with its comforts ; and familiari- 5 and idols, or it was a strange land, nrrnia strangers, iu uic service 01 Israeli cA It was a separation from all her for ,Jrlife to go with. Naomu Tlntreat nu 111 : j. lojive thee.' Here came the answer ?rmn the heart. At this great crisis in her vfe Ruth kept close - company with, one vho served the God whom she now chose. J- plead for the personal help and .fellow of Naomi. She desired that she would riot refer to her idols, relatives and home, while she was in such a trying . position. t once she decided on her associates, and broke away from every opposing influence. 'Whither thou goest I will go.". Thus Ruth pad? the debate. Nothing could be more decisive or brave than this; she seems to v-avc 'had another spirit and another speech, iow her sister was gone, and it is an in - stance of the graCe of God inclining the soul to the resolute choice of thai better "rflvi. Though to a country unknown . to her and one of which she had been trained to have a low opinion she would travel there with Naomi. "Where thou lodgest, I wUl lodge."; By her firm resolutions she declared her purpose to be one with Nao mi's people. 'Though Naomi was under af fliction, and returning to her own country . in humility, Huth was firm in her purpose to share in her lot. I 'Thy people, shall be mv people." Thus she would renounce all her connections and prospects in the land of Moab, and live according to all the rules of Naomi's people in Canaan. ''And thy God my God." I will adore, the God of Israel, the only living and true God, trust in Him alone, serve Him, and in every thing be ruled. bv Him. . 17 "Will I die." Ruth made this her lifetime choice. 'There will I be buried." Not desiring to have so much as her dead body carried back to the country of Moab, in token of any remaining kindness for i. She would, by this choice, desire o forget all relationship with her own people or their religion. v She was ready to make the change with all it meant. : "The Lord do go," otc To -prove her sincerity in this matter Ruth called God- to witness, and asked Him to multiply her troubles if she did not keep true to this solemn vow. Her words were an ancient form of an oath. Bv thus callinc God to witness she would fix a lasting obligation upon herself never to leave this way. It came to pass, even as 1hey desire. for when Naomi became old she lived with Ruth and Boaz and was the nurse of their son Ohcd. Chap. 4: 15. 16. 18, "Then she left speaking." There could be no room to doubt her sincerity ; and true motive. Herf vow was convincing. Since Ruth's purposes reached beyond a mere impulse" and family affection, Naomi to safe in allowing her to face all the con- 19. :'They two went." IWhen they were Wof the same mind they could walk lov ingly together. When they were pledged to be tvvvo to God they j then could find abundance of love for each other and fel loivship so dear. The Journey could be; made with joy, even thqugh ihey keenly' felt their loss and bereavement in their widowhood. "The; city was moved." It appears that Naomi .was not only well knon but highly respected also at Beth lehem; a proof that Elimelech was of high consideration in that, place. "Is this Nao mi?" Her friends had remembered Tier as! ;they last -saw her. What their sorrow" was, at having to go into a heathen country we do not read, but they eagerly met her. The chanpe which i affliction had wrought - sur prised Naomi's friends. They probably were s'.u-rised a her -poverty, since she hart h''- Canaan to escape the famine. 20. "'Vd me Mara." Her former name was -fitting in her former life, as Naomi mran? beautiful, pleasant, sweetness. Now that ru'Iiiction had changed her lot Mara, meaning bitterness, was a more , suitable name. They, had known her young, happy and free from care. By-this request in the ehanee of her name Naomi showed her sub mission to her lonely lot, and also her pa tient sn'.rit toward -those who commented poi cr affairs.: .-"The ' UUmighty, ; hath dealt."' She acknowledges the hand of God.' ''is mighty hand in the affliction. It was dutv and1 her 'interest "to submit to Him. She I had not chosen the affliction, ; She Mt the bitterness -of .her lonely life ?nd circumstances, yet Jierheart .yearned to serve Him among His people. ; 21. "Went out full." Having a husband jd two sons.' Her eup of joy was full. 'Home again empty." I The - Lord spared er life and enabled her to return, but He had taken all her . family. .'.'Testified ' a?amst me." Since God had "wrought the change in her life,; according to His wis dom, she wonld not hold to the name that: sPoke contrary to His dealings. . With her Affliction there was humility:.- God's rod i atlhchon was as His voice. Khe humbly . considered her affliction . as" coming from the Lord's hand upon her and her family fr sin. Perhaps she considered herself as wilty in not having left Moab immediately, on thj death of her husband. Yet we con liude that Naomi was receiving , the peace able fruits of righteousness, from her af fliction, since she held tier; integrity, and ought a humble place among God's peor P, offering her humble confession to them.
