Naomi's grief and Ruth's loyal oath.

After a famine struck Bethlehem, Elimelech took his wife Naomi and their two sons to Moab. Elimelech and the two sons died one after another, and Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah grieved together. Later, Naomi heard that there was food again in Bethlehem and decided to return home. She urged her two daughters-in-law to go back to their mothers. Orpah said goodbye in tears, but Ruth refused to leave. Ruth told Naomi that wherever Naomi went, she would go with her, and that Naomi's home would be her home too. So the two of them returned to Bethlehem together, ready for a new life as the barley harvest began.
