[[Image: | [[Image:RuthandNaomi.jpg|thumb|left|Ruth mourning on Naomi]]In 2692, Mahlon and Chilion both died. Now [[Naomi]], Elimelech's widow, said that she had heard that the famine in Israel was over, and she planned to return there. She told Ruth and Orpah that they should each return to her mother's house, but they declined and said that they would rather follow her. After they had traveled part of the way, Naomi told the two women again that they ought to return. She added that she was not likely to find another husband, and therefore Ruth and Orpah would not likely have any other men to marry in order to secure for them a portion of Elimelech's estate, as would otherwise be their right under the levirate law.<ref name=Schechter>Schechter S and Jacobs J, "[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=293&letter=L Levirate marriage]," ''The Jewish Encyclopedia'', 1906.

Orpah finally said goodbye and returned to her mother's house. But Ruth clung to Naomi and begged her not to send her back. She then made a thorough profession of faith: that she would go where Naomi went and sleep where Naomi slept, regard the Israelites as her own people and worship the [[God]] of Israel, and even die and be buried in Israel. Naomi stopped arguing and allowed Ruth to accompany her to her home town of [[Bethlehem]]. | Orpah finally said goodbye and returned to her mother's house.
