Naomi is everything to Ruth, and Ruth cleaves to Naomi. Cleaved dabaq means to stick to, adhere to, cling to, join with, stay with, stay in close proximity to and which yields the noun form for " glue ". Dabaq describes something that sticks or clings to something else Ezek It is interesting that one of the most concentrated uses of " dabaq " in the OT is found in this short story of Ruth Ru 1: NAS translates dabaq as - 1 , closer 1 , clung 4 , deeply attracted 1 , fasten its grip 1 , follow closely 1 , held fast 1 , hold 2 , hold fast 2 , holding fast 1 , joined 2 , joined together 1 , overtake 1 , overtook 5 , pursued him closely 1 , pursued them closely 1 , remained steadfast 1 , stay 1 , stay close 1 , stayed close 1 , stick 1 , stick together 1 , stuck 2.
Dabaq often refers to physical things sticking to each other, especially parts of the body as described vividly by Job who said. Spurgeon on Ps Dabaq also conveys the ideas of loyalty and devotion as in the first use of dabaq where "a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh" Ge 2: As alluded to earlier, this idea of leaving former affections and loyalties and shifting them to Jehovah is found numerous times in Deuteronomy, as for example in Dt In this verse we also see that reverential awe fear of God is in part manifest by one cleaving closely to Him.
This truth gives us some insight into Ruth's cleaving to Naomi and ultimately to Naomi's God. The first use of akoloutheo in the NT is instructive, Matthew writing that Peter and Andrew, upon hearing Jesus' call. In a similar way Ruth left her friends, family, familiar culture and foreign gods and followed Naomi even in face of Naomi's discouragement to do so! What great faith " Ruth the Moabitess " manifested.
Do I have the faith and willingness to commit to follow Jesus Who taught that. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's shall save it. MacDonald has nicely summarized this dramatic scene describing.
Naomi was a grieving widow, stripped of the earthly joys of husband and family by divine judgment. Orpah , having soberly considered the words of her mother-in-law, proved to be a leaving widow, choosing the easiest and most convenient course. There was hard work and poverty ahead since they were without a male provider. There was separation from home and loved ones, too. Old and New Testaments. Wiersbe succinctly describes the scene as…. To be united with. To join oneself to closely. It is used metaphorically in this verse to describe the marriage bond.
To adhere to closely, be faithfully devoted to. Proskollao was a medical term used to describe the uniting of wounds. Here this compound verb denotes the most intimate union. This verb emphasizes not only permanence but also unity of the two who have been "glued" together. Take a picture of a husband and another of his wife and glue them together.
Allow time for the glue to set. What happens when you try to take the two individual pictures apart? Do you see what God is saying about the dissolution of the marriage covenant between a husband and a wife? The Lxx uses the root verb kollao which means to join closely, to "glue together," to unite, to cling to, to adhere to, to cleave to, to come in close contact with. It was used in 1Cor 6: Lxx uses prostithemi meaning to add to something that is already in existence, of persons who are added to a group already existing, or who are attached to an individual, to whom they henceforth belong.
Comment - This warning is coupled with clear consequences - "know with certainty that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until time phrase you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you which is exactly what happened when they were exiled to Babylon for 70 years!
Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but stay here with my maids. And she lived with her mother-in-law. And behold, the chariots and the horsemen pursued him closely. One of the saddest verses in the Bible in my opinion! The wisest man doing the most foolish thing!
The Lxx uses the root verb kollao , indicating Solomon "stuck like glue" to these foreign women and their idolatrous gods turned his heart from the living God. If this could happen to Solomon, it could happen to any of us! A refreshing contrast with Solomon's attraction to evil! Here King Hezekiah is "glued to" God, so to speak. And the result in 2Ki And I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, And all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales. THE first girl I ever kissed in public was named Ruth. Several hundred people watched as the Zeeland High School junior play reached the romantic moment between the leading man and woman.
After the performance this comment filtered back to me from someone in the audience:. The biblical book of Ruth, however, is anything but cool. The love and loyalty Ruth displayed for her mother-in-law, Naomi, bathes the story with warmth and tenderness. Ruth's love for her mother-in-law is only part of this love story, however. Boaz, Naomi's relative, exercises his right as kinsman-redeemer and takes Ruth to be his wife Ruth He brings into focus our Redeemer, Jesus, who purchases us with His blood, takes us into His family, and surrounds us with His unfailing love.
As objects of Christ's redeeming love, we sinners should never be reserved about expressing our love to Him. May it never be said of us in our relationship to Jesus that our love is cold and mechanical. Both of them had an affection for Naomi, and therefore set out with her upon her return to the land of Judah. But the hour of test came; Naomi most unselfishly set before each of them the trials which awaited them, and bade them if they cared for ease and comfort to return to their Moabitish friends.
It is one thing to love the ways of the Lord when all is fair, and quite another to cleave to them under all discouragements and difficulties.
LIFE LESSONS FROM THE LADIES The Book of Ruth: Lesson 1 - PDF
The kiss of outward profession is very cheap and easy, but the practical cleaving to the Lord, which must show itself in holy decision for truth and holiness, is not so small a matter. How stands the case with us, is our heart fixed upon Jesus, is the sacrifice bound with cords to the horns of the altar? Orpah is heard of no more; in glorious ease and idolatrous pleasure her life melts into the gloom of death; but Ruth lives in history and in heaven, for grace has placed her in the noble line whence sprung the King of kings.
Morning and evening See also Surgeon's sermon on Ruth 1: And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: You should do the same. And she saith, 'Lo, thy sister-in-law hath turned back unto her people, and unto her god, turn thou back after thy sister-in-law. And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, thy sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now thou also after thy sister-in-law. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us.

Note not " god " but " gods " indicating the Orpah's polytheistic paganism practiced in Moab with the despicable idol Chemosh being the chief Moabite false "deity", one so vile that its "worship" was associated with child sacrifice 2Ki 3: Up to this point in the narrative, one might have assumed that both daughters had forsaken idolatry and become Yahweh worshipers.
Now however it seems clear that Oprah's choice of homeland is a choice for her " gods " and not the one true, living God. Naomi's assessment is that Orpah has returned to idolatry cf Nu As Orpah goes back, she walks off the pages of Scripture into silence and into oblivion, never to heard from again.
One ship sails East And another West, By the selfsame winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sails, And not the gales, That tells them the way to go! Like the winds of the sea Are the waves of Time, As we voyage along through life; 'Tis the set of the soul That determines the goal, And not the calm or the strife!
McGee, Ruth and Esther: This is the third time Naomi commands Ruth to return to her people! This scene reminds one of the dying words of Joshua who called for a decision saying "choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: Jesus call to discipleship echoes a similar demand - If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Your people shall be my people , and your God , my God. But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: But Ruth answered, "Don't force me to leave you.
Don't make me turn back from following you. Wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: But Ruth replied, "Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. I will go wherever you go and live wherever you live. And Ruth saith, 'Urge me not to leave thee -- to turn back from after thee; for whither thou goest I go, and where thou lodgest I lodge; thy people is my people, and thy God my God.
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following thee; for whithersoever thou goest, I will go, and wheresoever thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. But Ruth - A dramatic contrast marking a change in direction of her life from godless, hopeless, pagan Gentile to one grafted into Israel and eventually in the lineage of the Messiah. Whenever you observe a "but" or other words associated with contrast, such as yet, nevertheless, on the other hand, etc pause and ask what is the author contrasting?
See more discussion of contrasts There are over uses of this little conjunction "but" in the Bible and all of them are important. Howard Hendricks adds that…. They indicate a change of direction… What does the word but force me to do? To go back to the preceding context… The flip side of comparison is contrast—things that are unlike. We could say that in Bible study, as in love, opposites attract. At least, they attract the eye of the observant reader. There are several ways the biblical writers signify contrast.
The word but is a clue that a change of direction is coming. Living by the Book. Women were last at the cross and first at the open tomb. The church owes a debt to her faithful women which she can never estimate, to say nothing of the debt we owe in our homes to godly wives and mothers. Individuals who were converted from an idolatrous Gentile background include such major figures as Abram Genesis 12 , Naaman the leper 2Kings 5: Examples of national or corporate conversion include Judah in the time of Asa 2Chr Entreat me not to leave thee, My heart goes with thee now; Why turn my footsteps homeward?
No friend so dear as thou! Thy heart has borne my sorrow, And I have wept for thine; And now how can I leave thee? Oh, let thy lot be mine. Refrain Entreat me not to leave thee, Entreat me not to leave thee, Or to return from following after thee; For where thou goest I will go, And where thou lodgest I will lodge; Thy people shall be my people, And thy God my God, Thy people shall be my people, And thy God my God. Oh, do not now entreat me; No friend so dear as thou; My heart would break in anguish If I should leave thee now.
In effect, Ruth was forsaking all that she had ever known to follow the one true God. Although not as famous, Scripture records the commitment of another foreigner named Ittai the Gittite a Philistine was in a group of men from Gath who had come to the side of David in Jerusalem. Return and remain with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile; return to your own place.
