Commentary on Ruth 1:10

Theological / Devotional

Surely we will return. Social custom would have obliged the two young women to remain with Naomi and to lay their plans as she should direct. Verses 11 and 12 imply the additional custom that required a man to marry his brother’s wife and thereby perpetuate his brother’s name and family (see Deut. 25:5-10).
