Contextual Overview

6When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab. 7Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah. 8Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back, each of you to your mother's home. May the LORD show you loving devotion, as you have shown to your dead and to me. 9May the LORD enable each of you to find security in the home of your new husband." And she kissed them as they wept aloud 10and said, "Surely we will return with you to your people."11But Naomi replied, "Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb to become your husbands? 12Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons, 13would you wait for them to grow up? Would you refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me." 14Again they wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her. 15"Look," said Naomi, "your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; follow her back home."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they said unto her,.... When they had eased themselves in cries and tears, and had recovered their speech:

surely we will return with thee unto thy people; to be proselyted, as the Targum; not only to dwell with them, but to worship with them.
