In the wake of her devastating loss, Ruth may have drawn even closer to Naomi and listened willingly to the older woman as she spoke about the almighty God, Jehovah, his wonderful works, and the loving, merciful way he dealt with his people.
Dukacita akibat kehilangan suaminya telah mendekatkan Rut kepada Naomi dan ia mau mendengarkan saat ibu mertuanya berbicara tentang Allah Yehuwa Yang Mahakuasa, karya ciptaan - Nya yang menakjubkan, serta perlakuan - Nya yang pengasih dan berbelaskasihan terhadap umat - Nya.
