Ruth and Naomi

Picture
Ruth was great-grandmother of King David, and therefore a direct ancestor of Jesus. At Naomi's suggestion, Ruth marries a kinsman of Naomi, called Boaz, but this is the perpetuate her dead husband Mahlon's line.









Ruth 1:16-18:
And Ruth said [to Naomi],


Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee:
for whither thou goest, I will go;
and where thou lodgest, I will lodge:
thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God:
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:
the LORD do so to me, and more also,
if ought but death part thee and me.

When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.


Whether or not there was a lesbian relationship occurring between Ruth and Naomi, there was a undeniably loyal and loving connection.
