Ruth 1:8

[After some time, probably as they approach the border with Israel in the Jordan Valley, Naomi opens up a dialogue.]
Naomi said to her daughters-in-law, ”Turn around, go back to your mothers’ homes [You have followed me far enough now]. May the Lord (Yahweh) show you grace (unmerited favor, loving care, faithful love) as you have done to my dead [plural, my husband and my two sons] and to me. [This is the first time the book’s key word, Hebrew ­chesed, is used. The subject is the Lord, who is the source of grace and faithful, caring love. See also Ruth 2:20; 3:10.]
