Answer:
It shows the importance of passing on Jewish practices.
Step-by-step explanation:
Naomi is the mother-in-law of Ruth, the mother of Obed, the descendent from which King David will come. These two women are perfect examples of loyalty and perseverance, and their story is revealed in the Book of Ruth.
After the death of her two sons and her husband, Naomi decided to return to her native place Bethlehem. And she also 'released' her two daughters-in-law to go back to their homes as they have no obligation to stay with her. While Orpah did go back to her home, Ruth refused to leave her mother-in-law and declared
"Entreat me not to leave thee,
And to return home from following after thee;
For whither thou goest, I will go;
And where thou lodgest, I will lodge;
Thy people are my people, and thy God, my God.
Where thou diest, will I die, and there be buried;
May God do so to me, and more also,
If aught but death part thee and me.”
This verse from the book of Ruth reveals her loyalty and decision to stick with her mother-in-law despite being not a Jew herself. Both Naomi and Ruth decided to stick to their husbands’ side, and through that, they show how it is important to pass on the Jewish practices and keep them alive, passing on to their generations.
