Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die — there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you! - Ruth 1:16-17
Mentioning death was no farce - the immensely patriarchal society in which Ruth and Naomi resided ordained that no father or husband meant no income or social standing. Yet still, Ruth cleaved to Naomi, like Chavah cleaved to Adam.
When Ruth gave birth to a son, her husband Boaz is regarded as nothing more than a sperm donor (Ruth 4:17) and the women of the town declared “a son has been born to Naomi!”
Is this a story about Lesbianism, which was not forbidden at all in the Law (Torah)? Whatever the answer, it is a story of love and loyalty between two women. - Paul Halsall
