Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(my delight).
Mother
-in-
law
of Ruth (
Ruth 1:2
2
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. (Ruth 1:2)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Wife of
Elimelech
,
mother
of
Mahlon
and
Chilion
, and mother-in-
law
of Ruth. After dwelling
ten
years in the country of
Moab
, when her
husband
and sons were dead, she returned to the land of
Judah
, with the widowed Ruth. She asked to be called no more Naomi, “pleasant,” but
Mara
, “bitter,” saying “for the
Almighty
hath dealt very bitterly with me.” She sought the welfare of Ruth, whose
marriage
with
Boaz
comforted her, and she became
nurse
to their
son
Obed
(Ruth 1-4). Typically she represents desolate
Israel
, as Ruth does the despised but pious
remnant
brought into full
blessing
at the end on the ground of sovereign
mercy
, even as
Gentiles
, yet casting themselves on the goodness of the
Kinsman
-Redeemer (see
Isaiah 63:16
16
Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. (Isaiah 63:16)
).
