Naomi bids her daughters-in-law to go and find new husbands. Orpah does, “But Ruth said: ‘Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2021/02/01/where-you-go-i-go/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Where You Go, I Go</span></a>]]></description>
