Ruth 1:18

The Pulpit Commentary on Ruth 1:18

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And she perceived. In our idiom we should have introduced the proper name, "And Naomi perceived." That she was determined to go with her. She saw that Ruth was fixed in her resolution. And she left off speaking to her.

She "gave in." Ruth, as Fuller has it, was "a fixed star."
