Ruth clang unto Naomi, Naomi representing the Jewish nation, but Orpah returned back home to the land of Moab, to a people who did not serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

When Naomi heard that God had visited her people back in Israel, by giving them bread (spiritual and physical prosperity),

and that the famine which caused her to flee from the land of Israel, had also come to its end.

She decided to return back to her own people and nation as in Ruth 1:1-6.

During the ten years of Naomi’s stay in the land of the Moabites, Naomi lost her husband and two sons.

Ruth ; who was married to her two dead sons, also decided to return back to Israel with her.

It was in the season of spring time when Naomi decided to make her Journey back to Israel.

When Orpah realised that she could not afford to forsake her own people, tradition, culture and false gods (as in Ruth 1:14-15),

Orpah decided to stay in the land of the Moabites, from whence she was born. But Ruth; being a virtuous woman with a Godly passion, she chose to cling upon Naomi as it is written in Ruth 1:14-19.

When Naomi and Ruth returned to Israel, it was the season of Barley harvest (as it is written in Ruth 1:22), the season when the offering of barley was given unto to God as a Passover offering.

Ruth worked in Boaz’s field during the season of 50days of omer counting, which falls in the season of spring time (Passover), until summer time (Pentecost).

This was also the season of omer counting, the counting of the 50 days, or the counting of seven weeks as it is written in Leviticus 23:15-17, when Naomi and Ruth returned back to Israel.

The Omer counting begins around the second day of Passover (in spring time), and finishes on the 50th day which falls on the day of Pentecost (in summer time).

In this season or period of 50 days (called Omer counting ), Ruth obeyed the advice of Boaz as it is written in Ruth 2:8.

Ruth faithfully worked and counted the omer through the service which she carried out in the fields of Boaz ( Ruth 2:21-23 ).

Beginning from the season of barley harvestin spring time ( Passover ), and finishing in the season of wheat harvest in summer time (Pentecost),

Ruth fullfilled her omer counting as it is written in the book of Ruth 2:23.

When Boaz, the wealthy Israelite from the tribe of Judah , noticed the virtuous values of Ruth, he decided to pursue after the legal rights of marring her.

And during the season of Pentecost (being the 50th day), the marriage legal rights between Boaz and Ruth, were sealed and conformed.

Ruth became the mother of Obed, she was also the great grandmother of King David as it is written in Ruth 4:13-22.

And through the lineage of king David that is where our Lord Yeshua, Jesus Christ descended from.
