Why did Naomi raised Obed and not his mother Ruth?

Naomi raised Obed because Ruth, Obed's mother, was a Moabite woman who may have faced cultural barriers preventing her from raising her child in the Israelite community. Naomi took on the responsibility out of love and care for her grandson.


Where are wedding vows in book of Ruth?

There are no wedding vows written in the book of Ruth, as Ruth was purchased as a wife to Boaz 4:10. The witnesses made mention of the joining of Boaz an Ruth; with Ruth to be equal to (like) that of Rachael, Leah (wives of Jacob - Israel) and their house equal to (like) that of Pharez, son of Tamar and Judah. Their child will be named Obed of Jesse who will be of the blood line of king David.


Who were Ruth's parents in the Bible?

Yes. At Ruth 4:13-17 we read that Boaz married Ruth and they had a son named 'Obed', who became the father of Jesse, David's father. So Ruth was King David's great grandmother.


How far did Ruth and Naomi walk when they returned to Bethlehem in the Bible?

The exact date is unknown as there is no historically-verifiable internal evidence to verify it, but an estimate can be made. Ruth was David's great-grandmother:-Rth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth home as his wife. The LORD blessed her, and she became pregnant and had a son.Rth 4:14 The women said to Naomi, "Praise the LORD! He has given you a grandson today to take care of you. May the boy become famous in Israel!Rth 4:15 Your daughter-in-law [Ruth] loves you, and has done more for you than seven sons. And now she has given you a grandson, who will bring new life to you and give you security in your old age."Rth 4:16 Naomi took the child, held him close, and took care of him.Rth 4:17 The women of the neighborhood named the boy Obed. They told everyone, "A son has been born to Naomi!"Obed became the father of Jesse,who was the father of David.Rth 4:18 This is the family line from Perez to David: Perez, Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon,Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David. [GNB]It is generally accepted by secular historians that David became king about 1010BC, and the Bible says he was 30 at the time:-2Sa 5:4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he ruled for forty years. [GNB]This means David was born in 1040BC.We know David's father was Jesse, and his grandfather was Obed, who was probably born about a year after Ruth married Boaz. This means there were two full generations between the births of both David and Obed, so this brings up the question of how long a generation is. The answer is variable, but if it is taken as 25 years, then this means Obed was born in 1090BC. Because Bethlehem and Moab (where Ruth came from) are on either side of the Dead sea, the length of Ruth's journey from Moab would have been short and can thus be ignored. Adding a few years to account for generational-length variability would therefore make it about 1100BC when Ruth and Naomi moved from Moab to go to Bethlehem.
