Noami was the wife of Elimelech. They moved to Moah, where their two sons each married a Moabite woman: Mahlon married Ruth while Chilion married Orpah. However, all three men died. Naomi decided to return from Moab to Israel, but advised her daughters-in-law to stay in their homeland. Orpah reluctantly agreed, but Ruth stayed with Naomi and converted to Judaism. The two lived together in Israel, where Naomi advised Ruth in marrying Boaz. Because this is a levirate marriage, their child Obed was in a sense Naomi's grandchild. In this sense Ruth was like a daughter to Naomi and allowed her family line to continue.
