Who is Naomi in The Bible?

Answer 1

Naomi was an Israelite woman. She and her family went to the land of Moab during a famine in Israel. While they were in Moab, one of Naomi's sons married a Moabite woman named Ruth. After a while, however, Naomi's husband and sons died.

When Naomi returned to Israel, her daughter-in-law Ruth followed her, and eventually Ruth married Boaz, who was a relative of Naomi.

Ruth and Boaz were the great-grandparents of King David, and thus the ancestors of Joseph, the father of Jesus.

Answer 2

Naomi is a character in The Bible, specifically in the Book of Ruth. She was the mother-in-law of Ruth and Orpah. Naomi's story focuses on themes of loyalty, faithfulness, and redemption as she navigates loss, struggles, and ultimately finds hope through the steadfast loyalty of her daughter-in-law Ruth.

Answer 3

Naomi was Ruth's mother in law. Or, Ruth was Naomi's daughter in law.

Ruth 1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

Answer 4

Ruth was a superlative servant of God. Naomi and her family had sojourned in Moab during a famine. Ruth, a Moabitess, became Naomi's daughter-in-law. She had had a long stretch of time during which she observed Naomi's righteousness, and she (Ruth) became convinced that she must serve the One God and abandon her former idolatry. She went on to become so righteous that God made her the ancestress of King David.

There was a famine in the era of the Judges. A prominent man named Elimelech went to wait out the lean years in the neighboring land of Moab, with his wife (Naomi) and two sons. The sons married Moabite women and later died, and Elimelech also died. Naomi decided to return to Israel, and her daughter-in-law, Ruth the Moabitess, accompanied her with the intention of converting to Judaism. The two were penniless, and supported themselves by gleaning grain (Leviticus 23:22) in other people's fields. Naomi advised Ruth to glean in the field of Boaz, since he was a relative of Elimelech.

Boaz commanded his field-workers to be considerate toward her.

Naomi, seeking a husband for the young Ruth, sent her to Boaz's threshing-floor when he would be there, in the hope that he would want to marry her. Boaz informed her that there was another relative who, according to custom, had prerogative to redeem Elimelech's field and marry her. The next day, the other man refused to take Ruth, and she and Boaz were married.
