Ruth1:15
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods : return thou after thy sister in law.
Which she saith, partly to try Ruths sincerity and constancy; partly, that by upbraiding Orpah with her Idolatry, she might consequently turn her from it; and partly, that she might intimate to her, that if she went with her, she must embrace the True God and Religion.
