“Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.”
Ruth 1:6 KJV
Sometime later, Naomi heard that Yahweh had visited His people and blessed them with an abundant harvest; so she decided to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law. Yahweh had observed His people and given them food. It is notable that, while in the law, famine is attributed to unfaithfulness and fruitfulness to faithfulness, here Yahweh simply blessed the people in the days of the judges when everyone did whatever they wanted to do. This reveals the mercies of Yahweh, in the old covenant of the law, who still brings sunrise and rainfall to all, whether they do good or evil. In the new covenant of love, Yahweh loved the world—He gave His only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him, will never perish but experience everlasting life. He is Yahweh of goodness and faithfulness forever! Amen!
