Who was Ruth before she married Mahlon?+

Ruth was a Moabite woman who married Mahlon, the son of Naomi and Elimelech, while they were living in Moab during the famine. Although Moabites were traditionally considered outsiders to the covenant people of Israel, Ruth's faith and loyalty transcended these cultural boundaries.

What does Naomi mean when she asks to be called 'Mara'?+

Naomi asks to be called 'Mara' (meaning 'bitter') because she feels that the Lord has brought her sorrow and loss—the deaths of her husband and sons. This name reflects her grief, though her situation will ultimately be redeemed through Ruth and her future relationship with Boaz.
