Rute 1:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 1:20

And she said, call me not Naomi, call me Mara
The one signifying "prosperity", according to Josephus F13, and the other "grief"; but he is not always correct in his interpretation of Hebrew words, or to be depended on; by this indeed her different states are well enough expressed, and he rightly observes, that she might more justly be called the one than the other; but the words signify, the one "sweet" and pleasant, and the other "bitter", see ( Exodus 15:23 ) , and the reason she gives confirms it:

for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me;
had wrote bitter things against her, brought bitter afflictions on her, which were very disagreeable to the flesh, as the loss of her husband, her children, and her substance; see ( lam 3:15 lam 3:19 ) .

Rute 1:20 In-Context

18 Quando Noemi viu que Rute estava de fato decidida a acompanhá-la, não insistiu mais.
19 Prosseguiram, pois, as duas até Belém. Ali chegando, todo o povoado ficou alvoroçado por causa delas. “Será que é Noemi?”, perguntavam as mulheres.
20 Mas ela respondeu:“Não me chamem Noemi, melhor que me chamem de Mara, pois o Todo-poderoso tornou minha vida muito amarga!
21 De mãos cheias eu parti, mas de mãos vazias o SENHOR me trouxe de volta. Por que me chamam Noemi? O SENHOR colocou-se contra mim! O Todo-poderoso me trouxe desgraça!”
22 Foi assim que Noemi voltou das terras de Moabe, com sua nora Rute, a moabita. Elas chegaram a Belém no início da colheita da cevada.
