Ruth 1:17 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The Lord do so to me. — Ruth clinches her resolutions with a solemn oath, in which, if we are to take the words literally, she swears by the name of the God of Israel. With this Naomi yields; after so solemn a protest she can urge no more.

Ruth 1:17

17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
