Despedida
As despedidas na Bíblia são momentos sagrados de bênção, oração e confiança em Deus. Mesmo na separação, os filhos de Deus se despedem com fé, carinho e esperança de reencontro.

May the Lord give you a good home with another husband." She kissed them, and they all started to cry loudly.
"No! We want to go back with you to your people," they replied.
"Why do you want to go back with me?" Naomi asked. "I’m not able to have any more sons for you to marry. Go back home, my daughters, because I’m too old to marry again.

No. The whole situation is more bitter for me than it is for you, for the Lord has turned against me!"
They started crying loudly again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye. But Ruth held on tightly to Naomi.
