Migration is a means of God’s love and God’s company. In the story of Comadre Ruth and Naomi, we see the embodied hesed love of God in the friendship vows that Ruth makes to Naomi in times of crisis and duress. Comadre Ruth did not know that she carried the seed of the Messiah and her actions secured his arrival in the coming generations.
