Barnes' Notes
Accompanying their mother-in-law to the borders of their own land would probably be an act of Oriental courtesy. Naomi with no less courtesy presses them to return. The mention of the mother' s house, which the separation of the women' s house or tent from that of the men facilitates, is natural in her mouth, and has more tenderness in it than father' s house would have had; it does not imply the death of their fathers Ruth 2:11.
