Contextual Overview
6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the land of Moab, for she had heard in the land of Moab that the LORD had visited His people in giving them food. 7 So she departed from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. 8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead and with me. 9 "May the LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. 10 And they said to her, "No, but we will surely return with you to your people." 11 But Naomi said, "Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 12 "Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight and also bear sons, 13 would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is harder for me than for you, for the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me." 14 And they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.15 Then she said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law."
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Orpah: Genesis 31:28, Genesis 31:55, 1 Kings 19:20, Matthew 10:37, Matthew 19:22, Mark 10:21, Mark 10:22, 2 Timothy 4:10
but Ruth: The LXX add, ךבי ונוףפסורום ויע פןם כבןם בץפחע, "and returned to her own people." The Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic are to the same purpose. It seems a very natural addition, and agrees with the assertion in the next verse; and is accordingly adopted by Houbigant as a part of the text. Deuteronomy 4:4, Deuteronomy 10:20, Proverbs 17:17, Proverbs 18:24, Isaiah 14:1, Zechariah 8:23, Matthew 16:24, John 6:66-69, Acts 17:34, Hebrews 10:39
Reciprocal: Genesis 34:3 - soul Genesis 45:15 - Moreover Ruth 1:7 - they went Ruth 2:11 - all that 2 Samuel 19:39 - kissed Barzillai

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again,.... Not being able to bear the thought of parting, or that they must be obliged to it:
and Orpah kissed her mother in law; gave her the parting kiss, as the Jews e call it; and which was used by other people f; but not without affection to her, and took her leave of her, as her kiss testified, since it must be so; and being moved by her reasons, and having a greater inclination to her own country than Ruth had; of the kiss at parting, see Genesis 31:28
but Ruth clave unto her; hung about her, would not part from her, but cleaved unto her in body and mind; forsaking her own people, and her father's house; neither the thought of them, nor of her native country, nor of not having an husband, or any likelihood of it, nor of poverty and distress, had any manner of influence upon her, but determined she was to go and abide with her.
e Bereshit Rabba, sect. 70. fol. 62. 4. Shemot, sect. 5. fol. 94. 4. f "----discedens oscula nulla dedi". Ovid. ep. 3. ver. 14.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The kiss at parting as well as at meeting is the customary friendly and respectful salutation in the East. The difference between mere kindness of manner and self-sacrificing love is most vividly depicted in the words and conduct of the two women. Ruth’s determination is stedfast to cast in her lot with the people of the Lord (compare the marginal references and Matthew 15:22-28).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ruth 1:14. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law — The Septuagint add, Και επεστρεψεν εις τον λαον αυτης, And returned to her own people. The Vulgate, Syrian, and Arabic, are to the same purpose.
