Ruth's simple affirmation that she will do all that Naomi has instructed her demonstrates her trust in Naomi's judgment and her willingness to participate actively in the process of seeking her own redemption. Her compliance without question reveals the deep bond between Ruth and Naomi and her confidence that her mother-in-law's counsel, combined with her own virtue, will serve her well. Ruth's agreement sets in motion the final phase of the narrative, in which her bold action and Boaz's integrity will converge toward redemption.
