Naomi is speaking to her Moabite daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, on the road back toward Judah after the deaths of all three women's husbands. Childless widows in that world depended on a husband's household for security, so Naomi prays that the LORD would give each young woman a new marriage and the settled life that came with it.
