Some Thoughts
Naoimi, in RU 2:20, is referring to DT 25:5-6 and LEV 25:25-55 (also in RU 3:9 and 12-13). Clearly Naomi was well aware of this law, and being from Bethlehem (RU 1:1, 1:19) she was probably counting on it, but the author had a story to tell so didn't make a foreshadowing point of it. / The warning in RU 2:22 was universally fair, but even more appropriate given Ruth's ethnicity and the cultural history summed up in DT 23:3-6. / Compare RU 2:12 to PS 36:7.
