How was Orpah related to Ruth and Naomi?

        Orpah, sister-in-law of Ruth, and wife of Giilion, son of Naomi.
       As Ruth and Naomi stood ready to depart for the latter's native Beth-Iehem-Judah, Orpah wept as she bade them good-by. She kissed her mother-in-law and turned back to Moab. Her record ends there, while Ruth's journey into great things begins after she becomes a believer in Naomi's God.
       Though Orpah had been closely associated with four who had worshiped God - her husband, her brother-in-law Mahlon, her father-in-law Elimelech, and her mother-in-law Naomi - like Lot's wife, she turned back to her own way of life and worshiped the gods of Moab.
       Orpah showed spiritual indifference, preferring her own rich and highly prosperous Moab to the uncertainties and poverties that lay ahead of the widow Naomi in Beth-lehem- Judah.
       Orpah typifies the normal young woman who selfishly pursues her own way, thinking little of older people and drawing away quickly from sacrifices she can avoid.
