Orpah: Ruth's sister-in-law who returned to Moab rather than accompanying Naomi to Judah
Orpah married one of Naomi's sons but was widowed during the family's sojourn in Moab. When Naomi decided to return to Judah, Orpah initially started the journey but ultimately kissed her mother-in-law farewell and returned to her people. This decision contrasts sharply with Ruth's famous loyalty ('where you go I will go'). Orpah represents the understandable choice to remain with one's own people, while Ruth's choice led to inclusion in the Messianic line.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A feminine proper noun designating Ruth's Moabite sister-in-law. The name appears in Ruth 1:4 (introducing her) and 1:14 (describing her departure). The consistent transliteration across languages ('Orpá,' 'Orpa') preserves the Hebrew name. While often contrasted negatively with Ruth, the narrative presents Orpah's choice sympathetically—she blessed Naomi and left honorably. Her decision represents the expected course; Ruth's path was the extraordinary one. 2×
