Orpah is a Moabite woman and the daughter-in-law of Naomi. Her name means mane. Elimelech and Naomi are Hebrews, but they relocated to Moab with their two sons to escape the famine in Israel. Orpah married one son named Chillion, and Ruth married Mahlon, the other son. After a while, Elimelech and his sons died, leaving Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah widows. Naomi decided to return to Israel because the Lord lifted the famine. She told her daughters-in-law to return to their family in Moab. Orpah returned to her family in Moab while Ruth traveled to Israel with Naomi.
