"to the home of each of your mothers"

# shown kindness

"demonstrated that you are loyal"

"kindness" includes the ideas of love, kindness, and faithfulness.

"give you" or "allow you to have"

# you find rest

"Rest" here includes security in marriage.

# they raised their voices and cried

To raise the voice is an idiom for speaking loudly. The daughters cried out loud or wept bitterly. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# We will return

When Orpah and Ruth said "we," they were referring to themselves and not Naomi. So languages that have inclusive and exclusive "we" would use the exclusive form here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])

# with you

Here "you" is the singular form referring to Naomi. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
