Ruth: Abandon, Sojourn, Recompense: Sabbath

Abandon:

"Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law."
And Ruth said, "Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where though lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy Elohim my Elohim;"
Ruth 1:15,16

O, Yahweh, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto Thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein is no profit.
Jeremiah 16:19

Sojourn:

..."Thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore."
Ruth 2:11

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore Elohim is not ashamed to be called their Elohim: for He hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 11:13-16

Recompense:

"Yahweh recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Yahweh Elohim of Yisrael, under whose wings thou art come to trust."
Ruth 2:12

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of Elohim, ye might receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:36
