R. Alpert, Like Bread on the Seder Plate: Jewish Lesbians and the Transformation of Tradition (New York: Columbia University Press, 1997), p. 49. The text of Ruth that Alpert is referencing in 1:16–17 reads, “But Ruth replied [to Naomi], ‘Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus and more may the Lord do to me if anything but death parts me from you.’” All biblical quotations in this essay follow the JPS translation of Ruth.
