83 — Person: Naomi

Number: 83

Person: Naomi

Action: Returning to Bethlehem (from Moab, with Ruth)

Object: Road / Bethlehem

Scripture connection: Ruth 1:6–7 — Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the LORD had visited his people and given them food. So she set out from the place where she was with her two daughters-in-law, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. Ruth 1:22 — So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

Memory hook: 83 = Chet-Gimel = fence + journey; Ruth 1. Naomi on the road to Bethlehem — the number 83 is the mother-in-law and the return.

Why this number? 83 = Chet-Gimel = fence + journey; Ruth 1. Naomi returned to Bethlehem; the number 83 ties her to the Hebrew letters and the road.
