Ruth 1:6 says ' When she heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them'. Even with all the death around her, Naomi listened for the Lord's voice. God came and blessed his people with good crops again. God ended the famine and Naomi celebrated with her daughters in law.
Ruth 1:6 says ' Naomi and her daughters in law prepared to return home from there'.  Naomi was the expert in getting ready to move somewhere compared to her daughters in law. It doesn't say what they packed but Orpah and Ruth probably had never traveled past Moab's border. The three of them were leaving Moab and the graves of those they loved.
Ruth 1:7 says ' With her two daughters in law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah'. Naomi was probably traveling the same route that she was a decade earlier. Then she had a husband and two sons and now only had one bundle to carry and two daughters in law behind her.
