Who is Orpah?
A young, average-built woman in a faded clay-red wool tunic with a narrow striped mantle drawn over dark wavy hair. Her modest clothing is dusted from travel, with plain leather sandals and a small cloth bundle. Her softer, retreating silhouette distinguishes her from the basket-bearing young widow beside Naomi.
