Ruth 1:1-9

1In the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruledH8199H1961, there wasH1961 a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 from BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, with his wifeH802 and twoH8147 sonsH1121, wentH1980 to resideH1481 in the landH7704 of MoabH4124. 2The man’sH376 nameH8034 was ElimelechH458, his wife’sH802 nameH8034 was NaomiH5281, and the namesH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 were MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630. They were EphrathitesH673 fromH1035 BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, and they enteredH935 the landH7704 of MoabH4124 and settledH1961 thereH8033.

3Then Naomi’sH5281 husbandH376 ElimelechH458 diedH4191, and sheH1931 was leftH7604 with her twoH8147 sonsH1121, 4who tookH5375 MoabiteH4125 women as their wivesH802, oneH259 namedH8034 OrpahH6204 and the otherH8145 namedH8034 RuthH7327.

And after they had livedH3427 in MoabH8033 about tenH6235 yearsH8141, 5bothH8147 MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630 alsoH1571 diedH4191, and NaomiH802 was leftH7604 without her twoH8147 sonsH3206 and without her husbandH376.

6WhenH3588 Naomi heardH8085H7704 in MoabH4124 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 had attended toH6485 His peopleH5971 by providingH5414 them with foodH3899, sheH1931 and her daughters-in-lawH3618 preparedH6965 to leaveH7725 the landH7704 of MoabH4124. 7Accompanied byH5973 her twoH8147 daughters-in-lawH3618, she leftH3318H4480 the placeH4725 whereH834 she had beenH1961H8033 living and set outH1980 on the roadH1870 leading backH7725 toH413 the landH776 of JudahH3063.

8Then NaomiH5281 saidH559 to her twoH8147 daughters-in-lawH3618, “GoH1980 backH7725, each of youH802 to your mother’sH517 homeH1004. May the LORDH3068 showH6213 youH5973 loving devotionH2617,1 asH834 you have shownH6213 toH5973 your deadH4191 and to meH5973. 9May the LORDH3068 enableH5414 eachH802 of you to findH4672 restH4496 in the homeH1004 of your new husbandH376.”

And she kissedH5401 them as they weptH1058 aloudH5375H6963
