Ruth 1:1-9

1And it came to pass in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruled, that there wasH1961 a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 went from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn in the country of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121.

2And the nameH8034 of the manH376 was ElimelechH458, and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 NaomiH5281, and the nameH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 MahlonH4248 and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-Judah. And they cameH935 into the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continued there.

3And ElimelechH458 Naomi's husbandH376 diedH4191; and she was leftH7604, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121.

4And they tookH5375 them Moabitish wivesH802; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was OrpahH6204, and the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 RuthH7327: and they abode there about tenH6235 yearsH8141.

5And MahlonH4248 and Chilion diedH4191 alsoH1571, both of them; and the womanH802 was leftH7604 of her twoH8147 childrenH3206 and of her husbandH376.

6And she aroseH6965, she and her daughters-in-law, and returnedH7725 from the fieldsH7704 of MoabH4124; for she had heardH8085 in the fieldsH7704 of MoabH4124 how that Jehovah had visitedH6485 his peopleH5971 to giveH5414 them breadH3899.

7Wherefore she wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the placeH4725 whereH834 she had beenH1961, and her twoH8147 daughters-in-law with her; and they wentH3318 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 to the landH776 of JudahH3063.

8And NaomiH5281 saidH559 to her twoH8147 daughters-in-law, GoH7725, returnH7725 each to her mother's houseH1004. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the deadH4191 and with me.

9Jehovah grant you that ye may findH4672 restH4496, each in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376. And she kissedH5401 them; and they liftedH5375 up their voiceH6963 and weptH1058.
