Ruth 1:1-9

1Now it came to pass in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruledH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 of Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035 wentH3212 to sojournH1481 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121.1 2And the nameH8034 of the manH376 was ElimelechH458, and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 NaomiH5281, and the nameH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630, EphrathitesH673 of Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035. And they cameH935 into the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continued there.2 3And ElimelechH458 Naomi’sH5281 husbandH376 diedH4191; and she was leftH7604, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121. 4And they tookH5375 them wivesH802 of the womenH802 of MoabH4125; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was OrpahH6204, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 RuthH7327: and they dwelledH3427 there about tenH6235 yearsH8141. 5And MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630 diedH4191 also bothH8147 of them; and the womanH802 was leftH7604 of her twoH8147 sonsH3206 and her husbandH376.

6Then she aroseH6965 with her daughters in lawH3618, that she might returnH7725 from the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: for she had heardH8085 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124 how that YhwhH3068 had visitedH6485 his peopleH5971 in givingH5414 them breadH3899. 7Wherefore she went forthH3318 out of the placeH4725 where she was, and her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618 with her; and they wentH3212 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 unto the landH776 of JudahH3063. 8And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618, GoH3212, returnH7725 eachH802 to her mother’sH517 houseH1004: YhwhH3068 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with you, as ye have dealtH6213 with the deadH4191, and with me. 9YhwhH3068 grantH5414 you that ye may findH4672 restH4496, eachH802 of you in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376. Then she kissedH5401 them; and they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
