1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 judgedH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certainH376 manH376 of Beth-lehem-judah wentH376 to sojourn in the countryH776 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 ChilionH3630, EphrathitesH673 of Beth-lehem-judah. And they cameH935 intoH935 the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continuedH1961 there.
