Context of Ruth 1:5
3And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4And they took for themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years. And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left without her two sons and her husband. 6Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them food. 7Therefore she went forth from the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
