Excerpt
Book 08. Ruth 001:001. It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 001:002 The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there. 001:003 Elimelech, Naomi?s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. 001:004 They took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years. 001:005 Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband. 001:006 Then 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 Yahweh had visited his people in giving them bread. 001:007 She went forth out of 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. 001:008 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother?s house: Yahweh deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me. 001:009 Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
