1 Now it came to pass, in the days when athe judges ruled, that there was ba famine in the land. And a certain man of cBethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of dMoab, he and his wife and his two sons.
2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—aEphrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went bto the country of Moab and remained there.
3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they1 dwelt there about ten years.
5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.

6 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 that the Lord had avisited His people by bgiving them bread.
