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.
Naomi Returns with Ruth
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.
7 Therefore she went out 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.
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, a“Go, return each to her mother’s house. bThe Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt cwith the dead and with me.
9 The Lord grant that you may find arest, each in the house of her husband.” So she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.
