Ruth 1:1-5 (World English Bible)
View In My Bible
1
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.
2
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.
3
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4
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.
5
Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
