Rut 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 1:5

And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them
As well as their father, in the land of Moab, after they had lived with their wives in it about ten years; the Targum is,

``because they transgressed the decree of the Word of the Lord, and joined in affinity with strange people, their days were cut off;''

or shortened:

and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband;
deprived both of her husband and her sons, which was a great affliction, aggravated by her being in a strange country; many are the afflictions of the righteous.

Rut 1:5 In-Context

3 Y muri贸 Elimelec, marido de Noem铆, y qued贸 ella con sus dos hijos.
4 Y ellos se casaron con mujeres moabitas; el nombre de una era Orfa y el nombre de la otra Rut. Y habitaron all铆 unos diez a帽os.
5 Murieron tambi茅n los dos, Mahl贸n y Queli贸n, y la mujer qued贸 privada de sus dos hijos y de su marido.
6 Entonces se levant贸 con sus nueras para regresar de la tierra de Moab, porque ella hab铆a o铆do en la tierra de Moab que el SE脩OR hab铆a visitado a su pueblo d谩ndole alimento.
7 Sali贸, pues, del lugar donde estaba, y sus dos nueras con ella, y se pusieron en camino para volver a la tierra de Jud谩.
