Rut 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 1:3

And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died
According to Josephus F24, after he had dwelt in the land ten years, and had married his two sons to Moabitish women; but, as Alshech observes, the text shows that while he was living they were not married to them, but after his death; and it is said of them only that they dwelt there about ten years; so that it is most probable that their father died quickly after he came into the land of Moab: and she was left, and her two sons; in a strange land, she without a husband, and they without a father.

Rut 1:3 In-Context

1 En el tiempo en que los caudillos gobernaban el país, hubo allí una época de hambre. Entonces un hombre de Belén de Judá emigró a la tierra de Moab, junto con su esposa y sus dos hijos.
2 El hombre se llamaba Elimélec, su esposa se llamaba Noemí y sus dos hijos, Majlón y Quilión, todos ellos efrateos, de Belén de Judá. Cuando llegaron a la tierra de Moab, se quedaron a vivir allí.
3 Pero murió Elimélec, esposo de Noemí, y ella se quedó sola con sus dos hijos.
4 Estos se casaron con mujeres moabitas, la una llamada Orfa y la otra Rut. Después de haber vivido allí unos diez años,
5 murieron también Majlón y Quilión, y Noemí se quedó viuda y sin hijos.
