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 Pero muri贸 Elim茅lec, esposo de Noem铆, y ella se qued贸 sola con sus dos hijos.
4 Estos se casaron con mujeres moabitas, la una llamada Orfa y la otra Rut. Despu茅s de haber vivido all铆 unos diez a帽os,
5 murieron tambi茅n Majl贸n y Quili贸n, y Noem铆 se qued贸 viuda y sin hijos.
6 Noem铆 decidi贸 regresar de la tierra de Moab con sus dos nueras, porque all铆 se enter贸 de que el SE脩OR hab铆a acudido en ayuda de su pueblo al proveerle de alimento.
7 Sali贸, pues, con sus dos nueras del lugar donde hab铆a vivido, y juntas emprendieron el camino que las llevar铆a hasta la tierra de Jud谩.
