Ruth 1:1-10
Skip Heitzig
Ruth 1 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. |
2 | The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion--Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. |
3 | Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. |
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 they dwelt there about ten years. |
5 | Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband. |
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 visited His people by giving 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, "Go, return each to her mother's house. The LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. |
9 | "The LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. |
10 | And they said to her, "Surely we will return with you to your people." |
