1IN THE days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, his wife, and his two sons.

2The man’s name was Elimelech and his wife’s name was Naomi and his two sons were named Mahlon [invalid] and Chilion [pining]; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem of Judah. They went to the country of Moab and continued there.

3But Elimelech, who Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.

4And they took wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They dwelt there about ten years;

5And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them, so the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.

6Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in Moab how the Lord had visited His people in giving them food.

7So she left the place where she was, her two daughters-in-law with her, and they started on the way back to Judah.

(Ruth 1:1-7 AMP)
