rsv Ruth:1:2-7
rsv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elim'elech and the name of his wife Na'omi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chil'ion; they were Eph'rathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.
rsv@Ruth:1:3 @ But Elim'elech, the husband of Na'omi, died, and she was left with her two sons.
rsv@Ruth:1:4 @ These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years;
rsv@Ruth:1:5 @ and both Mahlon and Chil'ion died, so that the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.
rsv@Ruth:1:6 @ Then she started with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had visited his people and given them food.
rsv@Ruth:1:7 @ So she set out from the place where she was, with her two daughters-in-law, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
