Ruth 1:1-5

Elimelech's Family Migrates to Moab

Ruth 1:1-5
1
And it cometh to pass, in the days of the judging of the judges, that there is a famine in the land, and there goeth a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2
And the name of the man is Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
3
And Elimelech husband of Naomi dieth, and she is left, she and her two sons;
4
and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the one is Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell there about ten years.
5
And they die also, both of them--Mahlon and Chilion--and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
