BRAGADAYJAH 795
Naomi and Ruth
Now
it happened that in the days of the judges that there was a famine in the
land. And a certain man of
Bethlehem-Judah went to live in the country of Moab, his wife and his two sons
with him. The man’s name was Elimelech and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the
name of his two sons, Mahlon and Chilion. The family being Ephrathites of
Bethlehem-Judah living in Moab. In course of time Naomi’s husband died and she
was left a widow with her two sons. And her two sons married women of Moab, the
name of one wife was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth; and they all
dwelt in the land of Moab for about ten years. And in course of time both sons died leaving
behind their wives, Orpah and Ruth and Naomi was left with her two daughters in
law. And things were hard in the land of
Moab; so Naomi decided to return to her own land because she had heard that the
Lord had blessed the land; so they set out to return to the land of Judah.www.chaberbooks.com
