Tjeckiska

Svenska

SRB26 Mannen hette Elimelek och hans hustru Noomi och hans två söner hette Mahelon och Kiljon, efratiter från Betlehem i Juda. De kom till Moabs land och stannade där.

SKB Mannen hette Elimelech, hans hustru Noomi och hans båda söner Machlon och Kiljon. [Elimelechs namn betyder: ”min Gud är kung”; Noomi ”välbehag/den ljuva”; sönerna ”sjuklig” och ”bräcklig/vekling”.] Familjen var efratiter från Betlehem i Juda. [Efratah var ett område kring Betlehem, se 1 Mos 35:19; 1 Sam 17:12; Mika 5:2.] De kom till Moabs land och stannade där. [Första kapitlet börjar och slutar i den lilla staden Betlehem i Juda. Det är en nästan ironisk poäng att det är hungersnöd i Beit-lechem, på hebreiska ”brödhuset”. Den naturliga orsaken till hungersnöden var troligtvis flera år med torka och uteblivna skördar. Ur ett teologiskt perspektiv fanns också andliga orsaker. Israels folk hade övergett Gud och hängett sig åt avgudar, och en konsekvens av detta var att Guds beskyddande hand lämnade folket, se 3 Mos 26:18-20; 5 Mos 28:23-24. Moab ligger öster om Döda havet, se 1 Mos 19:37; 4 Mos 31:12. Bara någon generation tidigare hade israeliterna varit i strid med Moab, se Dom 3:12. Beslutet att bege sig till Moab, och inte till sina judiska bröder öster om Jordanfloden, kan beskriva det andliga avfallet. Giftermål med moabitiska kvinnor var inte förbjudet, men ingen moabit, eller hans söner till tionde generationen, tilläts upptas i Herrens församling, se 5 Mos 23:3-6. Anledningen var folkets ursprung, incestrelationen mellan Lot och hans äldsta dotter, se 1 Mos 19:33. Vidare var det moabiterna som betalade för att Bileam skulle förbanna Israel, se 4 Mos 22:4-6.]
