Rut Ruth, chapter Book of Ruth, chapter 1
Now it came to pass in the days when the ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in Y’hudah went to sojourn in the country of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], he, and his wife, and his two sons.Jdg 2:16; Jdg 6:4; Jdg 6:6; Deu 2:9
And the name of the man [was] Eli-Melekh [my God is king], and the name of his wife Na’omi [my delight], and the name of his two sons Machlon [sick] and Kilyon [pining], Efratim [ashiness: fruitfulness] from Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in Y’hudah. And they came into the country of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and settled there.Gen 35:19; Jdg 17:7
And Eli-Melekh [my God is king] Na’omi [my delight]’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
And they took them wives of the women of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; the name of the one [was] ‘Orpah [gazelle], and the name of the other Rut [friendship]: and they dwelled there about ten years.Neh 13:23
And Machlon [sick] and Kilyon [pining] died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]: for she had heard in the country of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] how that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had visited his people in giving them bread.2Ki 8:3
For what reason she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
And Na’omi [my delight] said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) deal kindly with you, as you2f have dealt with the dead, and with me.Rut 2:11; Gen 43:14
The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) grant you that you2f may find rest, each [of you] in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.Rut 3:1
And they said unto her, Surely we will return with youi unto youi people.
And Na’omi [my delight] said, Turn again, my daughters: why will you2f go with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Turn again, my daughters, go [your way]; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, [if] I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
Would you2f wait for them till they were grown? would you2f stay for them from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is gone out against me.
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and ‘Orpah [gazelle] kissed her mother in law; but Rut [friendship] clave unto her.
And she said, Behold, youi sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return youi after youi sister in law.
And Rut [friendship] said, Intreat me not to leave youi, [or] to return from following after youi: for to which youi go, I will go; and where youi lodge, I will lodge: youri people [shall be] my people, and youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]:2Sa 15:21; Rut 2:12; Zec 8:21
Where youi die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do so to me, and more also, [if ought] but death part youi and me.1Sa 3:17
When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
So they two went until they came to Beit-Lechem [House of Bread]. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beit-Lechem [House of Bread], that all the city was moved about them, and they said, [Is] this Na’omi [my delight]?
And she said unto them, Call me not Na’omi [my delight], call me Mara: for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.Job 9:18
I went out full, and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has brought me home again empty: why [then] call you2f me Na’omi [my delight], seeing the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has testified against me, and the Almighty (Shaddai) has afflicted me?Gen 32:10
So Na’omi [my delight] returned, and Rut [friendship] the Moavi [from father: what father?], her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]: and they came to Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in the beginning of barley harvest.
