    4And they took wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.

    5And Mahlon and Chilion both died; and the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.

    6Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, to return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

    7Therefore she went out from where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

    8And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
