    4 They took them 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.

    5 Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.

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

    7 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 to the land of Judah.

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

    9 Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

    10 They said to her, No, but we will return with you to your people.

    11 Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will you go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

    14 They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth joined with her.

    15 She said, Behold, your sister-in-law is gone back to her people, and to her god: return you after your sister-in-law.
