the days when the Judges sat in judgment, a famine was in the land. A certain man went forth from Bethlehem of Judah and traveled to sojourn a while in the land of Moab, his wife and two sons going with him. The man's name was Elimelekh, his wife's name Naomi, and the names of his two sons Maḥlon and Kilyon, Efratites all, from Bethlehem of Judah. They came in due course to the land of Moab, and remained there. But then Elimelekh, husband of Naomi, died, and she was left there with her two sons. Both took Moabite wives - the first named Orpah, the second named Ruth - and they dwelt there some ten years. Thereafter the two of them - Maḥlon and Kilyon - died also, and the woman was left bereft of both her children and of her husband. Then she arose, her daughters-in-law with her, to go back from the land of Moab; for she had heard in the land of Moab that the LORD had remembered His people, and given them bread. So she departed from the place where she had stayed, both daughters-in-law with her, and set out returning to the land of Judah. But she said to her two daughters-in-law, \"Go now, please, return, each to your own mother's house, and may the LORD render you the same kindness you have shown the dead, and me. May the LORD grant you to find your resting place, each in the home of her husband -\" and she kissed them, and they wept aloud. And they said to her, \"No. We will go back with you to your people.\" Naomi said, \"Return, daughters, why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb who might be husbands to you? Return, my daughters, go; I am too old to have a husband. Even were I to say, 'there is hope for me still'; were I even this night to take a husband, even could I bear sons again - would you wait for them until they grew? Would you bind yourselves to them, never to belong to another man? No, daughters, your being here is most bitter to me now, for the hand of the LORD has struck me.\" They wept aloud yet more, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law - but Ruth held fast to her. And Naomi said, \"Your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Return after your sister-in-law.\" But Ruth answered, \"Do not urge me to leave you, to turn away and not follow after you. In every place you walk, I shall walk; in every place you lie down, there I shall lie. Your people is my people; your God is my God. Where you die, I shall die, and there I shall be buried. May the LORD show me all this, and more, for death alone will part me from you.\"" } ], "footer": [] } }, "links": [ { "rel": "parent", "title": "Koren Shalem Siddur", "href": "/siddur/koren-shalem.json" }, { "rel": "prev", "title": "Song of Songs", "href": "/siddur/koren-shalem/1406-1407-1234-1235-megillot-song-of-songs.json" }, { "rel": "next", "title": "Ruth", "href": "/siddur/koren-shalem/1410-1411-1238-1239-megillot-ruth.json" } ] }
