08-1:2 And
the name of the man was Elimelech,
and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons
Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the
country of Moab, and continued there.
08-1:8 And
Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return
each to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt
with the dead, and with me.
08-1:11 And
Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go
with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may
be your husbands?
08-1:19 So
they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were
come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
08-1:20 And
she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty
hath dealt very bitterly with me.
08-1:21 I
went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi,
seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
08-1:22 So
Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in
law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to
Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
08-2:1 And
Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of
wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
