Rut 1,2

ChilionElimelechMahlonMoabNaomiMoab

1 I de dager da dommerne styrte, var det hungersnød i landet. En mann fra Betlehem i Juda dro for å bo i landet Moab med sin kone og to sønner.

Mannens navn var Elimelek, hans kone var Noomi, og navnene på hans to sønner var Mahlon og Kiljon. De var Efratitter fra Betlehem, Juda. De kom til Moab og bodde der.

3 Elimelek, Noomis mann, døde, og hun satt igjen med sine to sønner.

4 De tok moabittiske kvinner til koner; den ene het Orpa og den andre Rut. De bodde der i omtrent ti år.
