Ruth 1:3-8 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3. But Elimelech, who Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.

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

5. And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them, so the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.

6. Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in Moab how the Lord had visited His people in giving them food.

7. So she left the place where she was, her two daughters-in-law with her, and they started on the way back to Judah.

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