00:07.080 --> 00:11.200
Now it came to pass in the days when the
judges ruled, that there was a famine in

00:11.200 --> 00:11.600
the land.

00:12.200 --> 00:15.660
And a certain man of Bethlehem Judah went
to sojourn in the country of Moab,

00:15.900 --> 00:17.480
he and his wife and his two sons.

00:18.000 --> 00:21.320
And the name of the man was Elimelech,
and the name of his wife Naomi,

00:21.860 --> 00:26.020
and the name of his two sons Malon and
Kilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah.

00:26.520 --> 00:29.280
And they came into the country of Moab,
and continued there.

00:30.020 --> 00:33.720
And Elimelech Naomi's husband died,
and she was left, and her two sons.

00:34.300 --> 00:36.520
And they took them wives of the women of
Moab.

00:37.000 --> 00:40.760
The name of the one was Orpah,
and the name of the other Ruth.

00:41.200 --> 00:43.100
And they dwelled there about ten years.

00:44.020 --> 00:48.660
And Malon and Kilion died also both of
them, and the woman was left of her two

00:48.660 --> 00:49.700
sons and her husband.

00:50.620 --> 00:54.140
Then she arose with her daughters-in-law,
that she might return from the country of

00:54.140 --> 00:54.540
Moab.

00:55.040 --> 00:58.560
For she had heard in the country of Moab
how that the Lord had visited his people,

00:58.700 --> 00:59.540
and giving them bread.

01:00.260 --> 01:03.480
Wherefore she went forth out of the place
where she was, and her two

01:03.480 --> 01:04.460
daughters-in-law with her.

01:04.760 --> 01:07.360
And they went on the way to return unto
the land of Judah.

01:07.900 --> 01:12.320
And Naomi said unto her two
daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her

01:12.320 --> 01:12.980
mother's house.

01:13.420 --> 01:17.140
The Lord deal kindly with you,
as ye have dealt with the dead,

01:17.360 --> 01:18.080
and with me.

01:18.380 --> 01:23.080
The Lord grant you that ye may find rest,
each of you, in the house of her husband.

01:23.320 --> 01:26.240
Then she kissed them, and they lifted up
their voice, and wept.

01:26.700 --> 01:30.680
And they said unto her, Surely we will
return with thee unto thy people.

01:31.080 --> 01:33.740
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters.

01:34.140 --> 01:35.760
Why will ye go with me?

01:36.320 --> 01:41.180
Are there yet any more sons in my womb,
that they may be your husbands?

01:41.800 --> 01:44.000
Turn again, my daughters, go your way.

01:44.520 --> 01:46.860
For I am too old to have an husband.

01:46.860 --> 01:53.480
If I should say, I have hope, if I should
have an husband also to-night,

01:53.660 --> 01:58.540
and should also bear sons, would ye tarry
for them till they were grown?

01:59.320 --> 02:02.280
Would ye stay for them from having
husbands?

02:03.240 --> 02:08.280
Nay, my daughters, for it grieveth me much
for your sakes that the hand of the Lord

02:08.280 --> 02:10.020
is gone out against me.

02:10.060 --> 02:12.260
And they lifted up their voice,
and wept again.

02:12.700 --> 02:16.520
And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law,
but Ruth clave unto her.

02:17.000 --> 02:22.400
And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is
gone back unto her people, and unto her

02:22.400 --> 02:22.840
gods.

02:23.540 --> 02:26.160
Return thou after thy sister-in-law.

02:26.180 --> 02:30.220
And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave
thee, or to return from following after

02:30.220 --> 02:30.500
thee.

02:30.920 --> 02:35.340
For whither thou goest, I will go,
and where thou lodgest, I will lodge.

02:35.900 --> 02:39.500
Thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God.

02:40.140 --> 02:43.660
Where thou diest will I die, and there
will I be buried.

02:44.020 --> 02:48.940
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
if ought but death part thee and me.

02:49.140 --> 02:52.980
When she saw that she was steadfastly
minded to go with her, then she left,

02:53.120 --> 02:53.860
speaking unto her.

02:54.960 --> 02:57.360
So they too went until they came to
Bethlehem.

02:57.660 --> 03:01.500
And it came to pass, when they were come
to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved

03:01.500 --> 03:02.000
about them.

03:02.320 --> 03:04.120
And they said, Is this Naomi?

03:04.420 --> 03:10.400
And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi,
call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt

03:10.400 --> 03:11.880
very bitterly with me.

03:12.640 --> 03:16.720
I went out full, and the Lord hath brought
me home again empty.

03:17.440 --> 03:22.680
Why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord
hath testified against me, and the

03:22.680 --> 03:24.540
Almighty hath afflicted me?

03:24.680 --> 03:28.580
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess,
her daughter-in-law, with her,

03:28.740 --> 03:30.620
which returned out of the country of Moab.

03:31.020 --> 03:33.940
And they came to Bethlehem in the
beginning of barley harvest.
