Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091 it came to pass, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 askedH7592 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall go upH5927 for us against the CanaanitesH3669 firstH8462, to fightH3898 against them?
And they encampedH2583 against them, and destroyedH7843 the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, till thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 no sustenanceH4241 for IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor assH2543. {sheep: or goat}
Now it came to pass in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruledH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 wentH3212 to sojournH1481 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121. {ruled: Heb. judged}
And ObedH5744 begatH3205 JesseH3448, and JesseH3448 begatH3205 DavidH1732.
AndG1161 SalmonG4533 begatG1080 BoozG1003 ofG1537 RachabG4477; andG1161 BoozG1003 begatG1080 ObedG5601 ofG1537 RuthG4503; andG1161 ObedG5601 begatG1080 JesseG2421;
Now it came to pass in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruledH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 wentH3212 to sojournH1481 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121. {ruled: Heb. judged}
And the nameH8034 of the manH376 was ElimelechH458, and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 NaomiH5281, and the nameH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630, EphrathitesH673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063. And they cameH935 into the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continued there. {continued: Heb. were}
And ElimelechH458 Naomi'sH5281 husbandH376 diedH4191; and she was leftH7604, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121.
And they tookH5375 them wivesH802 of the womenH802 of MoabH4125; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was OrpahH6204, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 RuthH7327: and they dwelledH3427 there about tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630 diedH4191 also bothH8147 of them; and the womanH802 was leftH7604 of her twoH8147 sonsH3206 and her husbandH376.
Then she aroseH6965 with her daughters in lawH3618, that she might returnH7725 from the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: for she had heardH8085 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124 how that the LORDH3068 had visitedH6485 his peopleH5971 in givingH5414 them breadH3899.
Wherefore she went forthH3318 out of the placeH4725 where she was, and her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618 with her; and they wentH3212 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 unto the landH776 of JudahH3063.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618, GoH3212, returnH7725 eachH802 to her mother'sH517 houseH1004: the LORDH3068 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with you, as ye have dealtH6213 with the deadH4191, and with me.
The LORDH3068 grantH5414 you that ye may findH4672 restH4496, eachH802 of you in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376. Then she kissedH5401 them; and they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And they saidH559 unto her, Surely we will returnH7725 with thee unto thy peopleH5971.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559, Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323: why will ye goH3212 with me? are there yet any more sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that they may be your husbandsH582?
Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323, goH3212 your way; for I am too oldH2204 to have an husbandH376. If I should sayH559, I haveH3426 hopeH8615, if I should have an husbandH376 also to nightH3915, and should also bearH3205 sonsH1121; {should have…: or were with an husband}
Would ye tarryH7663 for themH3860 till they were grownH1431? would ye stayH5702 for themH3860 from having husbandsH376? nay, my daughtersH1323; for it grievethH4843 me muchH3966 for your sakes that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 is gone outH3318 against me. {tarry: Heb. hope} {it grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness}
And they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and wept againH1058: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother in lawH2545; but RuthH7327 claveH1692 unto her.
And she saidH559, Behold, thy sister in lawH2994 is gone backH7725 unto her peopleH5971, and unto her godsH430: returnH7725 thou afterH310 thy sister in lawH2994.
And RuthH7327 saidH559, IntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, or to returnH7725 from following afterH310 thee: for whither thou goestH3212, I will goH3212; and where thou lodgestH3885, I will lodgeH3885: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430: {Intreat…: or, Be not against me}
Where thou diestH4191, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so to me, and moreH3254 also, if ought but deathH4194 partH6504 thee and me.
When she sawH7200 that she was stedfastly mindedH553 to goH3212 with her, then she leftH2308 speakingH1696 unto her. {was…: Heb. strengthened herself}
So they twoH8147 wentH3212 until they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And it came to pass, when they were comeH935 to BethlehemH1035, that all the cityH5892 was movedH1949 about them, and they saidH559, Is this NaomiH5281?
And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
I went outH1980 fullH4392, and the LORDH3068 hath brought me home againH7725 emptyH7387: why then callH7121 ye me NaomiH5281, seeing the LORDH3068 hath testifiedH6030 against me, and the AlmightyH7706 hath afflictedH7489 me?
So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, her daughter in lawH3618, with her, which returnedH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: and they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035 in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
Then wentH5927 BoazH1162 upH5927 to the gateH8179, and sat him downH3427 there: and, behold, the kinsmanH1350 of whom BoazH1162 spakeH1696 cameH5674 by; unto whom he saidH559, HoH1945, suchH6423 a oneH492! turn asideH5493, sit downH3427 here. And he turned asideH5493, and sat downH3427.
And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and saidH559, Sit ye downH3427 here. And they sat downH3427.
And he saidH559 unto the kinsmanH1350, NaomiH5281, that is come againH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, sellethH4376 a parcelH2513 of landH7704, which was our brotherH251 Elimelech'sH458:
And I thoughtH559 to advertiseH1540+H241 thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 it before the inhabitantsH3427, and before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. If thou wilt redeemH1350 it, redeemH1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeemH1350 it, then tellH5046 me, that I may knowH3045: for there is none to redeemH1350 it besideH2108 thee; and I am afterH310 thee. And he saidH559, I will redeemH1350 it. {I thought…: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear}
Then saidH559 BoazH1162, What dayH3117 thou buyestH7069 the fieldH7704 of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281, thou must buyH7069 it also of RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159.
And the kinsmanH1350 saidH559, I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it for myself, lest I marH7843 mine own inheritanceH5159: redeemH1350 thou my rightH1353 to thyself; for I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it.
Now this was the manner in former timeH6440 in IsraelH3478 concerning redeemingH1353 and concerning changingH8545, for to confirmH6965 all thingsH1697; a manH376 plucked offH8025 his shoeH5275, and gaveH5414 it to his neighbourH7453: and this was a testimonyH8584 in IsraelH3478.
Therefore the kinsmanH1350 saidH559 unto BoazH1162, BuyH7069 it for thee. So he drew offH8025 his shoeH5275.
And BoazH1162 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205, and unto all the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117, that I have boughtH7069 all that was Elimelech'sH458, and all that was Chilion'sH3630 and Mahlon'sH4248, of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281.
Moreover RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of MahlonH4248, have I purchasedH7069 to be my wifeH802, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159, that the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 be not cut offH3772 from amongH5973 his brethrenH251, and from the gateH8179 of his placeH4725: ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117.
And all the peopleH5971 that were in the gateH8179, and the eldersH2205, saidH559, We are witnessesH5707. The LORDH3068 makeH5414 the womanH802 that is comeH935 into thine houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like LeahH3812, which twoH8147 did buildH1129 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: and doH6213 thou worthilyH2428 in EphratahH672, and be famousH7121+H8034 in BethlehemH1035: {do thou…: or, get thee riches, or, power} {be famous: Heb. proclaim thy name}
And let thy houseH1004 be like the houseH1004 of PharezH6557, whom TamarH8559 bareH3205 unto JudahH3063, of the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee of this young womanH5291.
So BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she was his wifeH802: and when he went inH935 unto her, the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 her conceptionH2032, and she bareH3205 a sonH1121.
And the womenH802 saidH559 unto NaomiH5281, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, which hath not leftH7673 thee this dayH3117 without a kinsmanH1350, that his nameH8034 may be famousH7121 in IsraelH3478. {left…: Heb. caused to cease unto thee} {kinsman: or, redeemer}
And he shall be unto thee a restorerH7725 of thy lifeH5315, and a nourisherH3557 of thine old ageH7872: for thy daughter in lawH3618, which lovethH157 thee, which is betterH2896 to thee than sevenH7651 sonsH1121, hath bornH3205 him. {a nourisher of: Heb. to nourish} {thine…: Heb. thy gray hairs}
And NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the childH3206, and laidH7896 it in her bosomH2436, and became nurseH539 unto it.
And the women her neighboursH7934 gaveH7121 it a nameH8034, sayingH559, There is a sonH1121 bornH3205 to NaomiH5281; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 ObedH5744: he is the fatherH1 of JesseH3448, the fatherH1 of DavidH1732.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of PharezH6557: PharezH6557 begatH3205 HezronH2696,
And HezronH2696 begatH3205 RamH7410, and RamH7410 begatH3205 AmminadabH5992,
And AmminadabH5992 begatH3205 NahshonH5177, and NahshonH5177 begatH3205 SalmonH8009, {Salmon: or, Salmah}
And SalmonH8012 begatH3205 BoazH1162, and BoazH1162 begatH3205 ObedH5744,
And ObedH5744 begatH3205 JesseH3448, and JesseH3448 begatH3205 DavidH1732.
And now it is trueH551 that I am thy near kinsmanH1350: howbeit there isH3426 a kinsmanH1350 nearerH7138 than I.
And the kinsmanH1350 saidH559, I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it for myself, lest I marH7843 mine own inheritanceH5159: redeemH1350 thou my rightH1353 to thyself; for I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it.
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG5127 is preachedG2605 unto youG5213 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
ForG1063 DemasG1214 hath forsakenG1459 meG3165, having lovedG25 this presentG3568 worldG165, andG2532 is departedG4198 untoG1519 ThessalonicaG2332; CrescensG2913 toG1519 GalatiaG1053, TitusG5103 untoG1519 DalmatiaG1149.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, There isG2076 no manG3762 thatG3739 hath leftG863 houseG3614, orG2228 brethrenG80, orG2228 sistersG79, orG2228 fatherG3962, orG2228 motherG3384, orG2228 wifeG1135, orG2228 childrenG5043, orG2228 landsG68, for myG1700 sakeG1752, andG2532 the gospel'sG2098,
ButG3362 he shall receiveG2983 an hundredfoldG1542 nowG3568 inG1722 thisG5129 timeG2540, housesG3614, andG2532 brethrenG80, andG2532 sistersG79, andG2532 mothersG3384, andG2532 childrenG5043, andG2532 landsG68, withG3326 persecutionsG1375; andG2532 inG1722 the worldG165 to comeG2064 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
YeaG235 doubtlessG3304, andG2532 I countG2233 all thingsG3956 but lossG2209 forG1511+G1223 the excellencyG5242 of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG3450 LordG2962: forG1223 whomG3739 I have suffered the lossG2210 of all thingsG3956, andG2532 do countG2233 themG1511 but dungG4657, thatG2443 I may winG2770 ChristG5547,
ForG3754 inG1722 himG846 dwellethG2730 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of the GodheadG2320 bodilyG4985.
AndG2532 ye areG2075 completeG4137 inG1722 himG846, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776 of allG3956 principalityG746 andG2532 powerG1849:
