Rut 01:01 ¶ Now it came to pass in the days <03117> when the
judges <08199> (8802) ruled <08199> (8800), that
there was a
famine <07458> in the land <0776>. And a certain man
<0376> of
Bethlehemjudah <01035> <03063> went <03212>
(8799) to sojourn
<01481> (8800) in the country <07704> of Moab <
04124>, he, and
his wife <0802>, and his two <08147> sons <
01121>.
Rut 01:02 And the name <08034> of the man <0376> was
Elimelech
<0458>, and the name <08034> of his wife <0802>
Naomi <05281>,
and the name <08034> of his two <08147> sons <
01121> Mahlon
<04248> and Chilion <03630>, Ephrathites <0673>
of
Bethlehemjudah <01035> <03063>. And they came <
0935> (8799) into
the country <07704> of Moab <04124>, and continued
there.
Rut 01:03 And Elimelech <0458> Naomi’s <05281>
husband <0376>
died <04191> (8799); and she was left <07604> (8735),
and her
two <08147> sons <01121>.
Rut 01:04 And they took <05375> (8799) them wives <
0802> of the
women <0802> of Moab <04125>; the name <08034>
of the one <0259>
was Orpah <06204>, and the name <08034> of the other
<08145>
Ruth <07327>: and they dwelled <03427> (8799) there
about ten
<06235> years <08141>.
Rut 01:05 And Mahlon <04248> and Chilion <03630>
died <04191>
(8799) also both <08147> of them; and the woman <0802>
was left
<07604> (8735) of her two <08147> sons <03206>
and her husband
<0376>.
Rut 01:06 ¶ Then she arose <06965> (8799) with her
daughters in
law <03618>, that she might return <07725> (8799)
from the
country <07704> of Moab <04124>: for she had heard
<08085>
(8804) in the country <07704> of Moab <04124> how
that the LORD
<03068> had visited <06485> (8804) his people <
05971> in giving
<05414> (8800) them bread <03899>.
Rut 01:07 Wherefore she went forth <03318> (8799) out of
the
place <04725> where she was, and her two <08147>
daughters in
law <03618> with her; and they went <03212> (8799) on
the way
<01870> to return <07725> (8800) unto the land <
0776> of Judah
<03063>.
Rut 01:08 And Naomi <05281> said <0559> (8799) unto
her two
<08147> daughters in law <03618>, Go <03212>
(8798), return
<07725> (8798) each <0802> to her mother’s <
0517> house <01004>:
the LORD <03068> deal <06213> (8799) kindly <
02617> with you, as
ye have dealt <06213> (8804) with the dead <04191>
(8801), and
with me.
Rut 01:09 The LORD <03068> grant <05414> (8799) you
that ye may
find <04672> (8798) rest <04496>, each <0802>
of you in the
house <01004> of her husband <0376>. Then she kissed
<05401>
(8799) them; and they lifted up <05375> (8799) their voice
<06963>, and wept <01058> (8799).
Rut 01:10 And they said <0559> (8799) unto her, Surely we
will
return <07725> (8799) with thee unto thy people <
05971>.
Rut 01:11 And Naomi <05281> said <0559> (8799), Turn
again
<07725> (8798), my daughters <01323>: why will ye go
<03212>
(8799) with me? are there yet any more sons <01121> in my
womb
<04578>, that they may be your husbands <0582>?
Rut 01:12 Turn again <07725> (8798), my daughters <
01323>, go
<03212> (8798) your way; for I am too old <02204>
(8804) to have
an husband <0376>. If I should say <0559> (8804), I
have <03426>
hope <08615>, if I should have an husband <0376> also
to night
<03915>, and should also bear <03205> (8804) sons <
01121>;
Rut 01:13 Would ye tarry <07663> (8762) for them <
03860> till
they were grown <01431> (8799)? would ye stay <05702>
(8735) for
them <03860> from having husbands <0376>? nay, my
daughters
<01323>; for it grieveth <04843> (8804) me much <
03966> for your
sakes that the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> is
gone out
<03318> (8804) against me.
Rut 01:14 And they lifted up <05375> (8799) their voice
<06963>,
and wept again <01058> (8799): and Orpah <06204>
kissed <05401>
(8799) her mother in law <02545>; but Ruth <07327>
clave <01692>
(8804) unto her.
Rut 01:15 And she said <0559> (8799), Behold, thy sister
in law
<02994> is gone back <07725> (8804) unto her people
<05971>, and
unto her gods <0430>: return <07725> (8798) thou
after <0310>
thy sister in law <02994>.
Rut 01:16 And Ruth <07327> said <0559> (8799),
Intreat <06293>
(8799) me not to leave <05800> (8800) thee, or to return
<07725>
(8800) from following after <0310> thee: for whither thou
goest
<03212> (8799), I will go <03212> (8799); and where
thou lodgest
<03885> (8799), I will lodge <03885> (8799): thy
people <05971>
shall be my people <05971>, and thy God <0430> my God
<0430>:
Rut 01:17 Where thou diest <04191> (8799), will I die <
04191>
(8799), and there will I be buried <06912> (8735): the LORD
<03068> do <06213> (8799) so to me, and more <
03254> (8686) also,
if ought but death <04194> part <06504> (8686) thee
and me.
Rut 01:18 When she saw <07200> (8799) that she was
stedfastly
minded <0553> (8693) to go <03212> (8800) with her,
then she
left <02308> (8799) speaking <01696> (8763) unto her.
Rut 01:19 ¶ So they two <08147> went <03212> (8799)
until they
came <0935> (8800) to Bethlehem <01035>. And it came
to pass,
when they were come <0935> (8800) to Bethlehem <01035>
, that all
the city <05892> was moved <01949> (8735) about them,
and they
said <0559> (8799), Is this Naomi <05281>?
Rut 01:20 And she said <0559> (8799) unto them, Call <
07121>
(8799) me not Naomi <05281>, call <07121> (8798) me
Mara <04755>:
for the Almighty <07706> hath dealt very <03966>
bitterly
<04843> (8689) with me.
Rut 01:21 I went out <01980> (8804) full <04392>,
and the LORD
<03068> hath brought me home again <07725> (8689)
empty <07387>:
why then call <07121> (8799) ye me Naomi <05281>,
seeing the
LORD <03068> hath testified <06030> (8804) against me,
and the
Almighty <07706> hath afflicted <07489> (8689) me?
Rut 01:22 So Naomi <05281> returned <07725> (8799),
and Ruth
<07327> the Moabitess <04125>, her daughter in law
<03618>, with
her, which returned <07725> (8804) out of the country <
07704> of
Moab <04124>: and they came <0935> (8804) to
Bethlehem <01035>
in the beginning <08462> of barley <08184> harvest
<07105>.
Rut 02:01 ¶ And Naomi <05281> had a kinsman <04129>
(8675)
<03045> (8794) of her husband’s <0376>, a mighty <
01368> man
<0376> of wealth <02428>, of the family <04940>
of Elimelech
<0458>; and his name <08034> was Boaz <01162>.
Rut 02:02 And Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125>
said <0559>
(8799) unto Naomi <05281>, Let me now go <03212>
(8799) to the
field <07704>, and glean <03950> (8762) ears of corn
<07641>
after <0310> him in whose sight <05869> I shall find
<04672>
(8799) grace <02580>. And she said <0559> (8799) unto
her, Go
<03212> (8798), my daughter <01323>.
Rut 02:03 And she went <03212> (8799), and came <
0935> (8799),
and gleaned <03950> (8762) in the field <07704> after
<0310> the
reapers <07114> (8802): and her hap <04745> was to
light <07136>
(8799) on a part <02513> of the field <07704>
belonging unto
Boaz <01162>, who was of the kindred <04940> of
Elimelech <0458>.
Rut 02:04 ¶ And, behold, Boaz <01162> came <0935>
(8802) from
Bethlehem <01035>, and said <0559> (8799) unto the
reapers
<07114> (8802), The LORD <03068> be with you. And
they answered
<0559> (8799) him, The LORD <03068> bless <
01288> (8762) thee.
Rut 02:05 Then said <0559> (8799) Boaz <01162> unto
his servant
<05288> that was set <05324> (8737) over the reapers
<07114>
(8802), Whose damsel <05291> is this?
Rut 02:06 And the servant <05288> that was set <
05324> (8737)
over the reapers <07114> (8802) answered <06030>
(8799) and said
<0559> (8799), It is the Moabitish <04125> damsel <
05291> that
came back <07725> (8804) with Naomi <05281> out of
the country
<07704> of Moab <04124>:
Rut 02:07 And she said <0559> (8799), I pray you, let me
glean
<03950> (8762) and gather <0622> (8804) after <
0310> the reapers
<07114> (8802) among the sheaves <06016>: so she came
<0935>
(8799), and hath continued <05975> (8799) even <0227>
from the
morning <01242> until now, that she tarried <03427>
(8800) a
little <04592> in the house <01004>.
Rut 02:08 Then said <0559> (8799) Boaz <01162> unto
Ruth
<07327>, Hearest <08085> (8804) thou not, my daughter
<01323>?
Go <03212> (8799) not to glean <03950> (8800) in
another <0312>
field <07704>, neither go <05674> (8799) from hence,
but abide
<01692> (8799) here fast by my maidens <05291>:
Rut 02:09 Let thine eyes <05869> be on the field <
07704> that
they do reap <07114> (8799), and go <01980> (8804)
thou after
<0310> them: have I not charged <06680> (8765) the
young men
<05288> that they shall not touch <05060> (8800)
thee? and when
thou art athirst <06770> (8804), go <01980> (8804)
unto the
vessels <03627>, and drink <08354> (8804) of that
which the
young men <05288> have drawn <07579> (8799).
Rut 02:10 Then she fell <05307> (8799) on her face <
06440>, and
bowed <07812> (8691) herself to the ground <0776>,
and said
<0559> (8799) unto him, Why have I found <04672>
(8804) grace
<02580> in thine eyes <05869>, that thou shouldest
take
knowledge <05234> (8687) of me, seeing I am a stranger <
05237>?
Rut 02:11 And Boaz <01162> answered <06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799) unto her, It hath fully <05046> (8715)
been shewed
<05046> (8717) me, all that thou hast done <06213>
(8804) unto
thy mother in law <02545> since <0310> the death <
04194> of
thine husband <0376>: and how thou hast left <05800>
(8799) thy
father <01> and thy mother <0517>, and the land <
0776> of thy
nativity <04138>, and art come <03212> (8799) unto a
people
<05971> which thou knewest <03045> (8804) not
heretofore <08543>
<08032>.
Rut 02:12 The LORD <03068> recompense <07999> (8762)
thy work
<06467>, and a full <08003> reward <04909> be
given thee of the
LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,
under whose wings
<03671> thou art come <0935> (8804) to trust <
02620> (8800).
Rut 02:13 Then she said <0559> (8799), Let me find <
04672>
(8799) favour <02580> in thy sight <05869>, my lord
<0113>; for
that thou hast comforted <05162> (8765) me, and for that
thou
hast spoken <01696> (8765) friendly <03820> unto
thine handmaid
<08198>, though I be not like unto one <0259> of
thine
handmaidens <08198>.
Rut 02:14 And Boaz <01162> said <0559> (8799) unto
her, At
mealtime <06256> <0400> come <05066> (8798)
thou hither <01988>,
and eat <0398> (8804) of the bread <03899>, and dip
<02881>
(8804) thy morsel <06595> in the vinegar <02558>. And
she sat
<03427> (8799) beside <06654> the reapers <
07114> (8802): and he
reached <06642> (8799) her parched <07039> corn, and
she did eat
<0398> (8799), and was sufficed <07646> (8799), and
left <03498>
(8686).
Rut 02:15 And when she was risen up <06965> (8799) to
glean
<03950> (8763), Boaz <01162> commanded <06680>
(8762) his young
men <05288>, saying <0559> (8800), Let her glean <
03950> (8762)
even among the sheaves <06016>, and reproach <03637>
(8686) her
not:
Rut 02:16 And let fall <07997> (8799) also some of the
handfuls
<06653> of purpose <07997> (8800) for her, and leave
<05800>
(8804) them, that she may glean <03950> (8765) them, and
rebuke
<01605> (8799) her not.
Rut 02:17 ¶ So she gleaned <03950> (8762) in the field <
07704>
until even <06153>, and beat out <02251> (8799) that
she had
gleaned <03950> (8765): and it was about an ephah <
0374> of
barley <08184>.
Rut 02:18 And she took it up <05375> (8799), and went <
0935>
(8799) into the city <05892>: and her mother in law <
02545> saw
<07200> (8799) what she had gleaned <03950> (8765):
and she
brought forth <03318> (8686), and gave <05414> (8799)
to her
that she had reserved <03498> (8689) after she was sufficed
<07648>.
Rut 02:19 And her mother in law <02545> said <0559>
(8799) unto
her, Where hast thou gleaned <03950> (8765) to day <
03117>? and
where <0375> wroughtest <06213> (8804) thou? blessed
<01288>
(8803) be he that did take knowledge <05234> (8688) of thee.
And
she shewed <05046> (8686) her mother in law <02545>
with whom
she had wrought <06213> (8804), and said <0559>
(8799), The
man’s <0376> name <08034> with whom I wrought <
06213> (8804) to
day <03117> is Boaz <01162>.
Rut 02:20 And Naomi <05281> said <0559> (8799) unto
her
daughter in law <03618>, Blessed <01288> (8803) be he
of the
LORD <03068>, who hath not left off <05800> (8804)
his kindness
