Ruth 1:5 in Context — Ruth 1

3 Y murió Elimelech, marido de Noemi, y quedó ella con sus dos hijos;

4 Los cuales tomaron para sí mujeres de Moab, el nombre de la una Orpha, y el nombre de la otra Ruth; y habitaron allí unos diez años.

5 Y murieron también los dos, Mahalón y Chelión, quedando así la mujer [desamparada] de sus dos hijos y de su marido.

6 Entonces se levantó con sus nueras, y volvióse de los campos de Moab: porque oyó en el campo de Moab que Jehová había visitado á su pueblo para darles pan.

7 Salió pues del lugar donde había estado, y con ella sus dos nueras, y comenzaron á caminar para volverse á la tierra de Judá.
