1 Du temps des juges, il y eut une famine dans le pays. Un homme de Bethléhem de Juda partit, avec sa femme et ses deux fils, pour faire un séjour dans le pays de Moab.
2 Le nom de cet homme était Élimélec, celui de sa femme Naomi, et ses deux fils s’appelaient Machlon et Kiljon; ils étaient Éphratiens, de Bethléhem de Juda. Arrivés au pays de Moab, ils y fixèrent leur demeure.
3 Élimélec, mari de Naomi, mourut, et elle resta avec ses deux fils.
