Ruth 1:4 in Context — Ruth 1
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.
4 Ils prirent des femmes Moabites, dont l’une se nommait Orpa, et l’autre Ruth, et ils habitèrent là environ dix ans.
5 Machlon et Kiljon moururent aussi tous les deux, et Naomi resta privée de ses deux fils et de son mari.
6 Puis elle se leva, elle et ses belles-filles, afin de quitter le pays de Moab, car elle apprit au pays de Moab que l’Éternel avait visité son peuple et lui avait donné du pain.
