Naomi’s home was at Bethlehem. But one year, because there was no food there, she went to Moab with her husband and her two sons. Both the sons took wives in Moab. The wives’ names were Orpah and Ruth. After a little time Naomi’s husband died, then both the sons. Naomi started to go back to Bethlehem, and Orpah and Ruth started with her. But Naomi did not think they ought to leave their homes and advised them to stay in Moab. Orpah stayed. But Ruth said to Naomi: “Whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people and thy God, my God.” So Ruth and Naomi came to Bethlehem.
