4. They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years,
5. both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.
6. When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there.
7. With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah.
8. Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, ‘Go back, each of you, to your mother’s home. May the Lord show you kindness, as you have shown kindness to your dead husbands and to me.
9. May the Lord grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband.’Then she kissed them goodbye and they wept aloud
10. and said to her, ‘We will go back with you to your people.’
