The First, Second, and Third Passes
OT
Ruth 1:6-14
esv
mine
Then she arose
Un
with her daughters- in- law
Prep
to return
Inf
from the country
of Moab,
Gen
for she had heard
Conj
in the fields
of Moab
that the Lord had visited his people
and given them food.
So she set out
from the place
where she was
Rel
with her two daughters- in- law,
and they went
on the way
to return
to the land
of Judah.
But Naomi said
to her two daughters- in- law,
“Go,
return each
of you
to her mother’s house.
May the Lord deal kindly
with you,
as you have dealt
with the dead
and with me.
The Lord grant that you may find rest,
each
App
of you
in the house
of her husband!”
Then she kissed them,
and they lifted up their voices
and wept.
And they said
to her,
“No, we will return
with you
to your people.”
But Naomi said,
“Turn back, my daughters;
why will you go
with me?
Have I yet sons
in my womb
that they may become your husbands?
Turn back, my daughters;
go your way,
for I am too old
to have a husband.
If I should say I have hope,
even if I should have a husband this night
and should bear sons,
would you therefore wait
till they were grown?
Would you therefore refrain from marrying?
No, my daughters,
for it is exceedingly bitter
to me
for your sake
that the hand ... has gone out
of the Lord
against me.”
Then they lifted up their voices
and wept again.
And Orpah kissed her mother- in- law,
but Ruth clung
to her.
