1Now it came about in the days when the judges+ administered justice that a famine+ arose in the land, and a man proceeded to go from Bethʹle·hem+ in Judah to reside as an alien in the fields of Moʹab,+ he with his wife and his two sons.
6 And she proceeded to get up with her daughters-in-law and to return from the fields of Moʹab, for she had heard in the field of Moʹab that Jehovah had turned his attention to* his people+ by giving them bread.+
