Ruth 1:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
4 Then Naomi's sons married women from Moab. Mahlon married a woman called Ruth. Kilion married a woman called Orpah. 5 After they had all lived in Moab for about ten years, both Mahlon and Kilion died. Now Naomi was completely alone, without her husband or her sons.[a]
6 Naomi received news from Judah that the Lord had helped his people.[b] There was now enough food in Judah again. So Naomi decided to leave Moab and return to Judah with Ruth and Orpah.

- 1:5 When the women had no husbands, they could no longer work on their land. They needed help from the men in their families.
- 1:6 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
