Anaphora in Ruth 1:1-5 (indicated by "
"
before the word)
1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine
in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the
country of Moab, he
and his
wife and two sons.
2 The name of the
man was Elimelech and the name of his
wife Naomi, and the names of his
two sons were Mahlon and Chilion; they
were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They
went into the country of Moab and they
remained there.
3 But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she
was left with her
two sons. 4 These
took Moabite wives; the name of the one
was Orpah and the name of the other
Ruth. When they
had lived there
about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Chilion also died, so that the
woman was left without her
two sons and her
husband.
