But Naomi said,“ Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands?

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?

But Naomi replied,“ Why should you go on with me? Can I still give birth to other sons who could grow up to be your husbands?

But Naomi replied,“ Return home, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Am I able to have any more sons who could become your husbands?

But Naomi said,“ Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

But Naomi said,“ Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

Suppose two brothers are living near each other. And one of them dies without having a son. Then his widow must not marry anyone outside the family. Her husband’s brother should marry her. That’s what a brother- in- law is supposed to do.

Then Judah spoke to his daughter- in- law Tamar. He said,“ Live as a widow in your father’s home. Wait there until my son Shelah grows up.” Judah was thinking,“ Shelah might die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s home.
