Where Elimelech appears in Scripture
וְשֵׁם הָאִישׁ אֱֽלִימֶלֶךְ וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ נָֽעֳמִי וְשֵׁם שְׁנֵֽי-בָנָיו׀ מַחְלוֹן וְכִלְיוֹן אֶפְרָתִים מִבֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה וַיָּבֹאוּ שְׂדֵי-מוֹאָב וַיִּֽהְיוּ-שָֽׁם׃
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
וַיָּמָת אֱלִימֶלֶךְ אִישׁ נָֽעֳמִי וַתִּשָּׁאֵר הִיא וּשְׁנֵי בָנֶֽיהָ׃
And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
וּֽלְנָעֳמִי (מידע) מוֹדַע לְאִישָׁהּ אִישׁ גִּבּוֹר חַיִל מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת אֱלִימֶלֶךְ וּשְׁמוֹ בֹּֽעַז׃
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתָּבוֹא וַתְּלַקֵּט בַּשָּׂדֶה אַֽחֲרֵי הַקֹּֽצְרִים וַיִּקֶר מִקְרֶהָ חֶלְקַת הַשָּׂדֶה לְבֹעַז אֲשֶׁר מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת אֱלִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
וַיֹּאמֶר לַגֹּאֵל חֶלְקַת הַשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר לְאָחִינוּ לֶֽאֱלִימֶלֶךְ מָֽכְרָה נָֽעֳמִי הַשָּׁבָה מִשְּׂדֵה מוֹאָֽב׃
And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:
וַיֹּאמֶר בֹּעַז לַזְּקֵנִים וְכָל-הָעָם עֵדִים אַתֶּם הַיּוֹם כִּי קָנִיתִי אֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר לֶֽאֱלִימֶלֶךְ וְאֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר לְכִלְיוֹן וּמַחְלוֹן מִיַּד נָֽעֳמִֽי׃
And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
