Ruth 1:11

11 But Naomi replied, “Go back home, my daughters! There is no reason for you to return to Judah with me. ^{▼▼tn Heb “Why would you want to come with me?” Naomi’s rhetorical question expects a negative answer. The phrase “to Judah” is added in the translation for clarification.} I am no longer capable of giving birth to sons who might become your husbands! ^{▼▼tn Heb “Do I still have sons in my inner parts that they might become your husbands?” Again Naomi’s rhetorical question expects a negative answer.}
