1
Now Naomi
had a kinsman
of her husband,
a man
of great
wealth,
of the family
of Elimelech,
whose name
was Boaz.
2
And Ruth
the Moabitess
said
to Naomi,
"Please
let me go
to the field
and glean
among the ears of grain
after
one in whose
sight
I may find
favor."
And she
said
to her, "Go,
my daughter."
3
So she departed
and went
and gleaned
in the field
after
the reapers;
and she happened
to come
to the portion
of the field
belonging to Boaz,
who
was of the family
of Elimelech.
4
Now behold,
Boaz
came
from Bethlehem
and said
to the reapers,
"May the LORD
be with
you."
And they said
to him,
"May the LORD
bless
you."
5
Then Boaz
said
to his servant
who was in charge
of the reapers,
"Whose
young woman
is this?"
6
The servant
in charge
of the reapers
replied,
"She is the young
Moabite
woman
who returned
with Naomi
from the land
of Moab.
7
"And she said,
'Please
let me glean
and gather
after
the reapers
among the sheaves.'
Thus she came
and has remained
from the morning
until
now;
she has been sitting
in the house
for a little while."
8
Then Boaz
said
to Ruth,
"Listen
carefully,
my daughter.
Do not go
to glean
in another
field;
furthermore,
do not go
on from this one,
but stay
here
with my maids.
9
"Let your eyes
be on the field
which
they reap,
and
go
after
them. Indeed,
I have commanded
the servants
not to touch
you. When you are thirsty,
go
to the water
jars
and drink
from what
the servants
draw."
10
Then she fell
on her face,
bowing
to the ground
and said
to him, "Why
have I found
favor
in your sight
that you should take notice
of me, since I am a foreigner?"
11
Boaz
replied
to her, "All
that you have done
for your mother-in-law
after
the death
of your husband
has been fully
reported
to me, and how you left
your father
and your mother
and the land
of your birth,
and came
to a people
that you did not previously
know.
12
"May the LORD
reward
your work,
and your wages
be full
from the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
under
whose
wings
you have come
to seek refuge."
13
Then she said,
"I have found
favor
in your sight,
my lord,
for you have comforted
me and indeed
have spoken
kindly
to your maidservant,
though I am
not like one
of your maidservants."
14
At mealtime
Boaz
said
to her, "Come
here,
that you may eat
of the bread
and dip
your piece of bread
in the vinegar."
So she sat
beside
the reapers;
and he served
her roasted grain,
and she ate
and was satisfied
and had some left.
15
When she rose
to glean,
Boaz
commanded
his servants,
saying,
"Let her glean
even
among
the sheaves,
and do not insult
her.
16
"Also
you shall purposely
pull
out for her some grain from the bundles
and leave
it that she may glean,
and do not rebuke
her."
17
So she gleaned
in the field
until
evening.
Then she beat
out what
she had gleaned,
and it was about an ephah
of barley.
18
She took
it up and went
into the city,
and her mother-in-law
saw
what
she had gleaned.
She also took
it out and gave
Naomi
what
she had left
after
she was satisfied.
19
Her mother-in-law
then said
to her, "Where
did you glean
today
and where
did you work?
May he who took notice
of you be blessed."
So she told
her mother-in-law
with whom
she had worked
and said,
"The name
of the man
with whom
I worked
today
is Boaz."
20
Naomi
said
to her daughter-in-law,
"May he be blessed
of the LORD
who
has not withdrawn
his kindness
to the living
and to the dead."
Again
Naomi
said
to her, "The man
is our relative,
he is one of our closest relatives."
21
Then Ruth
the Moabitess
said,
"Furthermore,
he said
to me, 'You should stay close
to my servants
until
they have finished
all
my harvest.'"
22
Naomi
said
to Ruth
her daughter-in-law,
"It is good,
my daughter,
that you go
out with his maids,
so
that others do not fall
upon you in another
field."
23
So she stayed close
by the maids
of Boaz
in order to glean
until
the end
of the barley
harvest
and the wheat
harvest
.
And she lived
with her mother-in-law.
