  • Ruth 2:3-7 : 3 So she went out, entered a field, and began to glean behind the harvesters. By chance, she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the family of Elimelech. 4 Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "The LORD be with you!" They responded, "The LORD bless you!" 5 Boaz asked the servant who was in charge of the harvesters, "Whose young woman is this?" 6 The servant replied, "She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab. 7 "She asked, 'Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.' She came and has been working steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter."

Do not rebuke her." 17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah of barley. 18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gleaned. Ruth also brought out and gave Naomi what she had leftover after she had eaten her fill. 19 Her mother-in-law asked her, "Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you." Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose field she had worked. She said, "The man's name I worked with today is Boaz." 20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead." She added, "That man is a close relative of ours; he is one of our kinsman-redeemers." 21 Then Ruth the Moabite said, "He even told me, 'Stay close to my harvesters 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 young women, so that you may not be harmed in another field." 23 So Ruth stayed close to the young women of Boaz to glean until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
