    1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side, a prominent and wealthy man of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.

    2 Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and gather leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor." Naomi said to her, "Go ahead, my daughter."

    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."

    8 So Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not leave this one. Stay close to my young women.

    9 Keep your eyes on the field they are harvesting and follow after them. I have ordered the young men not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled."

    10 She bowed down with her face to the ground and said to him, "Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?"

    11 Boaz replied, "It has been fully reported to me all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your native land and came to a people you did not know before.

    12 May the LORD reward you for what you have done. May you receive a full reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.

    9 He asked, 'Who are you?' She answered, 'I am Ruth, your servant. Spread the corner of your garment over your servant, for you are a guardian-redeemer.'

    10 He said, 'May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown great kindness now, even greater than before, by not pursuing younger men, whether rich or poor.'

    11 And now, my daughter, do not be afraid. I will do for you everything you ask, for everyone in town knows that you are a woman of noble character.

    12 Now, it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer, but there is another redeemer who is more closely related than I am.

    13 Stay here for the night. In the morning, if he wishes to redeem you, good—let him redeem you. But if he is not willing, as surely as the LORD lives, I will redeem you. Lie down here until morning.

    14 So she lay at his feet until morning but got up before anyone could recognize another. For he said, 'Let it not be known that a woman came to the threshing floor.'

    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."
