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

    2Ruth 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."

    3So 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.

    4Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "The LORD be with you!" They responded, "The LORD bless you!"

    5Boaz asked the servant who was in charge of the harvesters, "Whose young woman is this?"

    6The 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."

    8So 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.

    9Keep 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."

    13She said, "May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord, because you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant—even though I am not one of your servants."

    14At mealtime, Boaz said to her, "Come here and eat some bread and dip your morsel in the vinegar." So she sat beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain. She ate, was satisfied, and had some leftover.

    15When she got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

    16Rather, pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her."

    17So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah of barley.

    18She 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.

    19Her 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."

    20Naomi 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."

    21Then Ruth the Moabite said, "He even told me, 'Stay close to my harvesters until they have finished all my harvest.'"

    4These sons married Moabite women. One was named Orpah, and the other was named Ruth. They lived there about ten years.

    5Then both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

    6Naomi arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the fields of Moab because she had heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food.

    7She left the place where she had been living, along with her two daughters-in-law, and they began to travel on the road back to the land of Judah.

    8But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back, each of you, to your mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

    9May the LORD grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband." She kissed them goodbye, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

    10They said to her, "We will go back with you to your people."

    11But Naomi replied, "Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Do I still have sons in my womb who could become your husbands?

    12Return home, my daughters. I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me—even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons—

    13would you wait until they grew up? Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters, it is more bitter for me than for you because the LORD’s hand has turned against me."

    14They lifted up their voices and wept again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.

    15Naomi said, "Look, your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Return with her."

    16But Ruth replied, "Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

    17Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.

    18When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to persuade her.

    19So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women exclaimed, "Can this be Naomi?"
