    1Then Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, 'My daughter, should I not seek a home for you where you will be well taken care of?'

    2Now is not Boaz, our relative, with whose young women you have been working? Tonight, he will be winnowing barley at the threshing floor.

    3Wash, anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but do not let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.

    4When he lies down, take note of the place where he is lying. Then go, uncover his feet, and lie down. He will tell you what to do.

    5And she said to her, 'I will do everything you say.'

    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."

    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."
