    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.'

    9He 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.'

    10He 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.'

    13Stay 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.

    15And he said, 'Bring me the cloak that you are wearing and hold it out.' So she held it out, and he measured out six measures of barley and placed it on her. Then he went into the town.

    16When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, 'How did it go, my daughter?' Then she told her everything the man had done for her.

    17She added, 'He gave me these six measures of barley, saying, “Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.”'

    18Then Naomi said, 'Wait, my daughter, until you find out how things will turn out, for the man will not rest until he has resolved the matter today.'

    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."

    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."

    10She 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?"

    11Boaz 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.
