    1And Naomi had a relative of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.

    2And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field and glean ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

    3So she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers, and her chance was to happen upon a part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

    4And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless you.

    5Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose young woman is this?

    6And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish young woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab.

    7And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came and has continued even from the morning until now, except she rested a little in the house.

    8Then Boaz said to Ruth, Do you not hear, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field or leave this place, but stay here close to my maidens.

    9Let your eyes be on the field that they do reap, and follow after them. Have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn.

    10Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, seeing I am a stranger?

    11And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shown to me all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people which you did not know before.

    18Then she said, Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out: for the man will not rest until he has finished the thing this day.
