    1Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?

    2And now, is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.

    3Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself, and put your clothes upon you, and get down to the floor: but do not make yourself known to the man, until he has finished eating and drinking.

    4And it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you shall do.

    5And she said to her, All that you say to me I will do.

    6And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law instructed her.

    7And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and lay down.

    9And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.

    10And he said, Blessed are you of the LORD, my daughter: for you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you followed not young men, whether poor or rich.

    11And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to you all that you ask: for all the city of my people knows that you are a virtuous woman.

    12And now it is true that I am your near kinsman: however there is a kinsman nearer than I.

    13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform the duty of a kinsman to you, good; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, then I will do the part of a kinsman to you, as the LORD lives: lie down until the morning.

    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.

    20And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not forsaken his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, This man is a relative of ours, one of our nearest kinsmen.

    21And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.

    22And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, that they may not meet you in any other field.

    15And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
