6Ruth Visits Boaz So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.
7When Boaz had finished his meal and was feeling satisfied, he lay down to sleep at the far end of the grain heap. Then Ruth crept up quietly, uncovered his legs, and lay down beside him.
13Remain here tonight. Then in the morning, if he agrees to marry you, fine, let him do so. But if he does not want to do so, I promise, as surely as the LORD lives, to marry you. Sleep here until morning.”
14So she slept beside him until morning. She woke up while it was still dark. Boaz thought,“No one must know that a woman visited the threshing floor.”
15Then he said,“Hold out the shawl you are wearing and grip it tightly.” As she held it tightly, he measured out about sixty pounds of barley into the shawl and put it on her shoulders. Then he went into town,
16and she returned to her mother-in-law. Ruth Returns to NaomiWhen Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked,“How did things turn out for you, my daughter?” Ruth told her about all the man had done for her.
17She said,“He gave me these sixty pounds of barley, for he said to me,‘Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
18Then Naomi said,“Stay put, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out. For the man will not rest until he has taken care of the matter today.”
3So bathe yourself, rub on some perfumed oil, and get dressed up. Then go down to the threshing floor. But don’t let the man know you’re there until he finishes his meal.
4When he gets ready to go to sleep, take careful notice of the place where he lies down. Then go, uncover his legs, and lie down beside him. He will tell you what you should do.”
10Ruth knelt before him with her forehead to the ground and said to him,“Why are you so kind and so attentive to me, even though I am a foreigner?”
11Boaz replied to her,“I have been given a full report of all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband– how you left your father and your mother, as well as your homeland, and came to live among people you did not know previously.
15So Naomi said,“Look, your sister-in-law is returning to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law back home!”
16But Ruth replied,“Stop urging me to abandon you! For wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your people will become my people, and your God will become my God.
17Wherever you die, I will die– and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me severely if I do not keep my promise! Only death will be able to separate me from you!”
18When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to dissuade her.
1Naomi Instructs Ruth At that time, Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her,“My daughter, I must find a home for you so you will be secure.
17So she gathered grain in the field until evening. When she threshed what she had gathered, it came to about thirty pounds of barley!
18Ruth Returns to Naomi She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much grain she had gathered. Then Ruth gave her the roasted grain she had saved from mealtime.
19Her mother-in-law asked her,“Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? May the one who took notice of you be rewarded!” So Ruth told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said,“The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
9He said,“Who are you?” She replied,“I am Ruth, your servant. Marry your servant, for you are a guardian of the family interests.”
10He said,“May you be rewarded by the LORD, my dear! This act of devotion is greater than what you did before. For you have not sought to marry one of the young men, whether rich or poor.
11Now, my dear, don’t worry! I intend to do for you everything you propose, for everyone in the village knows that you are a worthy woman.
5His mother told the servants,“Whatever he tells you, do it.”
6So she decided to return home from the region of Moab, accompanied by her daughters-in-law, because while she was living in Moab she had heard that the LORD had shown concern for his people, reversing the famine by providing abundant crops.
7Ruth Returns with Naomi Now as she and her two daughters-in-law began to leave the place where she had been living to return to the land of Judah,
8Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,“Listen to me! Each of you should return to your mother’s home! May the LORD show you the same kind of devotion that you have shown to your deceased husbands and to me!
9May the LORD enable each of you to find security in the home of a new husband!” Then she kissed them goodbye and they wept loudly.
10But they said to her,“No! We will return with you to your people.”
21Ruth the Moabite replied,“He even told me,‘You may go along beside my servants until they have finished gathering all my harvest!’”
21She said,“I agree to these conditions.” She sent them on their way and then tied the red rope in the window.
23So Ruth worked beside Boaz’s female servants, gathering grain until the end of the barley harvest as well as the wheat harvest. After that she stayed home with her mother-in-law.
6The servant in charge of the harvesters replied,“She’s the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the region of Moab.
7She asked,‘May I follow the harvesters and gather grain among the bundles?’ Since she arrived she has been working hard from this morning until now– except for sitting in the resting hut a short time.”
8So Boaz said to Ruth,“Listen carefully, my dear! Do not leave to gather grain in another field. You need not go beyond the limits of this field. You may go along beside my female workers.
2One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi,“Let me go to the fields so I can gather grain behind whoever permits me to do so.” Naomi replied,“You may go, my daughter.”
13She said,“You really are being kind to me, sir, for you have reassured and encouraged me, your servant, even though I will never be like one of your servants!”
18“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.
58So they called Rebekah and asked her,“Do you want to go with this man?” She replied,“I want to go.”
16He turned aside to her along the road and said,“Come, please, I want to sleep with you.”(He did not realize it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked,“What will you give me so that you may sleep with me?”
17He replied,“I’ll send you a young goat from the flock.” She asked,“Will you give me a pledge until you send it?”
5The servant asked him,“What if the woman is not willing to come back with me to this land? Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
41She arose, bowed her face toward the ground, and said,“Your female servant, like a lowly servant, will wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
26She said,“My lord. Just as surely as you are alive, my lord, I am the woman who previously stood here with you in order to pray to the LORD.
36She said to him,“My father, since you made an oath to the LORD, do to me as you promised. After all, the LORD vindicated you before your enemies, the Ammonites.”
3Then I told her,“You must live with me many days; you must not commit adultery or become joined to another man, and I also will wait for you.”
38but you must go to the family of my father and to my relatives to find a wife for my son.’
39But I said to my master,‘What if the woman does not want to go with me?’
13surely you would not want to wait until they were old enough to marry! Surely you would not remain unmarried all that time! No, my daughters, you must not return with me. For my intense suffering is too much for you to bear. For the LORD is afflicting me!”
