5Then said Boaz to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose young lady is this?
6The servant who was set over the reapers answered, It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7She said, Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house.
