RU-2:1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man
of wealth, of
the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz.
RU-2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to
the field,
and glean ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find
grace. And she
said unto her, Go, my daughter.
RU-2:3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after
the reapers:
and her hap was to light on a part of the field [belonging] unto
Boaz, who
[was] of the kindred of Elimelech.
RU-2:4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the
reapers, The
LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
RU-2:5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the
reapers, Whose
damsel [is] this?
RU-2:6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered
and said, It
[is] the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the
country of
Moab:
RU-2:7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after
the reapers
among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the
morning until
now, that she tarried a little in the house.
RU-2:8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter?
Go not to
glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here
fast by my
maidens:
RU-2:9 [Let] thine eyes [be] on the field that they do reap,
and go thou
after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not
touch thee?
and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of
[that] which the
young men have drawn.
RU-2:10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the
ground, and said
unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou
shouldest take
knowledge of me, seeing I [am] a stranger?
RU-2:11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been
showed me,
all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death
of thine
husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and
the land of
thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not
heretofore.
RU-2:12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be
given thee of the
LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
RU-2:13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord;
for that
thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly
unto thine
handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
RU-2:14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither,
and eat of the
bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the
reapers: and
he reached her parched [corn], and she did eat, and was sufficed,
and left.
RU-2:15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his
young men,
saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her
not:
RU-2:16 And let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for
her, and
leave [them], that she may glean [them], and rebuke her not.
RU-2:17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out
that she had
gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
