Ruth 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.
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.
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.
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.
5
Then
said
Boaz
unto his
servant
that was
set
over the
reapers,
Whose
damsel
is this?
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:
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.
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:
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
17
So she
gleaned
in the
field
until
even,
and beat
out
that she had
gleaned:
and it was about an
ephah
of
barley.
18
And she took it
up,
and
went
into the
city:
and her mother in
law
saw
what she had
gleaned:
and she brought
forth,
and
gave
to her that she had
reserved
after she was
sufficed.
19
And her mother in
law
said
unto her, Where hast thou
gleaned
to
day?
and
where
wroughtest
thou?
blessed
be he that did take
knowledge
of thee. And she
showed
her mother in
law
with whom she had
wrought,
and
said,
The
man's
name
with whom I
wrought
to
day
is
Boaz.
20
And
Naomi
said
unto her daughter in
law,
Blessed
be he of the
LORD,
who hath not left
off
his
kindness
to the
living
and to the
dead.
And
Naomi
said
unto her, The
man
is near of
kin
unto us, one of our next
kinsmen.
21
And
Ruth
the
Moabitess
said,
He
said
unto me also, Thou shalt keep
fast
by my young
men,
until they have
ended
all my
harvest.
22
And
Naomi
said
unto
Ruth
her daughter in
law,
It is
good,
my
daughter,
that thou go
out
with his
maidens,
that they
meet
thee not in any
other
field.
23
So she kept
fast
by the
maidens
of
Boaz
to
glean
unto the
end
of
barley
harvest
and of
wheat
harvest;
and
dwelt
with her mother in
law.
