08:002:016 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and
leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
08:002:017 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she
had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
08:002:018 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.
08:002:019 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 shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
08:002:020 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.
08:002:021 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.
08:002:022 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.
08:002:023 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.
08:003:001 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall
I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
08:003:002 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
