2:1 | And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband' a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz. |
2:2 | And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of ![]() |
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. |
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. |
2:5 | Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel [is] this? |
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: |
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 ![]() |
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: |
2:9 | [Let] thine eyes [be] on the field that they ![]() ![]() ![]() |
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? |
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 ![]() ![]() |
2:12 | The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of ![]() ![]() ![]() |
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. |
2:14 | And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the ![]() ![]() |
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: |
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. |
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. |
2:18 | 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. |
2:19 | And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to ![]() ![]() |
2:20 | 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. |
2:21 | 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. |
2:22 | 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. |
2:23 | So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of ![]() |
