Ruth 2
2And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.H5281H4129H3045H376H1368H376H2428H4940H458H8034H11622And 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.H7327H4125H559H5281H3212H7704H3950H7641H310H5869H4672H2580H559H3212H13233And 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.H3212H935H3950H7704H310H7114H4745H7136H2513H7704H1162H4940H4584And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.H1162H935H1035H559H7114H3068H559H3068H12885Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?H559H1162H5288H5324H7114H52916And 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:H5288H5324H7114H6030H559H4125H5291H7725H5281H7704H41247And 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.H559H3950H622H310H7114H6016H935H5975H227H1242H3427H4592H10048Then 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:H559H1162H7327H8085H1323H3212H3950H312H7704H5674H1692H52919Let 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.H5869H7704H7114H1980H310H6680H5288H5060H6770H1980H3627H8354H5288H757910Then 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?H5307H6440H7812H776H559H4672H2580H5869H5234H523711And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed 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.H1162H6030H559H5046H5046H6213H2545H310H4194H376H5800H1H517H776H4138H3212H5971H3045H8543H803212The 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.H3068H7999H6467H8003H4909H3068H430H3478H3671H935H262013Then 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.H559H4672H2580H5869H113H5162H1696H3820H8198H259H819814And 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.H1162H559H6256H400H5066H1988H398H3899H2881H6595H2558H3427H6654H7114H6642H7039H398H7646H349815And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:H6965H3950H1162H6680H5288H559H3950H6016H363716And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.H7997H6653H7997H5800H3950H160517So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.H3950H7704H6153H2251H3950H374H818418And 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.H5375H935H5892H2545H7200H3950H3318H5414H3498H764819And 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.H2545H559H3950H3117H375H6213H1288H5234H5046H2545H6213H559H376H8034H6213H3117H116220And 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.H5281H559H3618H1288H3068H5800H2617H2416H4191H5281H559H376H7138H135021And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.H7327H4125H559H559H1692H5288H3615H710522And 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.H5281H559H7327H3618H2896H1323H3318H5291H6293H312H770423So 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.H1692H5291H1162H3950H3615H8184H7105H2406H7105H3427H2545
