Ruth 2:4-12

4And, behold, BoazH1162 cameH935 from Beth-lehem, and saidH559 unto the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah blessH1288 thee. 5Then saidH559 BoazH1162 unto his servantH5288 that was setH5324 over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? 6And the servantH5288 that was setH5324 over the reapers answered and saidH559, It is the Moabitish damsel that came backH7725 with NaomiH5281 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: 7and she saidH559, Let me gleanH3950, I pray you, and gatherH622 after the reapers among the sheaves. So she cameH935, and hath continued even from the morningH1242 until nowH6258, save that she tarried a littleH4592 in the houseH1004.

8Then saidH559 BoazH1162 unto RuthH7327, Hearest thou not, my daughterH1323? Go not to gleanH3950 in another fieldH7704, neither passH5674 from hence, but abide hereH2088 fast by my maidens. 9Let thine eyesH5869 be on the fieldH7704 that they do reapH7114, and goH1980 thou after them: have I not charged the youngH5288 menH5288 that they shall not touchH5060 thee? and whenH834 thou art athirst, goH1980 unto the vesselsH3627, and drinkH8354 of that which the youngH5288 menH5288 have drawn. 10Then she fellH5307 on her faceH6440, and bowedH7812 herself to the groundH776, and saidH559 unto him, WhyH4069 have I foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreignerH5237? 11And BoazH1162 answered and saidH559 unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the deathH4194 of thy husbandH376; and how thou hast leftH5800 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, and the landH776 of thy nativity, and art come unto a peopleH5971 that thou knewest not heretofore. 12Jehovah recompense thy workH6467, and a fullH8003 rewardH7999 beH1961 given thee of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, under whose wingsH3671 thou art comeH935 to takeH2620 refugeH2620.
