Ruth 2:19-20

19Then her mother-in-lawH2545 askedH559 her, “WhereH375 did you gleanH3950 todayH3117, and whereH575 did you workH6213? BlessedH1288 beH1961 the man who noticed youH5234.”

So she toldH5046 her mother-in-lawH2545 whereH834 she had workedH6213. “The nameH8034 of the manH376 I workedH6213 withH5973 todayH3117 is BoazH1162,” she saidH559.

20Then NaomiH5281 saidH559 to her daughter-in-lawH3618, “May heH1931 be blessedH1288 by the LORDH3068, whoH834 has notH3808 withdrawnH5800 His kindnessH2617 fromH854 the livingH2416H854 or the deadH4191.” NaomiH5281 continuedH559, “The manH376 is a close relativeH7138. HeH1931 is one of our kinsman-redeemersH1350.1”
