Ruth 2:4-12

4Just thenH2009 BoazH1162 arrivedH935 fromH1035 BethlehemH1035 and saidH559 to the harvestersH7114, “The LORDH3068 be with youH5973.”

“The LORDH3068 bless youH1288,” they repliedH559.

5And BoazH1162 askedH559 the foremanH5288H5324 ofH5921 his harvestersH7114, “WhoseH4310 young womanH5291 is thisH2063?”

6The foremanH5288H5324H5921H7114H559 answeredH6030, “SheH1931 is the MoabitessH4125H5291 who returnedH7725 withH5973 NaomiH5281 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124. 7She has saidH559, ‘PleaseH4994 let me gleanH3950 and gatherH622 among the sheavesH6016 afterH310 the harvestersH7114.’ So she came outH935 and has continuedH5975 fromH227 morningH1242 untilH5704 nowH6258, exceptH2088 that she restedH3427 a short timeH4592 in the shelterH1004.”

8Then BoazH1162 saidH559 toH413 RuthH7327, “ListenH8085, my daughterH1323. Do notH408 goH1980 and gleanH3950 in anotherH312 fieldH7704, andH1571 do notH3808 go awayH5674 from thisH2088 place, but stay hereH3541 closeH1692 toH5973 my servant girlsH5291. 9Let your eyesH5869 be on the fieldH7704 they are harvestingH7114, and follow alongH1980 afterH310 these girls. IndeedH3808, I have orderedH6680 the young menH5288 notH1115 to touch youH5060. And when you are thirstyH6770, goH1980H413 and drinkH8354 fromH834 the jarsH3627 the young menH5288 have filledH7579.”

10At this, she fellH5307 onH5921 her faceH6440, bowing lowH7812 to the groundH776, and saidH559 to himH413, “WhyH4069 have I foundH4672 such favorH2580 in your eyesH5869 that you should take notice of meH5234, even though IH595 am a foreignerH5237?”

11BoazH1162 repliedH6030H559, “I have been made fully awareH5046 of allH3605 you have doneH6213 forH854 your mother-in-lawH2545 sinceH310 the deathH4194 of your husbandH376, how you leftH5800 your fatherH1 and motherH517 and the landH776 of your birthH4138, and how you cameH1980 toH413 a peopleH5971 you did notH3808 knowH3045 beforeH8543H8032. 12May the LORDH3068 repayH7999 your workH6467, and may you receiveH1961 a richH8003 rewardH4909 fromH5973 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, underH8478 whoseH834 wingsH3671 you have takenH935 refugeH2620.”
