Ruth 2:4-7

4Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem town. He said ‘hello’ to the workers. ‘I pray that the Lord will help you,’ he said. The men replied, ‘We pray that the Lord will bless you!’

5Boaz asked the leader of his workers, ‘Who is that young woman? Which family does she belong to?’

6The man said, ‘She is that young woman from Moab, who returned from Moab with Naomi.

7She asked me, “Please let me walk behind your workers. Then I can pick up the grains of barley that they leave on the ground.” She has worked very hard in the field since she arrived this morning. She only had a short rest in the hut.’
