Ruth 2:4-12
4And, behold, BoazH1162 cameH935 from Beth–lehemH1035, and saidH559 unto the reapersH7114, YhwhH3068 be with you. And they answeredH559 him, YhwhH3068 blessH1288 thee. 5Then saidH559 BoazH1162 unto his servantH5288 that was setH5324 over the reapersH7114, Whose damselH5291 is this? 6And the servantH5288 that was setH5324 over the reapersH7114 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is the MoabitishH4125 damselH5291 that came backH7725 with NaomiH5281 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: 7And she saidH559, I pray you, let me gleanH3950 and gatherH622 afterH310 the reapersH7114 among the sheavesH6016: so she cameH935, and hath continuedH5975 evenH227 from the morningH1242 until now, that she tarriedH3427 a littleH4592 in the houseH1004. 8Then saidH559 BoazH1162 unto RuthH7327, HearestH8085 thou not, my daughterH1323? GoH3212 not to gleanH3950 in anotherH312 fieldH7704, neither goH5674 from hence, but abideH1692 here fast by my maidensH5291: 9Let thine eyesH5869 be on the fieldH7704 that they do reapH7114, and goH1980 thou afterH310 them: have I not chargedH6680 the young menH5288 that they shall not touchH5060 thee? and when thou art athirstH6770, goH1980 unto the vesselsH3627, and drinkH8354 of that which the young menH5288 have drawnH7579. 10Then she fellH5307 on her faceH6440, and bowedH7812 herself to the groundH776, and saidH559 unto him, Why have I foundH4672 graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869, that thou shouldest take knowledgeH5234 of me, seeing I am a strangerH5237? 11And BoazH1162 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto her, It hath fullyH5046 been shewedH5046 me, all that thou hast doneH6213 unto thy mother in lawH2545 sinceH310 the deathH4194 of thine husbandH376: and how thou hast leftH5800 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, and the landH776 of thy nativityH4138, and art comeH3212 unto a peopleH5971 which thou knewestH3045 not heretoforeH8032H8543. 12YhwhH3068 recompenseH7999 thy workH6467, and a fullH8003 rewardH4909 be given thee of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, under whose wingsH3671 thou art comeH935 to trustH2620.
