Ruth 2:8-23

8Then saidH559 BoazH1162 unto RuthH7327, Hearest thou notH3808, my daughterH1323? GoH5674 notH3808 to gleanH3950 in anotherH312 fieldH7704, neitherH3808 passH5674 from hence, but abide hereH2088 fastH1692 by my maidensH5291. 9LetH1980 thine eyesH5869 be on the fieldH7704 that they doH6680 reapH7114, and goH1980 thou afterH310 them: have I notH3808 chargedH6680 the youngH5288 menH5288 that they shall notH3808 touchH5060 thee? and when thou art athirst, goH1980 unto the vesselsH3627, and drinkH8354 of that whichH834 the youngH5288 menH5288 have drawnH5060. 10Then sheH6440 fellH5307 on herH413 faceH6440, and bowedH7812 herselfH7812 to the groundH776, and saidH559 unto him, WhyH4069 have I foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, that thou shouldest takeH5234 knowledgeH5869 of meH413, seeing I am a strangerH5237? 11And BoazH1162 answeredH559 and saidH559 unto herH3605, It hath fullyH5046 been shewed meH413, allH3605 that thou hast doneH6213 unto thy motherH517 in law sinceH310 the deathH4194 of thine husbandH376: and howH834 thou hast leftH5800 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, and the landH776 of thy nativity, and art come unto a peopleH5971 whichH834 thou knewest notH3808 heretofore. 12The LORDH3068 recompense thy workH6467, and a fullH8003 rewardH7999 be given thee of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, underH8478 whoseH834 wingsH3671 thou art comeH935 to takeH2620 refugeH2620. 13Then sheH3588 saidH559, LetH1961 meH5921 findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113; for that thou hast comfortedH5162 meH5921, and for that thou hast spokenH1696 kindlyH3820 unto thine handmaid, thoughH3588 I be notH3808 as one of thine handmaidens. 14And at meal-time BoazH1162 saidH559 unto herH398, ComeH5066 hither, and eatH398 of the breadH3899, and dipH2881 thy morselH6595 in the vinegarH2558. And sheH6256 satH3427 besideH6654 the reapers: and they reached herH398 parchedH7039 corn, and sheH6256 did eatH398, and was sufficed, and leftH3498 thereof. 15And when sheH3808 was risenH6965 upH6965 to gleanH3950, BoazH1162 commandedH6680 his youngH5288 menH5288, sayingH559, LetH3808 herH996 gleanH3950 evenH1571 among the sheaves, and reproach herH996 notH3808. 16And also pull outH4480 someH4480 for herH1571 from the bundlesH6653, and leaveH5800 it, and letH3808 herH1571 gleanH3950, and rebukeH1605 herH1571 notH3808. 17SoH1961 sheH834 gleanedH3950 in the fieldH7704 untilH5704 evenH5704; and sheH834 beatH2251 outH2251 that sheH834 had gleanedH3950, and it was aboutH1961 an ephahH374 of barleyH8184. 18And sheH834 tookH5375 it upH5375, and wentH3318 intoH935 the cityH5892: and herH5414 mother in law sawH7200 whatH834 sheH834 had gleanedH3950: and sheH834 broughtH935 forthH3318 and gaveH5414 to herH5414 that sheH834 had leftH3498 afterH3318 sheH834 was sufficed. 19And herH5046 mother in law saidH559 unto herH5046, WhereH834 hast thou gleanedH3950 todayH3117? and whereH834 wroughtest thou? blessedH1288 be he that didH6213 takeH1961 knowledge of thee. And sheH834 shewed herH5046 mother in law with whomH834 sheH834 had wrought, and saidH559, The man’sH376 nameH8034 with whomH834 I wrought todayH3117 is BoazH1162. 20And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto herH559 daughter in law, BlessedH1288 be he of the LORDH3068, who hath notH3808 leftH5800 off his kindnessH2617 to the livingH2416 and to the deadH4191. And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto herH559, The manH376 is nigh of kin unto usH559, one of our nearH7138 kinsmenH7138. 21And RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125 saidH559, YeaH3588, he saidH559 unto meH413, Thou shalt keep fastH1692 by my youngH5288 menH5288, untilH5704 they have endedH3615 allH3605 my harvestH7105. 22And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto RuthH7327 herH413 daughterH1323 in law, It is goodH2896, my daughterH1323, that thou goH3318 outH3318 with his maidensH5291, and that they meetH6293 thee notH3808 in anyH312 otherH312 fieldH7704. 23SoH3427 sheH5704 kept fastH1692 by the maidensH5291 of BoazH1162 to gleanH3950 unto the endH3615 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105 and of wheatH2406 harvestH7105; and sheH5704 dweltH3427 with herH5704 mother in law.
