Ruth 2:18-23
18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over after she had eaten enough.
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, �Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you!�
Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. �The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,� she said.
20 �The LORD bless him!� Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. �He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.� She added, �That man is our close relative; he is one of our kinsman-redeemers.�
21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, �He even said to me, �Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.��
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, �It will be good for you, my daughter, to go with his girls, because in someone else�s field you might be harmed.�
23 So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law. (Ruth2:18-23)
