Ruth2:18-23
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!â€
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.â€
21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He even said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.’â€
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.â€
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.
