And Naomi
had a kinsman
of her husband's,
a mighty
man
of wealth,
of the family
of Elimelech;
and his name
was Boaz.
And Ruth
the Moabitess
said
unto Naomi,
Let me now go
to the field,
and glean
ears of corn
after
him in whose sight
I shall find
grace.
And she said
unto her, Go,
my daughter.

And she went,
and came,
and gleaned
in the field
after
the reapers:
and her hap
was to light
on a part
of the field
belonging unto Boaz,
who was of the kindred
of Elimelech.

And, behold, Boaz
came
from Bethlehem,
and said
unto the reapers,
The LORD
be with you. And they answered
him, The LORD
bless
thee.
Then said
Boaz
unto his servant
that was set
over the reapers,
Whose damsel
is this?
And the servant
that was set
over the reapers
answered
and said,
It is the Moabitish
damsel
that came back
with Naomi
out of the country
of Moab:

And she said,
I pray you, let me glean
and gather
after
the reapers
among the sheaves:
so she came,
and hath continued
even
from the morning
until now, that she tarried
a little
in the house.

Then said
Boaz
unto Ruth,
Hearest
thou not, my daughter?
Go
not to glean
in another
field,
neither go
from hence, but abide
here fast by my maidens:
say
Let thine eyes
be on the field
that they do reap,
and go
thou after
them: have I not charged
the young men
that they shall not touch
thee? and when thou art athirst,
go
unto the vessels,
and drink
of that which the young men
have drawn.

Then she fell
on her face,
and bowed
herself to the ground,
and said
unto him, Why have I found
grace
in thine eyes,
that thou shouldest take knowledge
of me, seeing I am a stranger?
say
And Boaz
answered
and said
unto her, It hath fully
been shewed
me, all that thou hast done
unto thy mother in law
since
the death
of thine husband:
and how thou hast left
thy father
and thy mother,
and the land
of thy nativity,
and art come
unto a people
which thou knewest
not heretofore.
say

The LORD
recompense
thy work,
and a full
reward
be given thee of the LORD
God
of Israel,
under whose wings
thou art come
to trust.
Then she said,
Let me find
favour
in thy sight,
my lord;
for that thou hast comforted
me, and for that thou hast spoken
friendly
unto thine handmaid,
though I be not like unto one
of thine handmaidens.
say
And Boaz
said
unto her, At mealtime
come
thou hither,
and eat
of the bread,
and dip
thy morsel
in the vinegar.
And she sat
beside
the reapers:
and he reached
her parched
corn, and she did eat,
and was sufficed,
and left.

And when she was risen up
to glean,

his young men,
saying,
Let her glean
even among the sheaves,
and reproach
her not:

And let fall

So she gleaned
in the field
until even,
and beat out
that she had gleaned:
and it was about an ephah
of barley.
And she took it up,
and went
into the city:
and her mother in law
saw
what she had gleaned:
and she brought forth,
and gave
to her that she had reserved
after she was sufficed.
And her mother in law
said
unto her, Where hast thou gleaned
to day?
and where
wroughtest
thou? blessed
be he that did take knowledge
of thee. And she shewed
her mother in law
with whom she had wrought,
and said,
The man's
name
with whom I wrought
to day
is Boaz.

And Naomi
said
unto her daughter in law,
Blessed
be he of the LORD,
who hath not left off
his kindness

and to the dead.
And Naomi
said
unto her, The man
is near of kin
unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
