RF RUT 2:1 Boaz meets Ruth Gleaning.
But Naomi had a relative of her husband, a very rich man, of the family of Elimelekh, whose name was Boaz.
RF RUT 2:2 And Ruth, the Moabitess, once said to Naomi, "I will go out into the field, and glean amongst the sheaves, after whoever I may, in whose eyes I find kindness." And she replied, "Go my girl."
RF RUT 2:3 So she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers, and she happened to alight on that part of the plain belonging to Boaz, of the family of Elimelekh!
RF RUT 2:4 And Boaz also came out from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The EVER-LIVING be with you!" and they replied to him, "The EVER-LIVING bless you!"
RF RUT 2:5 Then Boaz asked his Steward whom he had appointed over the reapers, "Whose girl is this?"
RF RUT 2:6 And the foreman of the reapers replied, and said, "She is a Moabitess, who resided with Naomi in the plain of Moab,
RF RUT 2:7 and she asked, 'May I glean, please,—and gather after the reapers among the sheaves?' So she came, and has gleaned since this morning till now,—except that she returned a while to her home."
RF RUT 2:8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Do you not hear my child? Go not to another part of the plain, nor retire from here, but keep along with my own girls.
RF RUT 2:9 Watch for the field where they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty go to the buckets and drink what the young men have drawn."
RF RUT 2:10 Then she inclined her face, and bowed earthward, and asked him, "Why have I found favour in your eyes? for you to attend to me, when I am a foreigner?"
RF RUT 2:11 But Boaz replied and asked her, "Tell me all that you have done for your mother-in-law, after the death of your husband,—when you abandoned your father and mother, and country to go, and travel to a people whom you did not know formerly?
RF RUT 2:12 May the EVER-LIVING reward your act! And may the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel pay you well, since you came to shelter under his canopy!"
RF RUT 2:13 And she answered, "I have found favour in your sight, sir,—for you have comforted me. And you have spoken to the heart of your servant, altho' I am not one of your servants."
RF RUT 2:14 Then Boaz said to her;—"At dinner time go along with them and eat of the food, and dip your morsel in the wine." So she sat beside the reapers, and he handed her oatcake, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it!
RF RUT 2:15 Then she arose to glean, and Boaz ordered his men saying;
"Let her even glean amongst the stalks, and do not insult her.
RF RUT 2:16 And also pull some out from the sheaves and drop, that she may glean it, and find no fault with her ":
RF RUT 2:17 She consequently gleaned in the field till dusk, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was an Ephah of barley.
RF RUT 2:18 Then she took it up, and went to the village, and showed her mother-in-law what she had gleaned. Then she brought out, and gave to her what she had left after herself had dined.
RF RUT 2:19 Her mother-in-law consequently asked her, "Where have you gleaned to-day, and what have you done? May whoever noticed you be blest!"
"So she informed her mother-in-law who had done it for her, and she said, "The name of the man who was kind to me to-day is Boaz!"
RF RUT 2:20 Then Naomi exclaimed, "May he be completely blest by the EVER-LIVING for he has not ceased his kindness to the living or to the dead!"—Naomi also said to her, "That man is related to us,—he can restore us!"
RF RUT 2:21 Then Ruth the Moabitess added, "Yes! For he also said to me, 'You must keep with my servants to the end of the whole harvest that I have!"
RF RUT 2:22 Naomi then replied to Ruth, "That is right, my girl!—so go along with his girls, and let no one find you in another field."
RF RUT 2:23 So she kept with the girls of Boaz to glean until the end of the barley harvest, and wheat harvest, and resided with her mother-in-law.
