Ruth 2:17-23 - Ruth And Naomi Talk About Boaz
17 She gathered the heads of grain till evening. After crushing out the seed, it came to about an ephah of grain. 18 She carried it back to town to show her mother-in-law what she gathered. She kept enough for herself and gave Naomi the rest.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her: Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? Blessed is the man who gave you this attention. So she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said: The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law: May Jehovah bless him. The man is kind to the living and to the dead. Then Naomi admitted to her: The man is of our family, one of our near relatives.
21 Ruth the Moabitess said: Truly, he said to me: 'Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.'
22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law: It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field. 23 So she kept near the servant girls of Boaz to gather the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain was ended. She continued living with her mother-in-law.
