◄ H1162 ►

And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was H1162.

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 H1162, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

And, behold, H1162 came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.

Then said H1162 unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

Then said H1162 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:

And H1162 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.

And H1162 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, H1162 commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

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 H1162.

So she kept fast by the maidens of H1162 to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
