Thematic Bible



So she stayed close by the maids of Boaz in order to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

The servant in charge of the reapers replied, "She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab. "And she said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' Thus she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while."


But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.


Now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you ask, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence.


She said to her, “All that you say I will do.”
