'Answering' in the Bible

And Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.

And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
