1 And Naomi 5281 had a kinsman 4129 3045 of her husband's 376, a mighty 1368 man 376 of wealth 2428, of the family 4940 of Elimelech 458; and his name 8034 was Boaz 1162.
2 And Ruth 7327 the Moabitess 4125 said 559 unto Naomi 5281, Let me now go 3212 to the field 7704, and glean 3950 ears of corn 7641 after 310 him in whose sight 5869 I shall find 4672 grace 2580. And she said 559 unto her, Go 3212, my daughter 1323.
3 And she went 3212, and came 935, and gleaned 3950 in the field 7704 after 310 the reapers 7114: and her hap 4745 was to light 7136 on a part 2513 of the field 7704 belonging unto Boaz 1162, who was of the kindred 4940 of Elimelech 458.
4 And, behold, Boaz 1162 came 935 from Bethlehem 1035, and said 559 unto the reapers 7114, The LORD 3068 be with you. And they answered 559 him, The LORD 3068 bless 1288 thee.
5 Then said 559 Boaz 1162 unto his servant 5288 that was set 5324 over the reapers 7114, Whose damsel 5291 is this?
6 And the servant 5288 that was set 5324 over the reapers 7114 answered 6030 and said 559, It is the Moabitish 4125 damsel 5291 that came back 7725 with Naomi 5281 out of the country 7704 of Moab 4124:
7 And she said 559, I pray you, let me glean 3950 and gather 622 after 310 the reapers 7114 among the sheaves 6016: so she came 935, and hath continued 5975 even 227 from the morning 1242 until now, that she tarried 3427 a little 4592 in the house 1004.
8 Then said 559 Boaz 1162 unto Ruth 7327, Hearest 8085 thou not, my daughter 1323? Go 3212 not to glean 3950 in another 312 field 7704, neither go 5674 from hence, but abide 1692 here fast by my maidens 5291:
9 Let thine eyes 5869 be on the field 7704 that they do reap 7114, and go 1980 thou after 310 them: have I not charged 6680 the young men 5288 that they shall not touch 5060 thee? and when thou art athirst 6770, go 1980 unto the vessels 3627, and drink 8354 of that which the young men 5288 have drawn 7579.
10 Then she fell 5307 on her face 6440, and bowed 7812 herself to the ground 776, and said 559 unto him, Why have I found 4672 grace 2580 in thine eyes 5869, that thou shouldest take knowledge 5234 of me, seeing I am a stranger 5237?
11 And Boaz 1162 answered 6030 and said 559 unto her, It hath fully 5046 been shewed 5046 me, all that thou hast done 6213 unto thy mother in law 2545 since 310 the death 4194 of thine husband 376: and how thou hast left 5800 thy father 1 and thy mother 517, and the land 776 of thy nativity 4138, and art come 3212 unto a people 5971 which thou knewest 3045 not heretofore 8543 8032.
12 The LORD 3068 recompense 7999 thy work 6467, and a full 8003 reward 4909 be given thee of the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, under whose wings 3671 thou art come 935 to trust 2620.
13 Then she said 559, Let me find 4672 favour 2580 in thy sight 5869, my lord 113; for that thou hast comforted 5162 me, and for that thou hast spoken 1696 friendly 3820 unto thine handmaid 8198, though I be not like unto one 259 of thine handmaidens 8198.
14 And Boaz 1162 said 559 unto her, At mealtime 6256 400 come 5066 thou hither 1988, and eat 398 of the bread 3899, and dip 2881 thy morsel 6595 in the vinegar 2558. And she sat 3427 beside 6654 the reapers 7114: and he reached 6642 her parched 7039 corn, and she did eat 398, and was sufficed 7646, and left 3498.
15 And when she was risen up 6965 to glean 3950, Boaz 1162 commanded 6680 his young men 5288, saying 559, Let her glean 3950 even among the sheaves 6016, and reproach 3637 her not:
16 And let fall 7997 also some of the handfuls 6653 of purpose 7997 for her, and leave 5800 them, that she may glean 3950 them, and rebuke 1605 her not.
17 So she gleaned 3950 in the field 7704 until even 6153, and beat out 2251 that she had gleaned 3950: and it was about an ephah 374 of barley 8184.
18 And she took it up 5375, and went 935 into the city 5892: and her mother in law 2545 saw 7200 what she had gleaned 3950: and she brought forth 3318, and gave 5414 to her that she had reserved 3498 after she was sufficed 7648.
19 And her mother in law 2545 said 559 unto her, Where hast thou gleaned 3950 to day 3117? and where 375 wroughtest 6213 thou? blessed 1288 be he that did take knowledge 5234 of thee. And she shewed 5046 her mother in law 2545 with whom she had wrought 6213, and said 559, The man's 376 name 8034 with whom I wrought 6213 to day 3117 is Boaz 1162.
20 And Naomi 5281 said 559 unto her daughter in law 3618, Blessed 1288 be he of the LORD 3068, who hath not left off 5800 his kindness 2617 to the living 2416 and to the dead 4191. And Naomi 5281 said 559 unto her, The man 376 is near of kin 7138 unto us, one of our next kinsmen 1350.
21 And Ruth 7327 the Moabitess 4125 said 559, He said 559 unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast 1692 by my young men 5288, until they have ended 3615 all my harvest 7105.
22 And Naomi 5281 said 559 unto Ruth 7327 her daughter in law 3618, It is good 2896, my daughter 1323, that thou go out 3318 with his maidens 5291, that they meet 6293 thee not in any other 312 field 7704.
23 So she kept fast 1692 by the maidens 5291 of Boaz 1162 to glean 3950 unto the end 3615 of barley 8184 harvest 7105 and of wheat 2406 harvest 7105; and dwelt 3427 with her mother in law 2545.
