Ruth 2 (kjv)

And Naomi^H5281 had a kinsman^{H4129 H3045} of her husband's^H376, a mighty^H1368 man^H376 of wealth^H2428, of the family^H4940 of Elimelech^H458; and his name^H8034 was Boaz^H1162.²And Ruth^H7327 the Moabitess^H4125 said^H559 unto Naomi^H5281, Let me now go^H3212 to the field^H7704, and glean^H3950 ears of corn^H7641 after^H310 him in whose sight^H5869 I shall find^H4672 grace^H2580. And she said^H559 unto her, Go^H3212, my daughter^H1323.³And she went^H3212, and came^H935, and gleaned^H3950 in the field^H7704 after^H310 the reapers^H7114: and her hap^H4745 was to light^H7136 on a part^H2513 of the field^H7704 belonging unto Boaz^H1162, who was of the kindred^H4940 of Elimelech^H458.

⁴And, behold, Boaz^H1162 came^H935 from Bethlehem^H1035, and said^H559 unto the reapers^H7114, The LORD^H3068 be with you. And they answered^H559 him, The LORD^H3068 bless^H1288 thee.⁵Then said^H559 Boaz^H1162 unto his servant^H5288 that was set^H5324 over the reapers^H7114, Whose damsel^H5291 is this?⁶And the servant^H5288 that was set^H5324 over the reapers^H7114 answered^H6030 and said^H559, It is the Moabitish^H4125 damsel^H5291 that came back^H7725 with Naomi^H5281 out of the country^H7704 of Moab^H4124:⁷And she said^H559, I pray you, let me glean^H3950 and gather^H622 after^H310 the reapers^H7114 among the sheaves^H6016: so she came^H935, and hath continued^H5975 even^H227 from the morning^H1242 until now, that she tarried^H3427 a little^H4592 in the house^H1004.

⁸Then said^H559 Boaz^H1162 unto Ruth^H7327, Hearest^H8085 thou not, my daughter^H1323? Go^H3212 not to glean^H3950 in another^H312 field^H7704, neither go^H5674 from hence, but abide^H1692 here fast by my maidens^H5291:⁹Let thine eyes^H5869 be on the field^H7704 that they do reap^H7114, and go^H1980 thou after^H310 them: have I not charged^H6680 the young men^H5288 that they shall not touch^H5060 thee? and when thou art athirst^H6770, go^H1980 unto the vessels^H3627, and drink^H8354 of that which the young men^H5288 have drawn^H7579.¹⁰Then she fell^H5307 on her face^H6440, and bowed^H7812 herself to the ground^H776, and said^H559 unto him, Why have I found^H4672 grace^H2580 in thine eyes^H5869, that thou shouldest take knowledge^H5234 of me, seeing I am a stranger^H5237?¹¹And Boaz^H1162 answered^H6030 and said^H559 unto her, It hath fully^H5046 been shewed^H5046 me, all that thou hast done^H6213 unto thy mother in law^H2545 since^H310 the death^H4194 of thine husband^H376: and how thou hast left^H5800 thy father^H1 and thy mother^H517, and the land^H776 of thy nativity^H4138, and art come^H3212 unto a people^H5971 which thou knewest^H3045 not heretofore^{H8543 H8032}.¹²The LORD^H3068 recompense^H7999 thy work^H6467, and a full^H8003 reward^H4909 be given thee of the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, under whose wings^H3671 thou art come^H935 to trust^H2620.¹³Then she said^H559, Let me find^H4672 favour^H2580 in thy sight^H5869, my lord^H113; for that thou hast comforted^H5162 me, and for that thou hast spoken^H1696 friendly^H3820 unto thine handmaid^H8198, though I be not like unto one^H259 of thine handmaidens^H8198.¹⁴And Boaz^H1162 said^H559 unto her, At mealtime^{H6256 H400} come^H5066 thou hither^H1988, and eat^H398 of the bread^H3899, and dip^H2881 thy morsel^H6595 in the vinegar^H2558. And she sat^H3427 beside^H6654 the reapers^H7114: and he reached^H6642 her parched^H7039 corn, and she did eat^H398, and was sufficed^H7646, and left^H3498.¹⁵And when she was risen up^H6965 to glean^H3950, Boaz^H1162 commanded^H6680 his young men^H5288, saying^H559, Let her glean^H3950 even among the sheaves^H6016, and reproach^H3637 her not:¹⁶And let fall^H7997 also some of the handfuls^H6653 of purpose^H7997 for her, and leave^H5800 them, that she may glean^H3950 them, and rebuke^H1605 her not.¹⁷So she gleaned^H3950 in the field^H7704 until even^H6153, and beat out^H2251 that she had gleaned^H3950: and it was about an ephah^H374 of barley^H8184.

¹⁸And she took it up^H5375, and went^H935 into the city^H5892: and her mother in law^H2545 saw^H7200 what she had gleaned^H3950: and she brought forth^H3318, and gave^H5414 to her that she had reserved^H3498 after she was sufficed^H7648.¹⁹And her mother in law^H2545 said^H559 unto her, Where hast thou gleaned^H3950 to day^H3117? and where^H375 wroughtest^H6213 thou? blessed^H1288 be he that did take knowledge^H5234 of thee. And she shewed^H5046 her mother in law^H2545 with whom she had wrought^H6213, and said^H559, The man's^H376 name^H8034 with whom I wrought^H6213 to day^H3117 is Boaz^H1162.²⁰And Naomi^H5281 said^H559 unto her daughter in law^H3618, Blessed^H1288 be he of the LORD^H3068, who hath not left off^H5800 his kindness^H2617 to the living^H2416 and to the dead^H4191. And Naomi^H5281 said^H559 unto her, The man^H376 is near of kin^H7138 unto us, one of our next kinsmen^H1350.²¹And Ruth^H7327 the Moabitess^H4125 said^H559, He said^H559 unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast^H1692 by my young men^H5288, until they have ended^H3615 all my harvest^H7105.²²And Naomi^H5281 said^H559 unto Ruth^H7327 her daughter in law^H3618, It is good^H2896, my daughter^H1323, that thou go out^H3318 with his maidens^H5291, that they meet^H6293 thee not in any other^H312 field^H7704.²³So she kept fast^H1692 by the maidens^H5291 of Boaz^H1162 to glean^H3950 unto the end^H3615 of barley^H8184 harvest^H7105 and of wheat^H2406 harvest^H7105; and dwelt^H3427 with her mother in law^H2545.
