Ruth 2:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. She beat out what she had gathered, and it was about 26 quarts^[a] of barley. ¹⁸ She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. Then she brought out what she had left over from her meal and gave it to her.

¹⁹ Then her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you gather barley today, and where did you work? May the Lord bless the man who noticed you.”^(A)

Ruth told her mother-in-law about the men she had worked with and said, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.”
