Ruth 2:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² One day, Ruth, the woman from Moab, said to Naomi, ‘Let me go to the fields to pick up some grain from the harvest. I will walk behind anyone who lets me do that.’ Naomi said, ‘Yes, my daughter, go and do that.’ ³ So Ruth went to the fields. She began to pick up the grains of barley that the men dropped on the ground.^[a] It happened that she was in part of a field that belonged to Boaz. Boaz was from Elimelech's clan.

⁴ Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem town. He said ‘hello’ to the workers. ‘I pray that the Lord will help you,’ he said. The men replied, ‘We pray that the Lord will bless you!’
