Ruth 2:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “I am going to go out to the fields, so that I can glean^[a] ears of grain wherever I may find favor in the eyes of the owner.” Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.”

³ So Ruth went out and gleaned in the grain fields after the reapers. It happened that she was in the field that belonged to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek. ⁴ At just that time, Boaz happened to come out from Bethlehem. He said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you!”

And they said to him, “The Lord bless you!”
