Ruth 2:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ Then Ruth, the Moabite, said, “Boaz ·also [even] told me, ‘Keep close to my ·workers [young men] until they have finished my whole harvest.’”

²² But Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “It is better for you to continue working with his ·women workers [female servants; young women]. If you work in another field, someone might ·hurt [harm; or harass] you.” ²³ So Ruth continued working closely with the ·workers [female workers; young women] of Boaz, gathering grain until the barley harvest [^CMarch-April] and the wheat harvest [^CApril-May] were finished. And she continued to live with Naomi, her mother-in-law.
