Ruth 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And the servant that was appointed over the reapers, answered, and said, It is the Moabitish maid, that came with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7 And she said unto us, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers [a]among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued from that time in the morning unto now, save that she tarried a little in the house.
8 ¶ Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou, my daughter? go to none other field to gather, neither go from hence: but abide here by my maidens.

6 The overseer replied, “She is the Moabite(A) who came back from Moab with Naomi. 7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves(B) behind the harvesters.’ She came into the field and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest(C) in the shelter.”
8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me.
