Ruth 2:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Ruth Gleans in Boaz’ Field

2 Now Naomi had ^[a]a kinsman of her husband, a ^[b]man of great wealth, of the family of ^(A)Elimelech, whose name was Boaz. ² And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field and ^(B)glean among the ears of grain after one in whose sight I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” ³ So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and ^[c]she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
