Ruth 2:18-23

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁸ She took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took it out and ^(A)gave ^[a]Naomi what she had left after ^[b]she was satisfied. ¹⁹ Her mother-in-law then said to her, “Where did you glean today and where did you ^[c]work? May he who ^(B)took notice of you be blessed.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had ^[d]worked and said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.” ²⁰ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “^(C)May he be blessed of Yahweh who has not forsaken his lovingkindness to the living and to the dead.” Then Naomi said to her, “The man is ^[e]our relative; he is one of our kinsman redeemers.” ²¹ Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “^[f]Furthermore, he said to me, ‘You should ^[g]stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’” ²² Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, so that others do not oppress you in another field.” ²³ So she ^[h]stayed close by the young women of Boaz in order to glean until ^(D)the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
