1 And to Naomi an acquaintance to her husband, a strong man of wealth, from the family of Elimelech; and his name Boaz. 2 And Ruth the Moabitess will say to Naomi, I will now go to the field and I will gather among the ears after; whom I shall find favor in his eyes. And she will say to her, Go, my daughter. 3 And she will go, and come and gather in the field after the reapers; and she will happen from chance upon a part of the field to Boaz, who was from the family of Elimelech. 4 And behold, Boaz came from the house of bread, and he will say to the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they will say to him, Jehovah will bless thee. 5 And Boaz will say to his young man set over the reapers, To whom this maiden? 6 And the young man set over the reapers will answer and say, The Moabitess maiden; she turned back with Naomi from the field of Moab. 7 And she will say, I will gather now; and I collected among the sheaves after the reapers: and she will stand from that time of the morning, and even to this time of her sitting in the house a little.
