Then
said Boaz unto
Ruth, Hearest thou not, my
daughter? Go not to
glean in
another field, neither
go from hence, but
abide here fast by my
maidens:

Let thine
eyes be on the
field that they do
reap, and
go thou
after them: have I not
charged the young
men that they shall not
touch thee? and when thou art
athirst,
go unto the
vessels, and
drink of that which the young
men have
drawn.

Then she
fell on her
face, and
bowed herself to the
ground, and
said unto him, Why have I
found grace in thine
eyes, that thou shouldest take
knowledge of me, seeing I am a
stranger?

And
Boaz answered and
said unto her, It hath
fully been
shewed me, all that thou hast
done unto thy mother in
law since the
death of thine
husband: and how thou hast
left thy
father and thy
mother, and the
land of thy
nativity, and art
come unto a
people which thou
knewest not
heretofore*.

The
LORD recompense thy
work, and a
full reward be given thee of the
LORD God of
Israel, under whose
wings thou art
come to
trust.

Then she
said, Let me
find favour in thy
sight, my
lord; for that thou hast
comforted me, and for that thou hast
spoken friendly unto thine
handmaid, though I be not like unto
one of thine
handmaidens.

And
Boaz said unto her, At
mealtime* come thou
hither, and
eat of the
bread, and
dip thy
morsel in the
vinegar. And she
sat beside the
reapers: and he
reached her
parched corn, and she did
eat, and was
sufficed, and
left.

And when she was risen
up to
glean,
Boaz commanded his young
men, saying, Let her
glean even among the
sheaves, and
reproach her not:

And let
fall also some of the
handfuls of
purpose for her, and
leave them, that she may
glean them, and
rebuke her not.
