Ruth 2:4-17

And, behold, Boaz
<01162>
came
<0935> (8802)
from Bethlehem
<01035>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the reapers
<07114> (8802)_,
The LORD
<03068>
[be] with you. And they answered
<0559> (8799)
him, The LORD
<03068>
bless
<01288> (8762)
thee.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Boaz
<01162>
unto his servant
<05288>
that was set
<05324> (8737)
over the reapers
<07114> (8802)_,
Whose damsel
<05291>
[is] this?
And the servant
<05288>
that was set
<05324> (8737)
over the reapers
<07114> (8802)
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
It [is] the Moabitish
<04125>
damsel
<05291>
that came back
<07725> (8804)
with Naomi
<05281>
out of the country
<07704>
of Moab
<04124>_:
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I pray you, let me glean
<03950> (8762)
and gather
<0622> (8804)
after
<0310>
the reapers
<07114> (8802)
among the sheaves
<06016>_:
so she came
<0935> (8799)_,
and hath continued
<05975> (8799)
even
<0227>
from the morning
<01242>
until now, that she tarried
<03427> (8800)
a little
<04592>
in the house
<01004>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Boaz
<01162>
unto Ruth
<07327>_,
Hearest
<08085> (8804)
thou not, my daughter
<01323>_?
Go
<03212> (8799)
not to glean
<03950> (8800)
in another
<0312>
field
<07704>_,
neither go
<05674> (8799)
from hence, but abide
<01692> (8799)
here fast by my maidens
<05291>_:
[Let] thine eyes
<05869>
[be] on the field
<07704>
that they do reap
<07114> (8799)_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
thou after
<0310>
them: have I not charged
<06680> (8765)
the young men
<05288>
that they shall not touch
<05060> (8800)
thee? and when thou art athirst
<06770> (8804)_,
go
<01980> (8804)
unto the vessels
<03627>_,
and drink
<08354> (8804)
of [that] which the young men
<05288>
have drawn
<07579> (8799)_.
Then she fell
<05307> (8799)
on her face
<06440>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
herself to the ground
<0776>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why have I found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in thine eyes
<05869>_,
that thou shouldest take knowledge
<05234> (8687)
of me, seeing I [am] a stranger
<05237>_?
And Boaz
<01162>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, It hath fully
<05046> (8715)
been shewed
<05046> (8717)
me, all that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto thy mother in law
<02545>
since
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of thine husband
<0376>_:
and [how] thou hast left
<05800> (8799)
thy father
<01>
and thy mother
<0517>_,
and the land
<0776>
of thy nativity
<04138>_,
and art come
<03212> (8799)
unto a people
<05971>
which thou knewest
<03045> (8804)
not heretofore
<08543> <08032>_.
The LORD
<03068>
recompense
<07999> (8762)
thy work
<06467>_,
and a full
<08003>
reward
<04909>
be given thee of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
under whose wings
<03671>
thou art come
<0935> (8804)
to trust
<02620> (8800)_.
Then she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me find
<04672> (8799)
favour
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
my lord
<0113>_;
for that thou hast comforted
<05162> (8765)
me, and for that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
friendly
<03820>
unto thine handmaid
<08198>_,
though I be not like unto one
<0259>
of thine handmaidens
<08198>_.
{Let me...: or, I find} {friendly: Heb. to the heart}
And Boaz
<01162>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, At mealtime
<06256> <0400>
come
<05066> (8798)
thou hither
<01988>_,
and eat
<0398> (8804)
of the bread
<03899>_,
and dip
<02881> (8804)
thy morsel
<06595>
in the vinegar
<02558>_.
And she sat
<03427> (8799)
beside
<06654>
the reapers
<07114> (8802)_:
and he reached
<06642> (8799)
her parched
<07039>
[corn], and she did eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and was sufficed
<07646> (8799)_,
and left
<03498> (8686)_.
And when she was risen up
<06965> (8799)
to glean
<03950> (8763)_,
Boaz
<01162>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
his young men
<05288>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let her glean
<03950> (8762)
even among the sheaves
<06016>_,
and reproach
<03637> (8686)
her not: {reproach...: Heb. shame her not}
And let fall
<07997> (8799)
also [some] of the handfuls
<06653>
of purpose
<07997> (8800)
for her, and leave
<05800> (8804)
[them], that she may glean
<03950> (8765)
[them], and rebuke
<01605> (8799)
her not.
So she gleaned
<03950> (8762)
in the field
<07704>
until even
<06153>_,
and beat out
<02251> (8799)
that she had gleaned
<03950> (8765)_:
and it was about an ephah
<0374>
of barley
<08184>_.
