| Now, hand over the good-for-nothings 1 in Gibeah so we can execute them and purge Israel of wickedness.” 2 But the Benjaminites refused to listen to their Israelite brothers. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 20:37 |
| The men hiding in ambush made a mad dash 1 to Gibeah. They 2 attacked 3 and put the sword to the entire city. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 21:13 |
| The entire assembly sent messengers to the Benjaminites at the cliff of Rimmon and assured them they would not be harmed. 1 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 21:22 |
| When their fathers or brothers come and protest to us, 1 we’ll say to them, “Do us a favor and let them be, 2 for we could not get each one a wife through battle. 3 Don’t worry about breaking your oath! 4 You would only be guilty if you had voluntarily given them wives.’” 5 |
| (1.00) | Rut 1:17 |
| Wherever you die, I will die – and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I do not keep my promise! 1 Only death will be able to separate me from you!” 2 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:1 |
| Now Naomi 1 had a relative 2 on her husband’s side of the family named Boaz. He was a wealthy, prominent man from the clan of Elimelech. 3 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:2 |
| One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go 1 to the fields so I can gather 2 grain behind whoever permits me to do so.” 3 Naomi 4 replied, “You may go, my daughter.” |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:3 |
| So Ruth 1 went and gathered grain in the fields 2 behind the harvesters. Now she just happened to end up 3 in the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech. |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:7 |
| She asked, 1 ‘May I follow the harvesters and gather 2 grain among the bundles?’ 3 Since she arrived she has been working hard 4 from this morning until now 5 – except for 6 sitting 7 in the resting hut 8 a short time.” 9 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:8 |
| So Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully, 1 my dear! 2 Do not leave to gather grain in another field. You need not 3 go beyond the limits of this field. You may go along beside 4 my female workers. 5 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:9 |
| Take note of 1 the field where the men 2 are harvesting and follow behind with the female workers. 3 I will tell the men 4 to leave you alone. 5 When you are thirsty, you may go to 6 the water jars 7 and drink some of the water 8 the servants draw.” 9 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:12 |
| May the Lord reward your efforts! 1 May your acts of kindness be repaid fully 2 by the Lord God of Israel, from whom you have sought protection!” 3 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:13 |
| She said, “You really are being kind to me, 1 sir, 2 for you have reassured 3 and encouraged 4 me, your servant, 5 even though I am 6 not one of your servants!” 7 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:15 |
| When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told 1 his male servants, “Let her gather grain even among 2 the bundles! Don’t chase her off! 3 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:16 |
| Make sure you pull out 1 ears of grain for her and drop them so she can gather them up. Don’t tell her not to!” 2 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:18 |
| She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw 1 how much grain 2 she had gathered. Then Ruth 3 gave her the roasted grain she had saved from mealtime. 4 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:19 |
| Her mother-in-law asked her, 1 “Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? May the one who took notice of you be rewarded!” 2 So Ruth 3 told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.” |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:21 |
| Ruth the Moabite replied, “He even 1 told me, ‘You may go along beside my servants 2 until they have finished gathering all my harvest!’” 3 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:22 |
| Naomi then said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “It is good, my daughter, that you should go out to work with his female servants. 1 That way you will not be harmed, which could happen in another field.” 2 |
| (1.00) | Rut 2:23 |
| So Ruth 1 worked beside 2 Boaz’s female servants, gathering grain until the end of the barley harvest as well as the wheat harvest. 3 After that she stayed home with her mother-in-law. 4 |
