19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man ^gwho took notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.” 20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, ^h“May he be blessed by the Lord, whose kindness has not forsaken ⁱthe living or the dead!” Naomi also said to her, “The man is a close relative of ours, one of ^jour redeemers.” 21 And Ruth the Moabite said, “Besides, he said to me, ‘You shall keep close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’” 22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, lest in another field you be assaulted.” 23 So she kept close to the young women of Boaz, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek ^krest for you, that it may be well with you? 2 Is not Boaz ^lour relative, ^mwith whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor. 3 ⁿWash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your cloak and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do.” 5 And she replied, “All that you say I will do.”
