Ruth 1:10
1:10 But they said to her, “No!
We will
return with you to your people.”
Ruth 1:18
1:18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to dissuade her.
Ruth 2:20
2:20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be rewarded by the
Lord because he
has shown loyalty to the living on behalf of the dead!”
Then Naomi said to her, “This man is a close relative of ours; he is our guardian.”
Ruth 2:23
2:23 So Ruth
worked beside
Boaz’s female servants, gathering grain until the end of the barley harvest as well as the wheat harvest.
After that she stayed home with her mother-in-law.
Ruth 3:2
3:2 Now Boaz, with whose female servants you worked, is our close relative.
Look, tonight he is winnowing barley at the threshing floor.
Ruth 4:5
4:5 Then Boaz said, “When
you acquire the field
from Naomi,
you must also
acquire Ruth the Moabite,
the wife of our deceased relative,
in order to preserve his family name by raising up a descendant who will inherit his property.”
Ruth 2:11
2:11 Boaz replied to her,
“I have been given a full report of
all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband – how you left
your father and your mother, as well as your homeland, and came to live among people you did not know previously.
