said, “Look, your sister-in-law is returning to her people and to her god.
Follow your sister-in-law back home!”

When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, “How did things turn out for you, my daughter?” Ruth told her about all the man had done for her.

1:7 Now as she and her two daughters-in-law began to leave the place where she had been living to return to the land of Judah,
Ruth 1:22
1:22 So Naomi returned, accompanied by her Moabite daughter-in-law Ruth, who came back with her from the region of Moab.
(Now they
arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.)
Ruth 3:17
3:17 She said, “He gave me these sixty pounds of barley, for he said to me,
‘Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
Ruth 2:19
2:19 Her mother-in-law asked her,
“Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? May the one who took notice of you be rewarded!”
So Ruth
told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

3:1 At that time, Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home for you so you will be secure.
Ruth 1:6
1:6 So she decided to return home from the region of Moab, accompanied by her daughters-in-law,
because while she was living in Moab
she had heard that the
Lord had shown concern
for his people, reversing the famine by providing abundant crops.
Ruth 1:8
1:8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Listen to me! Each of you should return to your mother’s home!
May the
Lord show
you
the same kind of devotion that you have shown to your deceased husbands
and to me!

2:18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much grain she had gathered. Then Ruth gave her the roasted grain she had saved from mealtime.
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 4:15
4:15 He will encourage you and provide for you when you are old,
for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given him birth. She
is better to you than seven sons!”
Ruth 2:22
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.
That way you will not be harmed, which could happen in another field.”
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.
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 2:3
2:3 So Ruth
went and gathered grain in the fields
behind the harvesters. Now she just happened to end up
in the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
