Ruth 1:16
1:16 But Ruth replied,
“Stop urging me to abandon you!
For wherever you go, I will go.
Wherever you live, I will live.
Your people will become my people,
and your God will become my God.
Ruth 2:9
2:9 Take note of
the field where the men
are harvesting and follow behind with the female workers.
I will tell the men

When you are thirsty, you may go to
the water jars
and drink some of the water
the servants draw.”

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.

until they have finished gathering all my harvest!’”

in Bethlehem.
