Ruth 1:7
Ruth Returns with Naomi
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 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.
Ruth 2:12
2:12 May the
Lord reward your efforts!
May your acts of kindness be repaid fully
by the
Lord God of Israel, from whom you have sought protection!”
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 3:11
3:11 Now, my dear, don’t worry!
I intend to do for you everything you propose,
for everyone in the village
knows that you are a worthy woman.
Ruth 3:15-16
3:15 Then he said, “Hold out the shawl
you are wearing
and grip it tightly.” As she held it tightly, he measured out about sixty pounds
of barley into the shawl and put it on her shoulders. Then he
went into town,
3:16 and she returned to her mother-in-law.
Ruth Returns to Naomi
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.
Ruth 3:18
3:18 Then Naomi
said, “Stay put,
my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out. For the man will not rest until he has taken care of the matter today.”
Ruth 4:14
4:14 The village women said to Naomi, “May the
Lord be praised because he has not left you without a guardian
today! May he
become famous in Israel!
