Ruth 2:17
2:17 So she gathered grain in the field until evening. When she threshed
what she had gathered, it came to about thirty pounds
of barley!
Ruth 2:15-16
2:15 When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told
his male servants, “Let her gather grain even among
the bundles! Don’t chase her off!
2:16 Make sure you pull out
ears of grain for her and drop them so she can gather them up. Don’t tell her not to!”
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 2:7
2:7 She asked,
‘May I follow the harvesters and gather
grain among the bundles?’
Since she arrived she has been working hard
from this morning until now
– except for
sitting
in the resting hut
a short time.”
Ruth 2:18
Ruth Returns to Naomi
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 2:2
2:2 One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go
to the fields so I can gather
grain behind whoever permits me to do so.”
Naomi
replied, “You may go, my daughter.”
Ruth 2:8
2:8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully, my dear! Do not leave to gather grain in another field. You need not go beyond the limits of this field. You may go along beside my female workers.
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.”
