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 3:1
Naomi Instructs Ruth
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 3:16
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 1:11
1:11 But Naomi replied, “Go back home, my daughters! There is no reason for you to return to Judah with me! I am no longer capable of giving birth to sons who might become your husbands!
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 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 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 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 1:12-13
1:12 Go back home, my daughters! For I am too old to get married again.
Even if I thought that there was hope that I could get married tonight and conceive sons,
1:13 surely you would not want to wait until they were old enough to marry!
Surely you would not remain unmarried all that time!
No,
my daughters, you must not return with me.
For my intense suffering
is too much for you to bear.
For the
Lord is afflicting me!”
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 3:10
3:10 He said, “May you be rewarded
by the
Lord, my dear!
This act of devotion
is greater than what you did before.
For you have not sought to marry
one of the young men, whether rich or poor.
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!
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 2:20
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.”
