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 1:15-16
1:15 So Naomi
said, “Look, your sister-in-law is returning to her people and to her god.
Follow your sister-in-law back home!”
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 2:8
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 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 1:20
1:20 But she replied
to them,
“Don’t call me ‘Naomi’!
Call me ‘Mara’
because the Sovereign One
has treated me very harshly.
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 3:3
3:3 So bathe yourself,
rub on some perfumed oil,
and get dressed up.
Then go down
to the threshing floor. But don’t let the man know you’re there until he finishes his meal.
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 3:14
3:14 So she slept beside him
until morning. She woke up while it was still dark.
Boaz thought,
“No one must know that a woman visited the threshing floor.”
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 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!
Ruth 1:13
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 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
to leave you alone.
When you are thirsty, you may go to
the water jars
and drink some of the water
the servants draw.”
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 4:11
4:11 All the people who were at the gate and the elders replied, “We are witnesses. May the
Lord make the woman who is entering your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel! May
you prosper
in Ephrathah and become famous
in Bethlehem.
