Ruth 2:4-23

2:4

And, behold, Boaz
<01162>

came
<0935> (8802)

from Bethlehem
<01035>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the reapers
<07114> (8802)_,

The LORD
<03068>

[be] with you. And they answered
<0559> (8799)

him, The LORD
<03068>

bless
<01288> (8762)

thee.

2:5

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Boaz
<01162>

unto his servant
<05288>

that was set
<05324> (8737)

over the reapers
<07114> (8802)_,

Whose damsel
<05291>

[is] this?

2:6

And the servant
<05288>

that was set
<05324> (8737)

over the reapers
<07114> (8802)

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] the Moabitish
<04125>

damsel
<05291>

that came back
<07725> (8804)

with Naomi
<05281>

out of the country
<07704>

of Moab
<04124>_:

2:7

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray you, let me glean
<03950> (8762)

and gather
<0622> (8804)

after
<0310>

the reapers
<07114> (8802)

among the sheaves
<06016>_:

so she came
<0935> (8799)_,

and hath continued
<05975> (8799)

even
<0227>

from the morning
<01242>

until now, that she tarried
<03427> (8800)

a little
<04592>

in the house
<01004>_.

2:8

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Boaz
<01162>

unto Ruth
<07327>_,

Hearest
<08085> (8804)

thou not, my daughter
<01323>_?

Go
<03212> (8799)

not to glean
<03950> (8800)

in another
<0312>

field
<07704>_,

neither go
<05674> (8799)

from hence, but abide
<01692> (8799)

here fast by my maidens
<05291>_:

2:9

[Let] thine eyes
<05869>

[be] on the field
<07704>

that they do reap
<07114> (8799)_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

thou after
<0310>

them: have I not charged
<06680> (8765)

the young men
<05288>

that they shall not touch
<05060> (8800)

thee? and when thou art athirst
<06770> (8804)_,

go
<01980> (8804)

unto the vessels
<03627>_,

and drink
<08354> (8804)

of [that] which the young men
<05288>

have drawn
<07579> (8799)_.

2:10

Then she fell
<05307> (8799)

on her face
<06440>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

herself to the ground
<0776>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why have I found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

that thou shouldest take knowledge
<05234> (8687)

of me, seeing I [am] a stranger
<05237>_?

2:11

And Boaz
<01162>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, It hath fully
<05046> (8715)

been shewed
<05046> (8717)

me, all that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto thy mother in law
<02545>

since
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of thine husband
<0376>_:

and [how] thou hast left
<05800> (8799)

thy father
<01>

and thy mother
<0517>_,

and the land
<0776>

of thy nativity
<04138>_,

and art come
<03212> (8799)

unto a people
<05971>

which thou knewest
<03045> (8804)

not heretofore
<08543> <08032>_.

2:12

The LORD
<03068>

recompense
<07999> (8762)

thy work
<06467>_,

and a full
<08003>

reward
<04909>

be given thee of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

under whose wings
<03671>

thou art come
<0935> (8804)

to trust
<02620> (8800)_.

2:13

Then she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me find
<04672> (8799)

favour
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

my lord
<0113>_;

for that thou hast comforted
<05162> (8765)

me, and for that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

friendly
<03820>

unto thine handmaid
<08198>_,

though I be not like unto one
<0259>

of thine handmaidens
<08198>_.

{Let me...: or, I find} {friendly: Heb. to the heart}

2:14

And Boaz
<01162>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, At mealtime
<06256> <0400>

come
<05066> (8798)

thou hither
<01988>_,

and eat
<0398> (8804)

of the bread
<03899>_,

and dip
<02881> (8804)

thy morsel
<06595>

in the vinegar
<02558>_.

And she sat
<03427> (8799)

beside
<06654>

the reapers
<07114> (8802)_:

and he reached
<06642> (8799)

her parched
<07039>

[corn], and she did eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and was sufficed
<07646> (8799)_,

and left
<03498> (8686)_.

2:15

And when she was risen up
<06965> (8799)

to glean
<03950> (8763)_,

Boaz
<01162>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

his young men
<05288>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let her glean
<03950> (8762)

even among the sheaves
<06016>_,

and reproach
<03637> (8686)

her not: {reproach...: Heb. shame her not}

2:16

And let fall
<07997> (8799)

also [some] of the handfuls
<06653>

of purpose
<07997> (8800)

for her, and leave
<05800> (8804)

[them], that she may glean
<03950> (8765)

[them], and rebuke
<01605> (8799)

her not.

2:17

So she gleaned
<03950> (8762)

in the field
<07704>

until even
<06153>_,

and beat out
<02251> (8799)

that she had gleaned
<03950> (8765)_:

and it was about an ephah
<0374>

of barley
<08184>_.

2:18

And she took [it] up
<05375> (8799)_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_:

and her mother in law
<02545>

saw
<07200> (8799)

what she had gleaned
<03950> (8765)_:

and she brought forth
<03318> (8686)_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

to her that she had reserved
<03498> (8689)

after she was sufficed
<07648>_.

2:19

And her mother in law
<02545>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Where hast thou gleaned
<03950> (8765)

to day
<03117>_?

and where
<0375>

wroughtest
<06213> (8804)

thou? blessed
<01288> (8803)

be he that did take knowledge
<05234> (8688)

of thee. And she shewed
<05046> (8686)

her mother in law
<02545>

with whom she had wrought
<06213> (8804)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The man's
<0376>

name
<08034>

with whom I wrought
<06213> (8804)

to day
<03117>

[is] Boaz
<01162>_.

2:20

And Naomi
<05281>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her daughter in law
<03618>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] he of the LORD
<03068>_,

who hath not left off
<05800> (8804)

his kindness
<02617>

to the living
<02416>

and to the dead
<04191> (8801)_.

And Naomi
<05281>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, The man
<0376>

[is] near of kin
<07138>

unto us, one of our next kinsmen
<01350> (8802)_.

{one of...: or, one that hath right to redeem}

2:21

And Ruth
<07327>

the Moabitess
<04125>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

He said
<0559> (8804)

unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast
<01692> (8799)

by my young men
<05288>_,

until they have ended
<03615> (8765)

all my harvest
<07105>_.

2:22

And Naomi
<05281>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ruth
<07327>

her daughter in law
<03618>_,

[It is] good
<02896>_,

my daughter
<01323>_,

that thou go out
<03318> (8799)

with his maidens
<05291>_,

that they meet
<06293> (8799)

thee not in any other
<0312>

field
<07704>_.

{meet...: or, fall upon thee}

2:23

So she kept fast
<01692> (8799)

by the maidens
<05291>

of Boaz
<01162>

to glean
<03950> (8763)

unto the end
<03615> (8800)

of barley
<08184>

harvest
<07105>

and of wheat
<02406>

harvest
<07105>_;

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

with her mother in law
<02545>_.
