Ruth 2:1-3

Ruth Gleans in Boaz’ Field

Now Naomi had ¹a kinsman of her husband, a ²mighty man of excellence, of the family of ^aElimelech, whose name was Boaz. 2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field and ^aglean among the ears of grain after one whom I may find favor in his eyes.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” 3 So she went. And she came and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And ¹it so happened that she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
