Ruth 2:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ “So much!” Naomi exclaimed. “Where in the world did you glean today? Praise the Lord for whoever was so kind to you.” So Ruth told her mother-in-law all about it and mentioned that the owner of the field was Boaz.

²⁰ “Praise the Lord for a man like that! God has continued his kindness to us as well as to your dead husband!” Naomi cried excitedly. “Why, that man is one of our closest relatives!”^[a]

²¹ “Well,” Ruth told her, “he said to come back and stay close behind his reapers until the entire field is harvested.”
