1
H5281
And Naomi
H4129 H3045 [H8675]
had a kinsman
H376
of her husband's
H1368
, a mighty
H376
man
H2428
of wealth
H4940
, of the family
H458
of Elimelech
H8034
; and his name
H1162
was Boaz.
2
H7327
And Ruth
H4125
the Moabitess
H559 [H8799]
said
H5281
to Naomi
H3212 [H8799]
, Let me now go
H7704
to the field
H3950 [H8762]
, and glean
H7641
ears of grain
H310
after
H5869
him in whose sight
H4672 [H8799]
I shall find
H2580
grace
H559 [H8799]
. And she said
H3212 [H8798]
to her, Go
H1323
, my daughter.
3
H3212 [H8799]
And she went
H935 [H8799]
, and came
H3950 [H8762]
, and gleaned
H7704
in the field
H310
after
H7114 [H8802]
the reapers
H4745
: and she happened
H7136 [H8799]
to come
H2513
to a part
H7704
of the field
H1162
belonging to Boaz
H4940
, who was of the kindred
H458
of Elimelech.
4
H1162
And, behold, Boaz
H935 [H8802]
came
H1035
from Bethlehem
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H7114 [H8802]
to the reapers
H3068
, The LORD
H559 [H8799]
be with you. And they answered
H3068
him, The LORD
H1288 [H8762]
bless thee.
5
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H1162
Boaz
H5288
to his servant
H5324 [H8737]
that was set
H7114 [H8802]
over the reapers
H5291
, Whose damsel is this?
6
H5288
And the servant
H5324 [H8737]
that was set
H7114 [H8802]
over the reapers
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H4125
, It is the Moabitish
H5291
damsel
H7725 [H8804]
that came back
H5281
with Naomi
H7704
from the country
H4124
of Moab:
7
H559 [H8799]
And she said
H3950 [H8762]
, I pray you, let me glean
H622 [H8804]
and gather
H310
after
H7114 [H8802]
the reapers
H6016
among the sheaves
H935 [H8799]
: so she came
H5975 [H8799]
, and hath continued
H227
even
H1242
from the morning
H3427 [H8800]
until now, that she tarried
H4592
a little
H1004
in the house.
8
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H1162
Boaz
H7327
to Ruth
H8085 [H8804]
, Hearest
H1323
thou not, my daughter
H3212 [H8799]
? Go
H3950 [H8800]
not to glean
H312
in another
H7704
field
H5674 [H8799]
, neither go
H1692 [H8799]
from here, but abide
H5291
here close by my maidens:
9
H5869
Let thy eyes
H7704
be on the field
H7114 [H8799]
that they are reaping
H1980 [H8804]
, and go
H310
thou after
H6680 [H8765]
them: have I not charged
H5288
the young men
H5060 [H8800]
that they shall not touch
H6770 [H8804]
thee? and when thou art thirsty
H1980 [H8804]
, go
H3627
to the vessels
H8354 [H8804]
, and drink
H5288
of that which the young men
H7579 [H8799]
have drawn.
10
H5307 [H8799]
Then she fell
H6440
on her face
H7812 [H8691]
, and bowed
H776
herself to the ground
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H4672 [H8804]
to him, Why have I found
H2580
grace
H5869
in thy eyes
H5234 [H8687]
, that thou shouldest take knowledge
H5237
of me, seeing I am a stranger?
11
H1162
And Boaz
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H5046 [H8715]
to her, It hath fully
H5046 [H8717]
been shown
H6213 [H8804]
to me, all that thou hast done
H2545
to thy mother in law
H310
since
H4194
the death
H376
of thy husband
H5800 [H8799]
: and how thou hast left
H1
thy father
H517
and thy mother
H776
, and the land
H4138
of thy nativity
H3212 [H8799]
, and hast come
H5971
to a people
H3045 [H8804]
which thou knewest
H8543 H8032
not before.
12
H3068
The LORD
H7999 [H8762]
recompense
H6467
thy work
H8003
, and a full
H4909
reward
H3068
be given thee of the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3671
, under whose wings
H935 [H8804]
thou hast come
H2620 [H8800]
to trust.
13
H559 [H8799]
Then she said
H4672 [H8799]
, Let me find
H2580
favour
H5869
in thy sight
H113
, my lord
H5162 [H8765]
; for that thou hast comforted
H1696 [H8765]
me, and for that thou hast spoken
H3820
kindly
H8198
to thy handmaid
H259
, though I am not like one
H8198
of thy handmaidens.
14
H1162
And Boaz
H559 [H8799]
said
H6256 H400
to her, At mealtime
H5066 [H8798]
come
H1988
thou here
H398 [H8804]
, and eat
H3899
of the bread
H2881 [H8804]
, and dip
H6595
thy morsel
H2558
in the vinegar
H3427 [H8799]
. And she sat
H6654
beside
H7114 [H8802]
the reapers
H6642 [H8799]
: and he reached
H7039
for her roasted
H398 [H8799]
grain, and she ate
H7646 [H8799]
, and was satisfied
H3498 [H8686]
, and left.
15
H6965 [H8799]
And when she had risen
H3950 [H8763]
to glean
H1162
, Boaz
H6680 [H8762]
commanded
H5288
his young men
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H3950 [H8762]
, Let her glean
H6016
even among the sheaves
H3637 [H8686]
, and reproach her not:
16
H7997 [H8799]
And let fall
H6653
also some of the handfuls
H7997 [H8800]
of purpose
H5800 [H8804]
for her, and leave
H3950 [H8765]
them, that she may glean
H1605 [H8799]
them, and rebuke her not.
17
H3950 [H8762]
So she gleaned
H7704
in the field
H6153
until evening
H2251 [H8799]
, and beat out
H3950 [H8765]
that which she had gleaned
H374
: and it was about an ephah
H8184
of barley.
18
H5375 [H8799]
And she took it up
H935 [H8799]
, and went
H5892
into the city
H2545
: and her mother in law
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H3950 [H8765]
what she had gleaned
H3318 [H8686]
: and she brought out
H5414 [H8799]
, and gave
H3498 [H8689]
to her what she had reserved
H7648
after she was satisfied.
19
H2545
And her mother in law
H559 [H8799]
said
H3950 [H8765]
to her, Where hast thou gleaned
H3117
to day
H375
? and where
H6213 [H8804]
hast thou laboured
H1288 [H8803]
? blessed
H5234 [H8688]
be he that took knowledge
H5046 [H8686]
of thee. And she showed
H2545
her mother in law
H6213 [H8804]
with whom she had wrought
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H376
, The man's
H8034
name
H6213 [H8804]
with whom I wrought
H3117
to day
H1162
is Boaz.
20
H5281
And Naomi
H559 [H8799]
said
H3618
to her daughter in law
H1288 [H8803]
, Blessed
H3068
be he of the LORD
H5800 [H8804]
, who hath not withheld
H2617
his kindness
H2416
to the living
H4191 [H8801]
and to the dead
H5281
. And Naomi
H559 [H8799]
said
H376
to her, The man
H7138
is near of kin
H1350 [H8802]
to us, one of our next kinsmen.
21
H7327
And Ruth
H4125
the Moabitess
H559 [H8799]
said
H559 [H8804]
, He said
H1692 [H8799]
to me also, Thou shalt keep close
H5288
by my young men
H3615 [H8765]
, until they have ended
H7105
all my harvest.
