In context
18 And she took it up, and came into the city, and, when her mother-in-law had seen what she had gleaned, she brought forth and gave her what had been left remaining, after that she was satisfied.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her—In what place hast thou gleaned, today? and where hast thou wrought? May he that took notice of thee, be blessed! So she told her mother-in-law, with whom she had wrought, and said—The name of the man with whom I wrought today, is Boaz.
20 Then said Naomi, to her daughter-in-law—Blessed, be he of Yahweh, who hath not left off his lovingkindness to the living, and to the dead. And Naomi said to her—Near to us, is the man, of our own kinsmen, is he!
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said,—Yea for he said unto me—By my young men, shalt thou keep fast, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law,—Good, is it, my daughter, that thou go forth with his maidens, and that they meet thee not, in any other field.
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean, until the end of the barley harvest, and the wheat harvest,—and dwelt with her mother-in-law.
