In context
3 And she goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the reapers, and her chance happeneth--the portion of the field is Boaz's who is of the family of Elimelech.
4 And lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the reapers, `Jehovah is with you;' and they say to him, `Jehovah doth bless thee.'
5 And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, `Whose is this young person?'
6 And the young man who is set over the reapers answereth and saith, `A young woman--Moabitess--she is, who came back with Naomi from the fields of Moab,
7 and she saith, Let me glean, I pray thee--and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she cometh and remaineth since the morning and till now; she sat in the house a little.
8 And Boaz saith unto Ruth, `Hast thou not heard, my daughter? go not to glean in another field, and also, pass not over from this, and thus thou dost cleave to my young women:
9 thine eyes are on the field which they reap, and thou hast gone after them; have not I charged the young men not to touch thee? when thou art athirst then thou hast gone unto the vessels, and hast drunk from that which the young men draw.'
