Ruth

13 “Sir,” she said, “I hope to find favor in your eyes, for you give me solace. For you have spoken to your servant's heart, though 1 am not like your servants.” 14 When the time came for eating, Boaz said to her, “Come here, eat of this food, and dip your bread in the vinegar.” She sat down beside the harvestmen and he 15 served her roasted grains, and she ate, and had her fill, and more left over. And when she stood up to begin gleaning again, Boaz instructed his workers, “Let her 16 glean among the sheaves as well, do not disgrace her. And drop some ears from the bunches as well; leave them, let her glean them and do not reproach her.” 17 Ruth carried on gleaning in the field until evening and then threshed what 18 she had gleaned; it was almost an ephah of barley. She picked it up and came into the city; her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she produced all that was left beyond her fill, and gave it to her. 19 “Where did you gather today,” she asked, “where were you? Bless whoever gave you this recognition.” So Ruth told her mother-in-law under whose patronage 20 she had worked: “The man’s name is Boaz, with whom I worked today.” Said Naomi to her daughter-in-law, “The Lorp bless him; for he has not left behind his kindness for the living or the dead —” and Naomi told her, “The man is our relative; one of our redeemers.” 21 “He said to me, as well,” said Ruth the Moabitess: “Cling by my young men, 22 until they finish all my harvest,” and Naomi told her daughter-in-law Ruth, “That is well, my daughter. Go out with his young women; do not go and come to harm in other fields.” 23 And so it was that she clung by Boaz’s young women to glean, until the barley harvest was over, and then the wheat; and after that she sat at home with her mother-in-law. 31 One day her mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “Daughter, do I not wish I 2 could find you a resting place that would be good for you? Now there is Boaz, our relative, whose young women you were with - and he will be doing his 3 winnowing in the barley shed tonight. And you are going to wash yourself and anoint yourself and put on your dress, and go down to that shed. Do not let the man know that you are there until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 And when he lies down, take note of the place where he lies, and afterwards go | there, uncover his feet and lie down also - and he will tell you what to do next” 5 15 1 1 1 35 3 98 1974 70 29 94.293152 shall5 1 1 1 35 4 178 1974 57 36 94.293152 do,”5 1 1 1 35 5 245 1975 61 29 96.089096 said5 1 1 1 35 6 315 1975 83 36 96.889412 Ruth,5 1 1 1 35 7 408 1976 48 29 96.764847 “all5 1 1 1 35 8 465 1976 62 29 96.939117 that5 1 1 1 35 9 536 1987 58 28 96.616837 you5 1 1 1 35 10 604 1977 45 29 93.747627 tell5 1 1 1 35 11 658 1988 45 18 96.828743 me5 1 1 1 35 12 713 1984 29 22 96.474068 to5 1 1 1 35 13 753 1978 57 29 96.116776 do.”5 1 1 1 35 14 1460 1977 4 46 96.334801 |4 1 1 1 36 0 37 2031 1428 43 -1 5 1 1 1 36 1 37 2037 12 19 37.178642 65 1 1 1 36 2 75 2031 54 29 43.662018 She5 1 1 1 36 3 135 2038 76 23 43.662018 went5 1 1 1 36 4 219 2032 85 29 95.728172 down5 1 1 1 36 5 311 2039 29 23 95.728172 to5 1 1 1 36 6 348 2033 46 29 94.622032 the5 1 1 1 36 7 402 2033 71 30 94.622032 shed5 1 1 1 36 8 481 2034 57 29 96.927475 and5 1 1 1 36 9 546 2034 49 29 96.834953 did5 1 1 1 36 10 602 2035 102 39 96.628052 exactly5 1 1 1 36 11 710 2046 28 18 96.469826 as5 1 1 1 36 12 745 2035 51 30 96.469826 her5 1 1 1 36 13 803 2036 215 30 96.745781 mother-in-law5 1 1 1 36 14 1023 2037 56 30 96.756714 had5 1 1 1 36 15 1086 2039 156 29 96.179161 instructed5 1 1 1 36 16 1460 2036 4 47 96.393677 |4 1 1 1 37 0 37 2081 1203 47 -1 5 1 1 1 37 1 37 2087 12 19 61.726215 75 1 1 1 37 2 76 2081 55 29 61.726215 her.5 1 1 1 37 3 140 2083 75 28 76.475952 Boaz5 1 1 1 37 4 223 2088 50 29 76.475952 ate,5 1 1 1 37 5 282 2082 56 29 96.783867 and5 1 1 1 37 6 345 2082 95 36 96.622002 drank,5 1 1 1 37 7 449 2083 58 30 95.826378 and5 1 1 1 37 8 513 2095 59 18 95.826378 was5 1 1 1 37 9 579 2084 95 39 96.752823 happy,5 1 1 1 37 10 683 2085 55 29 95.991096 and5 1 1 1 37 11 745 2085 37 29 95.991096 he5 1 1 1 37 12 788 2092 79 23 95.785202 went5 1 1 1 37 13 875 2086 56 29 95.526085 and5 1 1 1 37 14 937 2086 42 39 95.346458 lay5 1 1 1 37 15 985 2086 85 30 96.736443 down5 1 1 1 37 16 1078 2093 28 23 96.736443 at5 1 1 1 37 17 1113 2087 50 30 96.628609 the5 1 1 1 37 18 1172 2088 68 40 95.783669 edge4 1 1 1 38 0 76 2130 1165 44 -1 5 1 1 1 38 1 76 2130 34 29 95.724754 of5 1 1 1 38 2 112 2130 49 29 95.724754 the5 1 1 1 38 3 169 2131 73 38 96.771896 heap5 1 1 1 38 4 251 2131 34 29 96.925842 of5 1 1 1 38 5 288 2135 85 36 96.775787 grain;5 1 1 1 38 6 383 2132 56 29 96.886444 and5 1 1 1 38 7 446 2133 72 29 96.680107 then5 1 1 1 38 8 526 2133 51 29 96.680107 she5 1 1 1 38 9 586 2144 78 19 96.194321 came5 1 1 1 38 10 671 2140 29 23 96.194321 to5 1 1 1 38 11 708 2134 60 29 96.779198 him5 1 1 1 38 12 776 2135 118 39 96.161522 silently,5 1 1 1 38 13 902 2136 157 29 94.725327 uncovered5 1 1 1 38 14 1066 2136 46 29 94.725327 his5 1 1 1 38 15 1120 2136 59 30 93.935478 feet5 1 1 1 38 16 1186 2137 55 29 96.810768 and4 1 1 1 39 0 75 2180 259 38 -1 5 1 1 1 39 1 75 2180 45 38 96.551125 lay5 1 1 1 39 2 126 2180 110 29 96.551125 herself5 1 1 1 39 3 240 2181 94 29 96.063919 down.
