1 Ruth gleaneth in the fields of Boaz. 4 Boaz taking knowledge of her, 8 sheweth her great favour. 18 That which she got, she carrieth to Naomi.

2:1 ¶ And Naomi 5281 had a kinsman 4129 z8675 y3045 z8794 of her husband's, 376 a mighty 1368 man 376 of wealth, 2428 of the family 4940 x4480 of Elimelech; 458 and his name 8034 [was] Boaz. 1162

2:2 And Ruth 7327 the Moabitess 4125 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Naomi, 5281 Let me now x4994 go y3212 z8799 x1980 to the field, 7704 and glean 3950 z8762 ears of corn 7641 after 310 x834 [him] in whose sight 5869 I shall find 4672 z8799 grace. 2580 And she said 559 z8799 unto her, Go, y3212 z8798 x1980 my daughter. 1323

2:3 And she went, y3212 z8799 x1980 and came, 935 z8799 and gleaned 3950 z8762 in the field 7704 after 310 the reapers: 7114 z8802 and her hap 4745 was to light 7136 z8799 on a part 2513 of the field 7704 [belonging] unto Boaz, 1162 who x834 [was] of the kindred 4940 x4480 of Elimelech. 458

2:4 ¶ And, behold, x2009 Boaz 1162 came 935 z8802 from Bethlehem, 1035 x4480 and said 559 z8799 unto the reapers, 7114 z8802 The LORD 3068 [be] with x5973 you. And they answered 559 z8799 him, The LORD 3068 bless 1288 z8762 thee.

2:5 Then said 559 z8799 Boaz 1162 unto his servant 5288 that was set 5324 z8737 over x5921 the reapers, 7114 z8802 Whose x4310 damsel 5291 [is] this? x2063

2:6 And the servant 5288 that was set 5324 z8737 over x5921 the reapers 7114 z8802 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 It x1931 [is] the Moabitish 4125 damsel 5291 that came back 7725 z8804 with x5973 Naomi 5281 out of the country 7704 x4480 of Moab: 4124

2:7 And she said, 559 z8799 I pray x4994 you, let me glean 3950 z8762 and gather 622 z8804 after 310 the reapers 7114 z8802 among the sheaves: 6016 so she came, 935 z8799 and hath continued 5975 z8799 even y227 from x4480 x227 the morning 1242 until x5704 now, x6258 that x2088 she tarried 3427 z8800 a little 4592 in the house. 1004

2:8 Then said 559 z8799 Boaz 1162 unto x413 Ruth, 7327 Hearest 8085 z8804 thou not, x3808 my daughter? 1323 Go y3212 z8799 x1980 not x408 to glean 3950 z8800 in another 312 field, 7704 neither x1571 x3808 go 5674 z8799 from hence, x4480 x2088 but x3541 abide 1692 z8799 here fast by x5973 my maidens: 5291

2:9 [Let] thine eyes 5869 [be] on the field 7704 that x834 they do reap, 7114 z8799 and go 1980 z8804 thou after 310 them: have I not x3808 charged 6680 z8765 x853 the young men 5288 that they shall not x1115 touch 5060 z8800 thee? and when thou art athirst, 6770 z8804 go 1980 z8804 unto x413 the vessels, 3627 and drink 8354 z8804 of [that] which x4480 x834 the young men 5288 have drawn. 7579 z8799

2:10 Then she fell 5307 z8799 on x5921 her face, 6440 and bowed y7812 z8691 herself x7812 to the ground, 776 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Why x4069 have I found 4672 z8804 grace 2580 in thine eyes, 5869 that thou shouldest take knowledge 5234 z8687 of me, seeing I x595 [am] a stranger? 5237

2:11 And Boaz 1162 answered 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 unto her, It hath fully 5046 z8715 been shewed 5046 z8717 me, all x3605 that x834 thou hast done 6213 z8804 unto x853 thy mother in law 2545 since 310 the death 4194 of thine husband: 376 and [how] thou hast left 5800 z8799 thy father 1 and thy mother, 517 and the land 776 of thy nativity, 4138 and art come y3212 z8799 x1980 unto x413 a people 5971 which x834 thou knewest 3045 z8804 not x3808 heretofore. 8543 8032

2:12 The LORD 3068 recompense 7999 z8762 thy work, 6467 and a full 8003 reward 4909 be given x1961 thee of x4480 x5973 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 under x8478 whose x834 wings 3671 thou art come 935 z8804 to trust. 2620 z8800

2:13 Then she said, 559 z8799 Let me find 4672 z8799 favour 2580 in thy sight, 5869 my lord; 113 for x3588 that thou hast comforted 5162 z8765 me, and for that x3588 thou hast spoken 1696 z8765 friendly 3820 x5921 unto thine handmaid, 8198 though I x595 be x1961 not x3808 like unto one 259 of thine handmaidens. 8198

2:14 And Boaz 1162 said 559 z8799 unto her, At mealtime 6256 400 come 5066 z8798 thou hither, 1988 and eat 398 z8804 of x4480 the bread, 3899 and dip 2881 z8804 thy morsel 6595 in the vinegar. 2558 And she sat 3427 z8799 beside 6654 x4480 the reapers: 7114 z8802 and he reached 6642 z8799 her parched 7039 [corn], and she did eat, 398 z8799 and was sufficed, 7646 z8799 and left. 3498 z8686

2:15 And when she was risen up 6965 z8799 to glean, 3950 z8763 Boaz 1162 commanded 6680 z8762 x853 his young men, 5288 saying, 559 z8800 Let her glean 3950 z8762 even x1571 among x996 the sheaves, 6016 and reproach 3637 z8686 her not: x3808

2:16 And let fall 7997 z8799 also x1571 [some] of x4480 the handfuls 6653 of purpose 7997 z8800 for her, and leave 5800 z8804 [them], that she may glean 3950 z8765 [them], and rebuke 1605 z8799 her not. x3808

2:17 So she gleaned 3950 z8762 in the field 7704 until x5704 even, 6153 and beat out 2251 z8799 x853 that x834 she had gleaned: 3950 z8765 and it was x1961 about an ephah 374 of barley. 8184

2:18 ¶ And she took [it] up, 5375 z8799 and went 935 z8799 into the city: 5892 and her mother in law 2545 saw 7200 z8799 x853 what x834 she had gleaned: 3950 z8765 and she brought forth, 3318 z8686 and gave 5414 z8799 to her x853 that x834 she had reserved 3498 z8689 after she was sufficed. 7648 x4480

2:19 And her mother in law 2545 said 559 z8799 unto her, Where x375 hast thou gleaned 3950 z8765 to day? 3117 and where 375 wroughtest 6213 z8804 thou? blessed 1288 z8803 be x1961 he that did take knowledge 5234 z8688 of thee. And she shewed 5046 z8686 her mother in law 2545 x853 with x5973 whom x834 she had wrought, 6213 z8804 and said, 559 z8799 The man's 376 name 8034 with x5973 whom x834 I wrought 6213 z8804 to day 3117 [is] Boaz. 1162

2:20 And Naomi 5281 said 559 z8799 unto her daughter in law, 3618 Blessed 1288 z8803 [be] he x1931 of the LORD, 3068 who x834 hath not x3808 left off 5800 z8804 his kindness 2617 to x854 the living 2416 and to x854 the dead. 4191 z8801 And Naomi 5281 said 559 z8799 unto her, The man 376 [is] near of kin 7138 unto us, one x1931 of our next kinsmen. 1350 z8802 x4480

2:21 And Ruth 7327 the Moabitess 4125 said, 559 z8799 He said 559 z8804 unto x413 me also, x1571 Thou shalt keep fast 1692 z8799 by x5973 my x834 young men, 5288 until x5704 x518 they have ended 3615 z8765 x853 all x3605 my x834 harvest. 7105

2:22 And Naomi 5281 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Ruth 7327 her daughter in law, 3618 [It is] good, 2896 my daughter, 1323 that x3588 thou go out 3318 z8799 with x5973 his maidens, 5291 that they meet 6293 z8799 thee not x3808 in any other 312 field. 7704

2:23 So she kept fast 1692 z8799 by the maidens 5291 of Boaz 1162 to glean 3950 z8763 unto x5704 the end 3615 z8800 of barley 8184 harvest 7105 and of wheat 2406 harvest; 7105 and dwelt 3427 z8799 with x854 her mother in law. 2545
