Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, the Lord be with you, the Lord bless you, the Lord bless you, Boaz asked the Foreman of the harvesters who that girl was.
it is the Moabite girl who returned with Naomi from the Fields of Moab she asked me to let her glean and gather grain among the sheaves after the reapers she arrived early and is on her feet until now except for a brief rest in the shelter then Boaz said to Ruth listen My daughter, don't go gleaning in another field or move away from here, stay close to my servants, pay attention to where the men are, seif and follow my servants, I have already ordered the boys not to touch you and whenever you are thirsty, go to the pots and drink from the water that the boys took Ruth fell face to the ground and asked why I found favor in your eyes to the point that you noticed a good foreigner replied I was informed of everything you did for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband how you left your father and your mother and your homeland and came to a people you did not know before May the Lord repay you for what you have done and may you be richly rewarded by the Lord the God of Israel whose wings you came to seek Refuge may I continue to find favor with the your eyes my Lord you comforted me and spoke kindly to your servant although I am not even one of your servants at meal time Boaz said to Ruth come here eat some bread and dip it in the vinegar when she sat with the reapers he offered her roasted grain she ate until she was satisfied And there was still left after she got up to go gleaning again Boaz gave orders to his men let her gather even among the sheaves and don't reprimand her pluck some ears of grain from the sheaves and leave them. fall in so that she catches them and does not scold her like that rut glean in the field until evening then she threshed the barley she had harvested and filled a large quantity of grain she carried the grain back to the city and showed her mother-in-law how much she had harvested Ruth too gave Naomi what was left of the meal and Naomi asked where did you glean today where did you work blessed be the man who took an interest in you then Ruth told her mother-in-law about good Ruth continued to glean in her field until the end of the harvest Naomi then told her gave her advice to approach Boaz and ask him to fulfill his duty as a rescuer Ruth followed Naomi's plan and went to the place where Boaz slept after eating and drinking she lay down at his feet and waited for him to wake up when Boaz noticed that there was a woman at his feet he asked who are you I am Ruth your servant spread your cloak over your servant for you are a rescuer Boaz was impressed by Ruth's kindness and faithfulness and said may the Lord bless you my daughter This kindness of yours is greater than the first because you didn't go after the younger rich or poor now my daughter don't be afraid I will do for you everything you ask of me all my fellow citizens know that you are a virtuous woman It's true that I I am a rescuer but there is another who is closer than me stay here tonight and in the morning if he wants to rescue her let him do it but if he doesn't want to I swear to the Lord that I will rescue her now lie down until morning like this she stayed at her feet until morning but got up before she could be recognized Boaz said let it not be known that a woman came to the threshing floor bring me the cloak that is on you and hold it when she assured him he put six measures of barley in it and placed it on shoulders so he returned to the city when R arrived at his mother-in-law's house Naomi asked how my daughter was he gave me these six measures of barley saying don't go back to your mother-in-law empty handed wait my daughter until you know what will happen Well that man will not rest until the matter is resolved today Boaz went to the city gate and sat there when he saw the rescuer passing by he said come here my friend and sit here and he went and sat down so Boaz gathered 10 leaders of the city and Naomi said to them, who returned from Moab, and is selling the part of the field that belonged to our brother Elimelec. I thought I should inform him of this and tell him that in front of those sitting here and in front of the leaders of my people, if he wants to redeem the field, do it but if you don't want to tell me so I know because there is no one other than you who has the right to redeem you and I am next after you I will redeem you on the day I buy the field from Naomi you He will also have to marry Ruth, the Moabite widow of one of Naomi's sons , in order to keep the name of the deceased linked to his property.
In this case, I will not be able to redeem him as it would harm my own inheritance. Redeem yourself, I will give up my right of redemption you are witnesses that today I bought from Naomi everything that belonged to Elimelech, Aquilion and Malon I also acquired Ruth the Moabite widow of Malon as my wife in order to keep the name of the Deceased linked to his inheritance so that his name does not disappear from among your relatives and from your hometown you are witnesses of this today we are witnesses that the Lord will make the woman who enters your house be like Rachel and Leah who together built the nation of Israel be you Mighty in ephrath and gain Fame in Bethlehem through the children that the Lord will give him for this young woman that her family will be like that of Perz son of Tamar and Judah so Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife when he was united to her the Lord He allowed her to become pregnant and she gave birth to a son. The women said to Naomi.
Praise be to the Lord who has not left her without a rescuer. Let his name be famous in Israel. He will restore her life and give her support in her life .
