Ruth 2:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ So Ruth^[a] gathered grain out in the field until dusk, and then threshed what she had gathered—about a week’s supply^[b] of barley. ¹⁸ She picked up her grain^[c] and went back to town.

Her mother-in-law noticed how much Ruth^[d] had gleaned and had brought back from what was left over from her lunch. ¹⁹ So her mother-in-law quizzed her, “Where did you glean today? Where, precisely, did you work? May the one who took notice of you be blessed.”

So Ruth told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
