Dual Panel1And Naomi <05281> had a kinsman <04129> (8675) <03045> (8794) of her husband's <0376>_, a mighty <01368> man <0376> of wealth <02428>_, of the family <04940> of Elimelech <0458>_; and his name <08034> [was] Boaz <01162>_. {Boaz: Gr. Booz}
2And Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125> said <0559> (8799) unto Naomi <05281>_, Let me now go <03212> (8799) to the field <07704>_, and glean <03950> (8762) ears of corn <07641> after <0310> [him] in whose sight <05869> I shall find <04672> (8799) grace <02580>_. And she said <0559> (8799) unto her, Go <03212> (8798)_, my daughter <01323>_.
3And she went <03212> (8799)_, and came <0935> (8799)_, and gleaned <03950> (8762) in the field <07704> after <0310> the reapers <07114> (8802)_: and her hap <04745> was to light <07136> (8799) on a part <02513> of the field <07704> [belonging] unto Boaz <01162>_, who [was] of the kindred <04940> of Elimelech <0458>_. {hap...: Heb. hap happened}
4And, behold, Boaz <01162> came <0935> (8802) from Bethlehem <01035>_, and said <0559> (8799) unto the reapers <07114> (8802)_, The LORD <03068> [be] with you. And they answered <0559> (8799) him, The LORD <03068> bless <01288> (8762) thee.
5Then said <0559> (8799) Boaz <01162> unto his servant <05288> that was set <05324> (8737) over the reapers <07114> (8802)_, Whose damsel <05291> [is] this?
6And the servant <05288> that was set <05324> (8737) over the reapers <07114> (8802) answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799)_, It [is] the Moabitish <04125> damsel <05291> that came back <07725> (8804) with Naomi <05281> out of the country <07704> of Moab <04124>_:
7And she said <0559> (8799)_, I pray you, let me glean <03950> (8762) and gather <0622> (8804) after <0310> the reapers <07114> (8802) among the sheaves <06016>_: so she came <0935> (8799)_, and hath continued <05975> (8799) even <0227> from the morning <01242> until now, that she tarried <03427> (8800) a little <04592> in the house <01004>_.
8Then said <0559> (8799) Boaz <01162> unto Ruth <07327>_, Hearest <08085> (8804) thou not, my daughter <01323>_? Go <03212> (8799) not to glean <03950> (8800) in another <0312> field <07704>_, neither go <05674> (8799) from hence, but abide <01692> (8799) here fast by my maidens <05291>_:
9[Let] thine eyes <05869> [be] on the field <07704> that they do reap <07114> (8799)_, and go <01980> (8804) thou after <0310> them: have I not charged <06680> (8765) the young men <05288> that they shall not touch <05060> (8800) thee? and when thou art athirst <06770> (8804)_, go <01980> (8804) unto the vessels <03627>_, and drink <08354> (8804) of [that] which the young men <05288> have drawn <07579> (8799)_.
10Then she fell <05307> (8799) on her face <06440>_, and bowed <07812> (8691) herself to the ground <0776>_, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Why have I found <04672> (8804) grace <02580> in thine eyes <05869>_, that thou shouldest take knowledge <05234> (8687) of me, seeing I [am] a stranger <05237>_?
11And Boaz <01162> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto her, It hath fully <05046> (8715) been shewed <05046> (8717) me, all that thou hast done <06213> (8804) unto thy mother in law <02545> since <0310> the death <04194> of thine husband <0376>_: and [how] thou hast left <05800> (8799) thy father <01> and thy mother <0517>_, and the land <0776> of thy nativity <04138>_, and art come <03212> (8799) unto a people <05971> which thou knewest <03045> (8804) not heretofore <08543> <08032>_.
12The LORD <03068> recompense <07999> (8762) thy work <06467>_, and a full <08003> reward <04909> be given thee of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>_, under whose wings <03671> thou art come <0935> (8804) to trust <02620> (8800)_.
13Then she said <0559> (8799)_, Let me find <04672> (8799) favour <02580> in thy sight <05869>_, my lord <0113>_; for that thou hast comforted <05162> (8765) me, and for that thou hast spoken <01696> (8765) friendly <03820> unto thine handmaid <08198>_, though I be not like unto one <0259> of thine handmaidens <08198>_. {Let me...: or, I find} {friendly: Heb. to the heart}
14And Boaz <01162> said <0559> (8799) unto her, At mealtime <06256> <0400> come <05066> (8798) thou hither <01988>_, and eat <0398> (8804) of the bread <03899>_, and dip <02881> (8804) thy morsel <06595> in the vinegar <02558>_. And she sat <03427> (8799) beside <06654> the reapers <07114> (8802)_: and he reached <06642> (8799) her parched <07039> [corn], and she did eat <0398> (8799)_, and was sufficed <07646> (8799)_, and left <03498> (8686)_.
15And when she was risen up <06965> (8799) to glean <03950> (8763)_, Boaz <01162> commanded <06680> (8762) his young men <05288>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Let her glean <03950> (8762) even among the sheaves <06016>_, and reproach <03637> (8686) her not: {reproach...: Heb. shame her not}
16And let fall <07997> (8799) also [some] of the handfuls <06653> of purpose <07997> (8800) for her, and leave <05800> (8804) [them], that she may glean <03950> (8765) [them], and rebuke <01605> (8799) her not.
17So she gleaned <03950> (8762) in the field <07704> until even <06153>_, and beat out <02251> (8799) that she had gleaned <03950> (8765)_: and it was about an ephah <0374> of barley <08184>_.
18And she took [it] up <05375> (8799)_, and went <0935> (8799) into the city <05892>_: and her mother in law <02545> saw <07200> (8799) what she had gleaned <03950> (8765)_: and she brought forth <03318> (8686)_, and gave <05414> (8799) to her that she had reserved <03498> (8689) after she was sufficed <07648>_.
19And her mother in law <02545> said <0559> (8799) unto her, Where hast thou gleaned <03950> (8765) to day <03117>_? and where <0375> wroughtest <06213> (8804) thou? blessed <01288> (8803) be he that did take knowledge <05234> (8688) of thee. And she shewed <05046> (8686) her mother in law <02545> with whom she had wrought <06213> (8804)_, and said <0559> (8799)_, The man's <0376> name <08034> with whom I wrought <06213> (8804) to day <03117> [is] Boaz <01162>_.
20And Naomi <05281> said <0559> (8799) unto her daughter in law <03618>_, Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] he of the LORD <03068>_, who hath not left off <05800> (8804) his kindness <02617> to the living <02416> and to the dead <04191> (8801)_. And Naomi <05281> said <0559> (8799) unto her, The man <0376> [is] near of kin <07138> unto us, one of our next kinsmen <01350> (8802)_. {one of...: or, one that hath right to redeem}
21And Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125> said <0559> (8799)_, He said <0559> (8804) unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast <01692> (8799) by my young men <05288>_, until they have ended <03615> (8765) all my harvest <07105>_.
22And Naomi <05281> said <0559> (8799) unto Ruth <07327> her daughter in law <03618>_, [It is] good <02896>_, my daughter <01323>_, that thou go out <03318> (8799) with his maidens <05291>_, that they meet <06293> (8799) thee not in any other <0312> field <07704>_. {meet...: or, fall upon thee}
23So she kept fast <01692> (8799) by the maidens <05291> of Boaz <01162> to glean <03950> (8763) unto the end <03615> (8800) of barley <08184> harvest <07105> and of wheat <02406> harvest <07105>_; and dwelt <03427> (8799) with her mother in law <02545>_.
