Ruth 2:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

2 Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.

² And Ruth the Moabitess said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.

³ She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
