Ruth 2:1-3

The Voice

2 Now Naomi’s deceased husband, Elimelech, had a relative in Bethlehem, an honorable, wealthy man named Boaz. ² One day Ruth (the foreign woman who returned with Naomi from Moab) approached Naomi with a request.

³ Ruth left and went into the fields to pick up the gleanings, the grain that had been left behind by the harvesters. And so it was that the portion of the field she was working in belonged to Boaz, who was a part of Elimelech’s family.
