Ruth 2:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ The young man answered, “She’s a young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. ⁷ She said, ‘Please let me gather grain. I will only gather among the bundles behind the reapers.’ So she came here and has been on her feet from daybreak until now. She just sat down this minute in the shelter.”

Boaz Speaks with Ruth

⁸ Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go in any other field to gather grain, and don’t even leave this one. Stay here with my young women.
