Ruth 2:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ The servant who was in charge of the reapers answered, “She is the Moabite who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. ⁷ She said, ‘Please, let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she has been on her feet from early this morning until now, without resting even for a moment.”^[a]

⁸ Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Now listen, my daughter, do not go to glean in another field or leave this one, but keep close to my young women.
