Ruth 2:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ And she said, ‘Please let me glean and let me gather among the sheaves behind the reapers.’ So she came and remained from the morning up to now. She is sitting for a little while in the house.”^[a]

⁸ And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully,^[b] my daughter, go no longer to glean in another field. Moreover, do not leave from this one, but stay close^[c] with my young women. ⁹ Keep your eyes on the field that they reap and go after them. Have I not ordered the servants not to bother you? And if you get thirsty, you shall go to the containers and drink from where the servants have drawn.”
