Ruth 2:1-3

Living Bible

2 Now Naomi had an in-law there in Bethlehem who was a very wealthy man. His name was Boaz.

² One day Ruth said to Naomi, “Perhaps I can go out into the fields of some kind man to glean the free grain^[a] behind his reapers.”

And Naomi said, “All right, dear daughter. Go ahead.”

³ So she did. And as it happened, the field where she found herself belonged to Boaz, this relative of Naomi’s husband.
