Ruth 2:17-19

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ So Ruth gathered corn in the field until evening. She beat out what she had gathered, and it was about twenty litres^[a] of barley. ¹⁸ She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She brought out what she had left over from her meal and gave it to her.

¹⁹ Her mother-in-law said to her, ‘Where did you gather barley today, and where did you work? May the Lord bless the man who noticed you.’^(A)

Ruth told her mother-in-law whom she had worked with and said, ‘The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.’
