Ruth 2:18-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. Then she brought out what she had left over from her meal and gave it to her.

¹⁹ Then 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 about the men she had worked with and said, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.”

²⁰ Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the Lord,^(B) who has not forsaken his^[a] kindness to the living or the dead.”^(C) Naomi continued, “The man is a close relative. He is one of our family redeemers.”^(D)
