Ruth 2:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ So her mother-in-law quizzed her, “Where did you glean today? Where, precisely, did you work? May the one who took notice of you be blessed.”

So Ruth told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

²⁰ Naomi replied, “May the one who hasn’t abandoned his gracious love to the living or to the dead be blessed by the Lord.” Naomi added, “This man is closely related to us, our related redeemer,^[a] as a matter of fact!”

²¹ Then Ruth the Moabite woman added, “He also told me ‘Stay close to my young men until they have completed my entire harvest.’”
