Ruth 2:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Boaz asked his foreman of the harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?” ⁶ The foreman of the harvesters answered, “The young woman is a Moabite. She came back with Naomi from the land of Moab. ⁷ She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather the sheaves after the harvesters.’ She arrived early this morning and has continued working continuously until now, except for a short rest in the shelter.”
