Ruth 2:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “To whom does this young woman belong?” ⁶ The servant who was in charge of the reapers answered, “She is the Moabite who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. ⁷ She said, ‘Please, let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she has been on her feet from early this morning until now, without resting even for a moment.”^[a]
