Ruth 2:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Boaz said to his young man, the one who was overseeing the harvesters, “To whom does this young woman belong?”

⁶ The young man who was overseeing the harvesters answered, “She’s a young Moabite woman, the one who returned with Naomi from the territory of Moab. ⁷ She said, ‘Please let me glean so that I might gather up grain from among the bundles behind the harvesters.’ She arrived and has been on her feet from the morning until now, and has sat down for only a moment.”^[a]
