14 Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and awas satisfied, and kept some back.  
15 And when she rose up to1 glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not2 reproach her.  
16 Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of abarley.  
18 Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought out and gave to her awhat she had kept back after she had been satisfied.  
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who atook notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”  
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, a“Blessed be he of the Lord, who bhas not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!” And Naomi said to her, “This man is a relation of ours, cone of our close relatives.”  
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also said to me, ‘You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not1 meet you in any other field.”  
23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
