Ruth 2:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Ruth 2:20

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.
