Chapter 2
And
Naomi
had
a
kinseman
of
her
husbands,
a
mighty
man
of
wealth,
of
the
familie
of
Elimelech,
and
his
name
was
Boaz.
2
And
Ruth
the
Moabitesse
saide
vnto
Naomi,
Let
me
now
goe
to
the
field,
and
gleane
eares
of
corne
after
him,
in
whose
sight
I
shall
finde
grace.
And
shee
saide
vnto
her,
Goe,
my
daughter.
3
And
she
went,
and
came,
and
gleaned
in
the
field
after
the
reapers:
and
her
happe
was
to
light
on
a
part
of
the
fielde
belonging
vnto
Boaz,
who
was
of
the
kinred
of
Elimelech.
4
And
behold,
Boaz
came
from
Bethlehem,
and
said
vnto
the
reapers,
The
Lord
bee
with
you;
and
they
answered
him,
The
Lord
blesse
thee.
5
Then
said
Boaz
vnto
his
seruant,
that
was
set
ouer
the
reapers,
Whose
damosell
is
this?
6
And
the
seruaunt
that
was
set
ouer
the
reapers,
answered
and
said,
It
is
the
Moabitish
damosell
that
came
backe
with
Naomi
out
of
the
countrey
of
Moab:
7
And
she
said,
I
pray
you,
let
mee
gleane
and
gather
after
the
reapers
amongst
the
sheaues:
so
shee
came,
and
hath
continued
euen
from
the
morning
vntill
now,
that
she
taried
a
little
in
the
house.
8
Then
said
Boaz
vnto
Ruth,
Hearest
thou
not,
my
daughter?
Goe
not
to
gleane
in
another
field,
neither
goe
from
hence,
but
abide
here
fast
by
my
maidens.
9
Let
thine
eyes
be
on
the
field
that
they
doe
reape,
and
go
thou
after
them:
Haue
I
not
charged
the
young
men,
that
they
shall
not
touch
thee?
and
when
thou
art
athirst,
goe
vnto
the
vessels,
and
drinke
of
that
which
the
yong
men
haue
drawen.
10
Then
she
fel
on
her
face,
and
bowed
her
selfe
to
the
ground,
and
said
vnto
him,
Why
haue
I
found
grace
in
thine
eyes,
that
thou
shouldest
take
knowledge
of
me,
seeing
I
am
a
stranger?
11
And
Boaz
answered
and
said
vnto
her,
It
hath
fully
bene
shewed
me,
all
that
thou
hast
done
vnto
thy
mother
in
law
since
the
death
of
thine
husband:
and
how
thou
hast
left
thy
father
and
thy
mother,
and
the
land
of
thy
natiuitie,
and
art
come
vnto
a
people,
which
thou
knewest
not
heretofore.
12
The
Lord
recompense
thy
worke,
and
a
full
reward
be
giuen
thee
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
vnder
whose
wings
thou
art
come
to
trust.
13
Then
she
said,
Let
me
finde
fauour
in
thy
sight,
my
lord,
for
that
thou
hast
comforted
mee,
and
for
that
thou
hast
spoken
friendly
vnto
thine
handmaid,
though
I
be
not
like
vnto
one
of
thy
hand-maidens.
14
And
Boaz
sayde
vnto
her,
At
meale
time
come
thou
hither,
and
eate
of
the
bread,
and
dip
thy
morsell
in
the
vineger.
And
shee
sate
beside
the
reapers:
and
he
reached
her
parched
corne,
and
she
did
eate,
and
was
sufficed,
and
left.
15
And
when
shee
was
risen
vp
to
gleane,
Boaz
commanded
his
young
men,
saying,
Let
her
gleane
euen
among
the
sheaues,
&
reproch
her
not.
16
And
let
fall
also
some
of
the
handfuls
of
purpose
for
her,
and
leaue
them
that
she
may
gleane
them,
and
rebuke
her
not.
17
So
she
gleaned
in
the
field
vntill
euen,
and
beat
out
that
she
had
gleaned:
and
it
was
about
an
Ephah
of
barley.
18
And
shee
tooke
it
vp,
and
went
into
the
citie:
and
her
mother
in
lawe
saw
what
shee
had
gleaned;
and
shee
brought
foorth,
and
gaue
to
her
that
she
had
reserued,
after
she
was
sufficed.
19
And
her
mother
in
law
said
vnto
her,
Where
hast
thou
gleaned
to
day?
and
where
wroughtest
thou?
blessed
be
hee
that
did
take
knowledge
of
thee.
And
shee
shewed
her
mother
in
lawe
with
whom
shee
had
wrought,
and
said,
The
mans
name
with
whom
I
wrought
to
day,
is
Boaz.
20
And
Naomi
said
vnto
her
daughter
in
law,
Blessed
be
he
of
the
Lord,
who
hath
not
left
off
his
kindnesse
to
the
liuing
and
to
the
dead.
And
Naomi
said
vnto
her,
The
man
is
neere
of
kin
vnto
vs,
one
of
our
next
kinsemen.
21
And
Ruth
the
Moabitesse
said,
He
said
vnto
me
also,
Thou
shalt
keepe
fast
by
my
yong
men,
vntill
they
haue
ended
all
my
haruest.
22
And
Naomi
said
vnto
Ruth
her
daughter
in
law,
It
is
good,
my
daughter,
that
thou
goe
out
with
his
maidens,
that
they
meete
thee
not
in
any
other
field.
23
So
shee
kept
fast
by
the
maidens
of
Boaz
to
gleane,
vnto
the
end
of
barley
haruest,
and
of
wheat
haruest,
and
dwelt
with
her
mother
in
law.
