Ruth 2:8–13

⁸And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully,^h my daughter, go no longer to glean in another field. Moreover, do not leave from this one, but stay closeⁱ with my young women. ⁹Keep your eyes on the field that they reap and go after them. Have I not ordered the servants not to bother you? And if you get thirsty, you shall go to the containers and drink from where the servants have drawn.” ¹⁰And she fell on her face and bowed down to the ground and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes by recognizing me—for I am a foreigner?” ¹¹And Boaz answered and said to her, “All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband was fully told to me. How you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and you went to a people that you did not know before.^{j 12}May Yahweh reward your work and may a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you came to take refuge.” ¹³And she said, “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord, for you have comforted me and have spoken kindly to your servant,^k and I am not one of your servants.”
