Ruth
gleaneth in the fields of Boaz.
Ruth 2:3,5-9,12
And she went,
and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and
her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto
Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech... ...Then said
Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose
damsel is this? And the servant that was set over the reapers
answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back
with Naomi out of the country of Moab: And she said, I pray
you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves:
so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until
now, that she tarried a little in the house. Then said Boaz
unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean
in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast
by my maidens: Let thine eyes be on the field that they do
reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young
men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst,
go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men
have drawn... ...The Lord recompense thy work, and a full
reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose
wings thou art come to trust. (KJV)
