15 Then she got up to glean.Boaz ordered his young men, "Let her glean between the bundles, and don’t humiliate her.
16 Also, pull out some from the bales for her and leave them behind for her to glean. And don’t scold her."
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed what she had gleaned; it was about an ephah of barley.
18 She picked it up and went into town. Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She brought out what she had left over after eating her fill and gave it to her.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where did you glean today? Where did you work? May the one who noticed you be blessed."She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz."
20 Naomi replied to her daughter-in-law, "May he be blessed by the Lord, who hasn’t abandoned his faithfulness with the living or with the dead." Naomi said to her, "The man is one of our close relatives; he’s one of our redeemers."
21 Ruth the Moabite replied, "Furthermore, he said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they’ve finished all of my harvest.’"
