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.’"
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It’s good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, so that men don’t assault you in another field."
23 Thus she stayed with Boaz’s young women, gleaning until the completion of the barley and wheat harvests. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
