3. So Ruth went to the fields. She followed the workers who were cutting the grain and gathered the grain that was left. It happened that part of the field belonged to Boaz, the man from Elimelech’s family.
4. Later, Boaz came to the field from Bethlehem and greeted his workers. He said, “The Lord be with you!” And the workers answered, “And may the Lord bless you!”
5. Then Boaz spoke to his servant who was in charge of the workers. He asked, “Whose girl is that?”
6. The servant answered, “She is the Moabite woman who came with Naomi from the country of Moab.
7. She came early this morning and asked me if she could follow the workers and gather the grain that was left on the ground. She rested only a short time in that shelter.”
