21Ruth the Moabitess said, |Yes, he said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'|


In Context

18 She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.

19 Her mother-in-law said to her, |Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.| She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, |The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.|

20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, |Blessed be he of Yahweh, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.| Naomi said to her, |The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.|

21 Ruth the Moabitess said, |Yes, he said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'|

22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, |It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.|

23 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
