Ruth 2:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Boaz spoke to the man in charge of his workers. He asked, “Who does that young woman belong to?”

⁶ The man replied, “She’s from Moab. She came back from there with Naomi. ⁷ The young woman said, ‘Please let me walk behind the workers. Let me pick up the grain that is left.’ She came into the field. She has kept on working here from morning until now. She took only one short rest in the shade.”
