19. And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!" And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man's name, that he was called Boaz.
20. Naomi answered her, "May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead." And again she said: "This man is our near relative."
21. And Ruth said, "He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped."
22. And her mother-in-law said to her, "It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger's field someone may confront you."
23. And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.
