Ruth 2:7-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. She said, ‘Please let me glean so that I might gather up grain from among the bundles behind the harvesters.’ She arrived and has been on her feet from the morning until now, and has sat down for only a moment."

8. Boaz said to Ruth, "Haven’t you understood, my daughter? Don’t go glean in another field; don’t go anywhere else. Instead, stay here with my young women.

9. Keep your eyes on the field that they are harvesting and go along after them. I’ve ordered the young men not to assault you. Whenever you are thirsty, go to the jugs and drink from what the young men have filled."

10. Then she bowed down, face to the ground, and replied to him, "How is it that I’ve found favor in your eyes, that you notice me? I’m an immigrant."
