Ruth 2:18-20

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁸ She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She brought out what she had left over from her meal and gave it to her.

¹⁹ Her mother-in-law said to her, ‘Where did you gather barley today, and where did you work? May the Lord bless the man who noticed you.’^(A)

Ruth told her mother-in-law whom she had worked with and said, ‘The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.’

²⁰ Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, ‘May the Lord^(B) bless him because he has not abandoned his kindness to the living or the dead.’^(C) Naomi continued, ‘The man is a close relative. He is one of our family redeemers.’^(D)
