Ruth the Moabite said, “He even told me, ‘Stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
In context
19Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? Blessed be the one who noticed you.” So Ruth told her mother-in-law whom she had worked with, saying, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.” 20Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed be he by Yahweh, who has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.” Naomi added, “That man is a close relative of ours — one of our guardian-redeemers.” 21Ruth the Moabite said, “He even told me, ‘Stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’” 22Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, so that no one bothers you in another field.” 23So she stayed close to the young women of Boaz, gathering grain until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
