1 Naomi had a rich family man. His name was Boaz. He was from her husband’s big family. 2 Ruth said to Naomi, “I will go pick little grain in a field. Maybe someone will be kind.” Naomi said, “Go, my girl.” ♀️ 3 Ruth went to a field. She picked little grain. It was Boaz’s field. She did not know. 4 Boaz came from the town and said to the workers, “God bless you.” The workers said, “God bless you.” 5 Boaz asked the boss, “Who is that young woman?” 6 The boss said, “She is Ruth. She came from a far land with Naomi.” ➡️ 7 The boss said, “Ruth asked to pick little grain. She worked all morning. She sat for a short rest.” ⏸️ 8 Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my girl. Stay in my field. Stay with my girls.” ️ 9 Boaz said, “Watch my field. Follow my girls. I told the men, ‘Do not hurt her.’ When you are thirsty, drink the water from my jars.” ️ 10 Ruth bowed down and said, “Why are you so kind to me? I am from far away.” ♀️❤️ 11 Boaz said, “I heard what you did. You helped Naomi. You left your mom, dad, and land. You came here.” 12 Boaz said, “May God pay you back for your good work. The God of Israel will cover you like big wings. Stay near Him.” 13 Ruth said, “You are so kind to me. Your words make me feel good. I am not even your worker.” ️ 14 At lunch Boaz said, “Come eat.” Ruth ate bread and grain. She was full. She saved some food. 15 Ruth went to pick more. Boaz told the men, “Let her pick even near the big piles. Do not stop her.” ➡️ 16 Boaz said, “Pull out some grain on purpose. Leave it for her. Do not be mean.” ⬇️ 17 Ruth worked till night. She got a big bag of barley. 18 Ruth carried it home to Naomi. Naomi saw the grain. Ruth gave Naomi the saved food too. 19 Naomi said, “Where did you work? God bless the man who was kind!” Ruth said, “His name is Boaz.” ❓ 20 Naomi said, “God is kind to the living and to our men who died. Boaz is our close family. He can help us.” ❤️ 21 Ruth said, “Boaz also said, ‘Stay with my workers till the end of all the harvest.’” 22 Naomi said, “That is good, my girl. Stay with his girls. You will be safe in his field.” ️ 23 So Ruth stayed with Boaz’s girls. She worked through barley time and wheat time. She lived with Naomi. ➡️
