2. Ruth 1:4

3. Ruth 1:14
At this they wept again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth clung to her.

4. Ruth 1:16
But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

5. Ruth 1:18
When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.

6. Ruth 1:22
So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning.

8. Ruth 2:2
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor."

9. Ruth 2:8
So Boaz said to Ruth, "My daughter, listen to me. Don't go and glean in another field and don't go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.

10. Ruth 2:17
So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.

11. Ruth 2:18
She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over after she had eaten enough.

12. Ruth 2:19
Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. "The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz," she said.

13. Ruth 2:21
Then Ruth the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.' "

14. Ruth 2:22
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It will be good for you, my daughter, to go with his girls, because in someone else's field you might be harmed."

15. Ruth 2:23
So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

18. Ruth 3:5
"I will do whatever you say," Ruth answered.

19. Ruth 3:7
When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down.

20. Ruth 3:9
"I am your servant Ruth," she said. "Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a kinsman-redeemer."

21. Ruth 3:16
When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, "How did it go, my daughter?"

22. Ruth 4:1

23. Ruth 4:5
Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the land from Naomi and from Ruth the Moabitess, you acquire the dead man's widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property."

24. Ruth 4:10
I have also acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon's widow, as my wife, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from the town records. Today you are witnesses!"

25. Ruth 4:13
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. Then he went to her, and the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
