Ruth and Boaz
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain.
And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
She went, and came and took up the heads of grain in the field after the cutters;
and by chance she went into that part of the field which was the property of Boaz.
And Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the grain-cutters, the Lord be with you.
They made answer, the Lord give you his blessing.
Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this?
And he said it is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;
and she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters.
So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, Give ear to me, my daughter: do not go to take up the grain in another field, or go away from here, but keep here by my young women: keep your eyes on the field they are cutting, and go
have I not given orders to the young men not to put a hand on you?
When you are in need of drink go to the vessels and take of what the young men have put there.
Then she went down on her face to the earth, and said to him, Why have I grace in your eyes, that you give attention to me seeing I am from a strange people?
Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband;
how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.
The Lord give you a reward for what you have done.
Additional Reading
In this and coming Stages, some additional reading on the story and its connections will be made.
Thus your knowledge of new words will increase.
Your range of examples will keep growing.
The first observation to make is that the Story of Ruth has its importance in the fact that she was the great grandmother of the important ruler, King David.
Now, she seemed to the Jews to be a person from another country.
She therefore did not have a good relationship with them.
But, because Ruth had come all that way with her mother-in-law, she had the warm respect of the group, and especially of Boaz.
She was a woman of quality.
It was also the rule in that land for the poor and needy to take up the grain which might have fallen from the grain-cutters.
Naturally, there was not much that was let fall, and that was why Ruth had not rested even for a minute.
She was trying to see any small grains that had not been taken up by the cutters.
