1 And Naomi hath an acquaintance of her husband's, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name 'is' Boaz.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess saith unto Naomi, 'Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after him in whose eyes I find grace;' and she saith to her, 'Go, my daughter.'
3 And she goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the reapers, and her chance happeneth -- the portion of the field is Boaz's who 'is' of the family of Elimelech.
4 And lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the reapers, 'Jehovah 'is' with you;' and they say to him, 'Jehovah doth bless thee.'
