Go not to glean in another field, neither e go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: 9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them have I not charged the young men that they shall not touchf thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. 10 Then she fell g on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? 11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed meh all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. 12 The LORD recompense i thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou k art come to trust. 13 Then she said, 3 Let me find m Ruth's kindred RUTH, III, IV. 17 So she gleaned in the field until B.
