"And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.” "
— Ruth 2:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.”
“And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. ”
“Ruth the Moabitess said, "Yes, he said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"”
“Ruth the Moabite replied,“He even told me,‘You may go along beside my servants until they have finished gathering all my harvest!’””
“And Ruth said: He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.”
“And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.”
“And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.”
Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.
And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!” And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man’s name, that he was called Boaz.
Naomi answered her, “May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead.” And again she said: “This man is our near relative.”
And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.”
And her mother-in-law said to her, “It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger’s field someone may confront you.”
And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.
