“‘The one who sleeps with his mother-in-law is cursed.’
And all the people will say, ‘Amen! ’
Boaz answered her, “Everything you have done for your mother-in-law since your husband’s death has been fully reported to me: how you left your father and mother and your native land, and how you came to a people you didn’t previously know.
She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She brought out what she had left over from her meal and gave it to her.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you gather barley today, and where did you work? May the LORD bless the man who noticed you.”
Ruth told her mother-in-law whom she had worked with and said, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.”
Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished all of my harvest.’ ”
Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s female servants and gathered grain until the barley and the wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with[fn] her mother-in-law.
Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, shouldn’t I find rest for you, so that you will be taken care of?
She went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had charged her to do.
She went to her mother-in-law, Naomi, who asked her, “What happened,[fn] my daughter? ”
Then Ruth told her everything the man had done for her.
She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley, because he said,[fn] ‘Don’t go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’ ”
