Then she fell 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? And Boaz

answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me 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. The Lord

recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose

wings thou art come to trust. Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that

thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be

not like unto one of thine handmaidens. And Boaz said unto her, At meal-time come thou hither,

and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he

reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. And when she was risen up

to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and re-

proach her not. And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them that she

may glean them, and rebuke her not. So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she

had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley.
