BRAGADAYJAH 791
So Ruth, at the end of the day,
returned home and gave to Naomi a goodly portion of what she had gleaned. And
Naomi asked her, where she had gleaned that day and with whom. And Ruth revealed to her all the blessings
she had had that day, and said that the man’s name was Boaz. And Naomi said
unto her, “Ruth, blessed be he of the Lord who has not left off his kindness to
the living and to the dead.” And Naomi told Ruth that Boaz was near kinsman
unto them and in fact one of the next of kin.
And Ruth in response told Naomi that
Boaz had also told her that she should stay close to his young men until they
had completed the harvest. And Naomi told her, that it was good that she was
going out with Boaz’s maidens, and not in some other field. So she kept close
to the maidens of Boaz and gleaned until the end of the barley harvest, and the
end of the wheat harvest, while continuing to dwell with Naomi. www.chaberbooks.com
