Ruth 2:21 in Context — Ruth 2

19 E disse-lhe sua sogra: Onde tiraste espigas hoje? e onde trabalhaste? Bendito seja o que te reconheceu. E ela declarou à sua sogra o que lhe havia acontecido com aquele, e disse: O nome do homem com quem hoje trabalhei é Boaz.

20 E disse Noemi à sua nora: Seja ele bendito do SENHOR, pois que não recusou aos vivos a benevolência que teve para com os finados. Disse-lhe depois Noemi: Nosso parente é aquele homem, e de nossos remidores é.

21 E Rute moabita disse: a mais disto me disse: Junta-te com meus criados, até que tenham acabado toda minha colheita.

22 E Noemi respondeu a Rute sua nora: Melhor é, filha minha, que saias com suas criadas, que não que te encontrem em outro campo.

23 Esteve, pois, junto com as moças de Boaz tirando espigas, até que a colheita das cevadas e a dos trigos foi acabada; mas com sua sogra habitou.
