The Bible story
Ruth in the Field of Boaz
In Bethlehem, Ruth went out to gather the grain the harvesters left behind, and she came to the field of Boaz, a relative of Naomi’s husband. Boaz was kind to her and told his workers to leave extra grain for her, and later he married her. Their great-grandson was King David.
So Ruth departed and went out into the field and gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
