Ruth 2:19-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

19. And her chamot said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned hayom (today)? And where did you work? Baruch be he who did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her chamot with whom she had worked, and said, Shem HaIsh with whom I worked hayom (today) is Boaz.

20. And Naomi said unto her kallah, Baruch hu l'Hashem asher lo azav chasdo et haChayyim v'et haMesim (Blessed be he of Hashem who hath not abandoned his chesed to the living and to the dead). And Naomi said unto her, The man is karov unto us. MiGoaleinu hu (he is one of our kinsmen redeemers).

21. And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep close by my ne'arim, until they have ended kol HaKatzir that is mine.

22. And Naomi said unto Ruth her kallah, It is tov, my daughter, that thou go out with his ne'arot, because in someone else's sadeh you might be harmed.

23. So she kept close by the ne'arot of Boaz to glean unto the end of katzir haseorim and of katzir chittim; and dwelt with her chamot.
