4:1 Now Boaz went up 1 to the village gate and sat there. Then along came the guardian 2 whom Boaz had mentioned to Ruth! 3 Boaz said, “Come 4 here and sit down, ‘John Doe’!” 5 So he came 6 and sat down.
2:10 Ruth 7 knelt before him with her forehead to the ground 8 and said to him, “Why are you so kind 9 and so attentive to me, 10 even though 11 I am a foreigner?” 12 2:11 Boaz replied to her, 13 “I have been given a full report of 14 all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband – how you left 15 your father and your mother, as well as your homeland, and came to live among people you did not know previously. 16 2:12 May the Lord reward your efforts! 17 May your acts of kindness be repaid fully 18 by the Lord God of Israel, from whom you have sought protection!” 19
