Ruth 2:1-3
Living Bible
2 Now Naomi had an in-law there in Bethlehem who was a very wealthy man. His name was Boaz.
2 One day Ruth said to Naomi, “Perhaps I can go out into the fields of some kind man to glean the free grain[a] behind his reapers.”
And Naomi said, “All right, dear daughter. Go ahead.”
3 So she did. And as it happened, the field where she found herself belonged to Boaz, this relative of Naomi’s husband.
