boaz And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] {Boaz}. boaz And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field [belonging] unto {Boaz}, who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech. boaz And, behold, {Boaz} came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. boaz Then said {Boaz} unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel [is] this? boaz Then said {Boaz} unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: boaz And {Boaz} answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. boaz And {Boaz} said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched [corn], and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. boaz And when she was risen up to glean, {Boaz} commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: boaz And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day [is] {Boaz}. boaz So she kept fast by the maidens of {Boaz} to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law. boaz And now [is] not {Boaz} of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. boaz And when {Boaz} had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. boaz Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom {Boaz} spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. boaz Then went {Boaz} up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. boaz Then said {Boaz}, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. boaz Therefore the kinsman said unto {Boaz}, Buy [it] for thee. So he drew off his shoe. boaz And {Boaz} said unto the elders, and [unto] all the people, Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's, and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. boaz So {Boaz} took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. boaz And Salmon begat {Boaz}, and Boaz begat Obed, boaz And Salmon begat Boaz, and {Boaz} begat Obed, boaz <1KI7 -21> And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof {Boaz}. boaz <1CH2 -11> And Nahshon begat Salma, and Salma begat {Boaz}, boaz <1CH2 -12> And {Boaz} begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse. boaz <2CH3 -17> And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left {Boaz}. ~~~~~~
