Boaz and Ruth Book of Ruth A man named Elimelech went to live in the fields of Moab, he and his wife Naomi, and his two sons. He died and left his wife and her two sons. They married women of Moab. The name of one was Orpah, and the name of the second, Ruth. After ten years, both of the sons died. Naomi went to return to the land of Judah with her daughters-in-law. She told Orpah and Ruth to go back home to their families. Orpah left, but Ruth begged Naomi to stay. She would not leave her. Naomi had a kinsman of her husband, a mighty man of the family. His name was Boaz. Ruth told Naomi to let her go glean in the field for grain so she might find favor with Boaz. Ruth went to the field and Boaz asked who the woman was. Boaz told Ruth to stay close to his young woman to glean the field and he told the young men not to touch her. She fell on her face and asked Boaz why she has found grace with him. He told her it was because she was so kind to her mother-in-law after her husband died. Ruth brought the grain she gleaned back to Naomi. She told Naomi that she was able to glean the field with Boaz. Ruth stayed close to the young women of Boaz and worked until the end of the barley and the wheat harvest. Naomi told Ruth to go to Boaz on the threshing floor and when he was finished eating she should lie at his feet. Ruth went and did all that Naomi told her to do. Boaz woke in the middle of the night and found Ruth lying at his feet. She told him to spread his skirt over her for he was her kinsman redeemer. Boaz told Ruth there was another kinsman to redeem her, but if he did not, he would. He told her to stay until morning. She rose up early and Boaz gave her barley to take back to Naomi. Boaz went up to the gate to wait for the near kinsman. He was passing by and he took the elders of the city to talk about being the kinsman redeemer for Ruth. Boaz married Ruth and they had a son named Obed. Naomi became nurse to him. Obed was the father of Jesse who was the father of King David.
