TDNT Reference: 3:1,311
Strong's Number G4503 matches the Greek Ῥούθ (routh),
which occurs 19 times in 19 verses
in the LXX Greek.
Her sons took Moabite women as their wives: one was named Orpah and the second was named Ruth. After they lived in Moab about ten years,
Naomi said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Follow your sister-in-law.”
But Ruth replied:
Don’t plead with me to abandon you
or to return and not follow you.
For wherever you go, I will go,
and wherever you live, I will live;
your people will be my people,
and your God will be my God.
So Naomi came back from the territory of Moab with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabitess. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
Ruth the Moabitess asked Naomi, “Will you let me go into the fields and gather fallen grain behind someone with whom I find favor? ”
Naomi answered her, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter.[fn] Don’t go and gather grain in another field, and don’t leave this one, but stay here close to my female servants.
At mealtime Boaz told her, “Come over here and have some bread and dip it in the vinegar sauce.” So she sat beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain. She ate and was satisfied and had some left over.
She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She brought out what she had left over from her meal and gave it to her.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you gather barley today, and where did you work? May the LORD bless the man who noticed you.”
Ruth told her mother-in-law whom she had worked with and said, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.”
Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished all of my harvest.’ ”
So Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work[fn] with his female servants, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s female servants and gathered grain until the barley and the wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with[fn] her mother-in-law.
So he asked, “Who are you? ”
“I am Ruth, your servant,” she replied. “Take me under your wing,[fn] for you are a family redeemer.”
She went to her mother-in-law, Naomi, who asked her, “What happened,[fn] my daughter? ”
Then Ruth told her everything the man had done for her.
“I have also acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to perpetuate the deceased man’s name on his property, so that his name will not disappear among his relatives or from the gate of his hometown. You are witnesses today.”
