וְעִמָּדִֽי׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each in the house of her husband. And she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice and wept.

וּמְצֶ֣אןָ (וּ) u. “and”

Return, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, should I even have a husband to-night, and should I also bear sons,

וְגַ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave to her.

And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back to her people and to her gods: return after thy sister-in-law.

וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Ruth said, Do not intreat me to leave thee, to return from [ergänzt: following] after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;

וּבַאֲשֶׁ֤ר (וּ) u. “and”וֵאלֹהַ֖יִךְ (וֵ) ve. “and”

where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me and thee!

וְשָׁ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְכֹ֣ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּבֵינֵֽךְ׃ (וּ) u. “and”

I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has brought me low, and the Almighty has afflicted me?

So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of the barley-harvest.

וְר֨וּת (וְ) ve. “and”וְהֵ֗מָּה (וְ) ve. “and”

And Naomi had a relation of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.

And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me, I pray, go to the field and glean among the ears of corn after [ergänzt: him] in whose sight I shall find favour. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

וַאֲלַקֳטָּ֣ה (וַ) va. “so”

And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you! And they said to him, Jehovah bless thee!

וְהִנֵּה־ (וְ) ve. “and”

and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers. And she came, and has continued from the morning until now: her sitting in the house has been little as yet.

וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Boaz said to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but keep here with my maidens.

וְגַ֛ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְכֹ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest regard me, seeing I am a foreigner?

וְאָּנֹכִ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”

And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shewn me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come to a people that thou hast not known heretofore.

וְאִמֵּ֗ךְ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶ֙רֶץ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

Jehovah recompense thy work, and let thy reward be full from Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.

וּתְהִ֨י (וּ) u. “and”

And she said, Let me find favour in thine eyes, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens.

וְכִ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָנֹכִי֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and ye shall not reproach her.

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

And ye shall also sometimes draw out for her [ergänzt: some ears] out of the handfuls, and leave them that she may glean, and rebuke her not.

וְגַ֛ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? Blessed be he that did regard thee! And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.

וְאָ֣נָה (וְ) ve. “and”

And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead! And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of those who have the right of our redemption.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

So she kept with the maidens of Boaz to glean, until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

וּקְצִ֣יר (וּ) u. “and”

And now, is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he is winnowing barley in the threshing-floor to-night.
