H9002–/וְ–v

And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

וְעִמָּדִֽי׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וּמְצֶ֣אןָ (וּ) u. “and”

Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have a husband also to-night, and should 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 cleaved to her.

וְר֖וּת (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following 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: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if aught but death shall part thee and me.

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

I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

וְרֵיקָ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”וַֽיהוָה֙ (וַֽ) va. “and”וְשַׁדַּ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”

So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley-harvest.

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

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

וּֽלְנָעֳמִ֞י (וּֽ) u. “and”וּשְׁמ֖וֹ (וּ) u. “and”

And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

וַאֲלַקֳטָּ֣ה (וַ) va. “so”

And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.

וְהִנֵּה־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by 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 grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldst take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

וְאָּנֹכִ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”

And Boaz answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to 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 hast come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

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

The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust.

וּתְהִ֨י (וּ) u. “and”

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

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

And when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, 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 labored? blessed be he that took 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.

וְאָ֣נָה (וְ) ve. “and”

And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath 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 our next kinsmen.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean to the end of barley-harvest and of wheat-harvest; and 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 winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor.

וְעַתָּ֗ה (וְ) ve. “and”
