17So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.

19Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
