Ruth 2:19

‘Where did you glean today, and where did you work?’ asked her mother-in-law. ‘A blessing on him who took notice of you!’ So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. ‘The name of the man with whom I worked today,’ she said, ‘is Boaz.’

Ruth 4:2

Boaz also took ten of the town elders and said, ‘Sit down here.’ So they sat down.
