Ruth 1:17
I will die where you die, and be buried there. May the Lord bring a curse upon me, if anything but death separate you and me.’
Ruth 2:3
So she went to glean in the field after the reapers. As it happened, she was in that part of the field which belonged to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

‘Whose girl is this?’ Boaz asked his servant who had charge of the reapers.
Ruth 2:7
She asked to be allowed to glean and gather sheaves after the reapers. So she came and has continued to work until now and she has not rested a moment in the field.’
