Ruth 2:2-7

² And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter. ³ And she went, and came and took up the heads of grain in the field after the cutters; and by chance she went into that part of the field which was the property of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

⁴ And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing. ⁵ Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this? ⁶ And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab; ⁷ And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.
