Rut 2:19-20 | MHM | STEP | v. 19–20 : Naomi asked Ruth where she had gleaned, showing she cared about Ruth’s activities and safety. Ruth explained everything and told her how kind Boaz had been. Naomi was thankful and prayed for Boaz, saying, Blessed be he of the Lord (Ruth 2:19–20 ). Naomi remembered that Boaz had been kind to both the living and the dead—her family in the past and now to Ruth. She also told Ruth that Boaz was a close relative, a “kinsman-redeemer,” who could help their family in a special way (Job 29:13; Exodus 22:27 ).
