       Ruth 2:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
       2 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of
       wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
       2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the
       field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall
       find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
       3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the
       reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field
       belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
       Ruth 2:1-3 New Life Version (NLV)
       Ruth Meets Boaz
       2 There was an in-law of the family of Naomi’s husband there
       whose name was Boaz. He was a very rich man of the family of
       Elimelech. 2 Ruth, the Moabite woman, said to Naomi, “Let me go
       to the field to gather grain behind someone who might show favor
       to me.” Naomi said to her, “Go, my daughter.” 3 So Ruth went and
       gathered in the field behind those who picked the grain. And she
       happened to come to the part of the field that belonged to Boaz,
       who was of the family of Elimelech.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       1 So he was her husband’s kin. Wealth showed God’s favor often
       times especially for the Jewish people; this was only true
       during times where they were not captives so this was not true
       during the time of Christ.
       2 According to Jewish law they were not to go back thru the
       fields picking up any missed grain for people who were without
       could gather it to eat. This is what Jesus and His disciples
       were doing on the Sabbath that angered the Pharisees. We are to
       find the Lord’s favor.
       3 So she starts to gather in Boaz’s field it is likely she went
       thru many fields so that she had enough from what was left over.
