       Ruth 2:4-7 King James Version (KJV)
       4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the
       reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD
       bless thee.
       5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers,
       Whose damsel is this?
       6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and
       said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out
       of the country of Moab:
       7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the
       reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even
       from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the
       house.
       Ruth 2:4-7 New Life Version (NLV)
       4 Now Boaz was seen coming from Bethlehem. He said to the people
       gathering the grain, “May the Lord be with you.” And they said
       to him, “May the Lord bring good to you.” 5 Then Boaz said to
       his servant who was watching over those who gathered grain,
       “Whose young woman is this?”6 The servant who watched over those
       who gathered grain said, “She is the young Moabite woman who
       returned with Naomi from the land of Moab. 7 She said, ‘Let me
       gather food behind the others who gather among the grain.’ So
       she came and has stayed from morning until now. She has rested
       in the house a short time.”

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       4 He had people gathering grain for him from his fields his
       workers or he may be allowing others to gather grain from his
       fields because he had plenty but either way he is there giving a
       blessing.
       5 It was not common for a woman to gather grain but her husband
       or son would for her.
       6 So he knew she was with Naomi but did not know much about Ruth
       from Moab.
       7 So she keeps gathering grain and is working hard to get the
       grain she needs. How much work are we willing to do?
