02 : 08 Then said <00559 +>amar > Boaz <01162 +Bo<az > unto Ruth

02 : 10 Then she fell <05307 +naphal > on <05921 +<al > her face

02 : 14 And Boaz <01162 +Bo<az > said <00559 +>amar > unto her ,
At mealtime come <05060 +naga< > thou hither <01988 +halom > ,

02 : 15 And when she was risen <06965 +quwm > up to glean <03950
