laugh, child.

This woman has laughter that

can light up the darkest night.

Naomi, have some more water.

Stop!

Stop saying my name.

Stop calling me Naomi.

It means pleasant,

and I am far from that.

Ive lost everything.

My name should be Marah.

The emptiness and bitterness

can only describe what I'm

feeling in this moment.

But you are home now,

the Lord will show His favor

on you.

- Well, I should be-- I should be leaving.

- I didn't mean...

No, no, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm just so happy

to have you back.

And you too, Ruth.

We're home now.

Oh, please, God,

show us your mercy.

If not for me, then for Ruth.

Well, good morning.

Youve changed.

My dress was torn.

It's time.

Today I will go to the fields

to glean.

No, Ruth.

I thought that's what you

called it.

It is.

I meant that it's my job.

You cannot do that for me.

No, you stay here

and make your home.

Let me do this for you.

Very well

But please, be careful.

First day?

Yes.

It's quite easy.

Just watch me, youll learn

quickly.

I am Ruth, daughter

of Naomi.

I am Simeon,

picker of the wheat.

men, look at all this wheat.

God has really been good to us.

Yes, He has.

Just finished surveying the

fields here and we think we're

gonna finish with more crops

and ahead of schedule.

That is glorious news.

So, what would you

have us do next?

Sir?

What would you have us do next?

What?

We're ahead of schedule.

That's good.

You all right, sir?

Seth, who's that woman

over there?

I-- I have no idea.

I dont have time to take

the name of everyone,

especially the gleaners.

What is wrong with him?

How should I know?

Benjamin, do you know

the name of this woman?

No, sir.

Seth had me tending the grain

all day and my hands were kind

of full.

Sir, why are you so

concerned with this woman,

and a foreigner at that?

Do any of my workers know

the name of this woman?

May I speak, sir?

Yes, my friend.

Her name is Ruth.

Ruth.

She's the daughter of Naomi.

She's been working with me

all day and has not stopped.

If my services are through

here, sir, I'd like to return

to my work.

Of course.

Sir, you need to focus

on the grain.

I am tired of you

questioning my decisions.

You're relieved of your duties.

But, sir.

Leave now.

I'll report this to Neb.

Tell my uncle whatever

you wish.

You, sir, what's your name?

They call me Simeon.

Well, Simeon,

congratulations.

Youve become my new chief

harvester.

Seems like you know more about

my fields than my workers do.

Blessings to you.

Blessings to you.

To you as well.

Is it true that you're

the daughter of Naomi?

Yes, sir.

You dont have to call me

sir.

I'm not your master.
