Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of Ruth. Boaz orders his workers not to bother Ruth and allows her to drink from the water provided for the harvesters. The protection includes physical safety and access to resources normally associated with the group’s work. Boaz treats the vulnerable foreign woman with generosity that goes beyond mere tolerance.

Und siehe, wo sie schneiden im Felde, da gehe ihnen nach. Ich habe meinen Knechten geboten, daß dich niemand antaste. Und so dich dürstet, so gehe hin zu dem Gefäß und trinke von dem, was meine Knechte schöpfen.
Mira bien el campo que segaren, y síguelas: porque yo he mandado a los mozos que no te toquen. Y si tuvieres sed, ve a los vasos, y bebe del agua que sacaren los mozos.
Regarde où l'on moissonne dans le champ, et va après elles. J'ai défendu à mes serviteurs de te toucher. Et quand tu auras soif, tu iras aux vases, et tu boiras de ce que les serviteurs auront puisé.
Abbi gli occhi al campo che si mieterà, e va’ dietro ad esse; non ho io comandato a’ servitori che non ti tocchino? e, se avrai sete, vattene a’ vasi, e bevi di ciò che i servitori avranno attinto.
Os teus olhos estarão atentos no campo que segarem, e irás após elas; não dei ordem aos moços, que não te molestem? Tendo tu sede, vai aos vasos, e bebe do que os moços tirarem.
你要看好我的僕人正在哪塊田收割,就跟著女僕們去。我已經吩咐僕人不可侵犯你。你渴了,可以到水缸那裏喝僕人打來的水。」
