And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 3 of Ruth. Naomi recalls that Boaz is a relative and that he will be winnowing barley that night. This concrete information prepares the plan that will follow. The scene shows that the family’s restoration will unfold through ordinary agricultural and family practices, rather than through a visible extraordinary intervention.

Nun, der Boas, unser Verwandter, bei des Dirnen du gewesen bist, worfelt diese Nacht Gerste auf seiner Tenne.
¿No es Booz nuestro pariente, con cuyas mozas tú has estado? He aquí que él avienta esta noche la parva de las cebadas.
Booz, con cuyas criadas has estado, ¿no es pariente nuestro? Esta noche estará aventando cebada en la era.
Et maintenant Boaz, avec les servantes duquel tu as été, n'est-il pas notre parent? Voici, il doit vanner cette nuit les orges qui sont dans l'aire.
Ora dunque, Booz, con le cui fanciulle tu sei stata, non è egli nostro parente? ecco, egli sventolerà questa notte gli orzi nell’aia.
Ora, pois, não é Boaz, com cujas moças estiveste, de nossa parentela? Eis que esta noite padejará a cevada na eira.
你與 波阿斯 的女僕常在一處,現在, 波阿斯 不是我們的親人嗎?看哪,他今夜將在禾場簸大麥。
