Ruth 2:13-16

"May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord," she said. "You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant--though I do not have the standing of one of your servants." At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar." When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all she wanted and had some left over. As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, "Let her gather among the sheaves and don't reprimand her. Even pull our some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don't rebuke her."

 

May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord

Genesis 18:3  He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by."  

Ruth 2:2  And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor."

Ruth 2:10  At this she bowed down with her face to the ground. She asked him, "Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you would notice me--a foreigner?" 

Esther 2:15  When the turn came for Esther (the young woman Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail) to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the harem suggested. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.

Esther 2:17  Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

Esther 5:8  "If the king regards me with favor and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king's question."

Esther 7:3  Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life--this is my petition. And spare my people--this is my request."

Ruth 1:6  When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there.

When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain 

Joshua 5:11  The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.

She ate all she wanted and had some left over 

Ruth 2:18  She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over after she had eaten enough.
