But Ruth said,“ Do not plead with me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you sleep, I will sleep. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord do so to me, and worse, if anything but death separates me from you.”

Joshua 2:1-22
Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying,“ Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and rested there.But it was told to the king of Jericho, saying,“ Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to spy out the land.”And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying,“ Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to spy out all the land.”But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said,“ Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.It came about, when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them.”But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them in the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan, to the crossing places; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.Now before the spies lay down, she came up to them on the roof,and said to the men,“ I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have despaired because of you.For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.When we heard these reports, our hearts melted and no courage remained in anyone any longer because of you; for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth below.Now then, please swear to me by the Lord, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s household, and give me a pledge of truth,and spare my father and my mother, and my brothers and my sisters, and all who belong to them, and save our lives from death.”So the men said to her,“ Our life for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the Lord gives us the land that we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.”Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall, so that she was living on the wall.And she said to them,“ Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not encounter you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.”And the men said to her,“ We shall be exempt from this oath to you which you have made us swear,unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather into your house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.And it shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house outside will have his blood on his own head, and we will be innocent; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him.But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be exempt from the oath which you have made us swear.”She then said,“ According to your words, so be it.” So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.So they departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days, until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had searched for them all along the road, but had not found them.

Joshua 6:22-25
And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land,“ Go into the prostitute’s house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, just as you have sworn to her.”So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives, and placed them outside the camp of Israel.Then they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and the articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.However, Rahab the prostitute and her father’s household and all she had, Joshua spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

Ruth 1:22-2:4
So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, who returned from the land of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi,“ Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain following one in whose eyes I may find favor.” And she said to her,“ Go, my daughter.”So she left and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers,“ May the Lord be with you.” And they said to him,“ May the Lord bless you.”
