Ruth 2:19

Her mother-in-law [Naomi] asked her: ”Where [in the world] did you pick [all this] today? Where have you been working? May whoever saw you be blessed!” [The verbs in Naomi’s question are a bit oddly placed. The reason is probably to create a pun. The initial interrogative adverb ”was” is the Hebrew epho which is similar to the measure ”ephah” in verse 17. The phrase expresses Naomi’s surprise at Ruth’s productivity, and even before Ruth has time to answer, Naomi asks for God’s blessing on that man!] So Ruth told her mother-in-law where she worked and said: ”The name of the man I worked for is Boaz.”
