“Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.”
Ruth's continued gratitude and her self-characterization as less worthy than Boaz's servant girls reveals her continuing humility and her sense of having been elevated beyond her reasonable expectations. Her comfort in Boaz's kindness and her recognition of his words as reassuring suggest that she has internalized his acceptance and is beginning to feel secure in the covenant community. This expression of gratitude establishes Ruth as someone of genuine humility and integrity, qualities that will continue to win the favor and support of those around her.
