Restoration path: Bind yourself by oath to the people you have chosen; glean where the kinsman field happens to be; rest at the threshing-floor; receive the redemption. Markers: foreign convert; binds self to bitter mother; gleans humbly in the right field; approaches the kinsman with the right vulnerability; redeemed into the line
